Overview
Discover the real coastal life of Ecuador on this small group half-day tour through Manta and Montecristi.
Start in Manta, one of Ecuador’s most important fishing ports, and visit the local fish market to see fishermen, vendors, fresh seafood, and daily coastal life up close.
Then continue to Montecristi, a peaceful historic town known worldwide for its fine toquilla straw hats, often called Panama hats. Walk around its central plaza, visit local hat workshops, and learn about the craftsmanship, traditions, and culture that make this town special.
Throughout the tour, your local guide will share stories and practical insights about Manabí, its people, food, history, and coastal identity.
This experience is ideal for cruise passengers, hotel guests, and travelers who want more than a generic sightseeing tour. It is personal, relaxed, and well organized, with transportation included and a maximum of 4 travelers for a more local and authentic experience.
Food, drinks, and personal purchases are not included.
