Safety & Security
Safety is central to everything we do at Evaneos. Our job is to provide our travelers with a range of guarantees such as secure online payment, prices in USD, trip replacement or reimbursement services, plus a dedicated Customer Care Team, so you and your companions can set off with total peace of mind.
24/7 on-the-ground assistance
In addition to the support of the Evaneos Customer Care Team, our local travel agents provide 24/7 on-the-ground assistance while you're in the destination. After all, who's better suited to assist you during your trip than the professionals who are based there?
Better value for your money
Evaneos gives you exclusive access to local prices by putting you directly in contact with on-the-ground travel experts. We take our commission from our local agents, not our travelers, which means you don't pay extra for your trip while benefiting from Evaneos' safety and security guarantees.
Fair distribution of revenue
Travelers tend to visit the same top five destinations of a country as everyone else. Often, the same suppliers are used, resulting in an unfair distribution of wealth for lesser-known regions and overlooked local guides. Evaneos' local agents work with high-quality alternatives to the "big red bus" and revenue stays in the hands of the locals.
Less environmental impact
Large volumes of visitors are overcrowding national parks, and a lack of respect toward native flora and fauna is damaging delicate ecosystems. Our local agents are here to combat these issues with an alternative to these natural wonders and educate potential visitors on the appropriate steps to lessen their footprint during their visit.
The path less traveled
One of the most exciting parts of travel is getting a little lost! The term 'off the beaten path' usually conjures images of magical landscapes void of people. It's a lovely idea, but often challenging to execute on your own. Fortunately, our local agents are experts in leading you down those unmarked paths on a journey to exciting locations that are often just as spectacular as the overcrowded places.
Reviews from our travelers
Review what our travelers say about us
We loved the snorkeling and hiking trip to Plaza Sur Island. We also really enjoyed the trip to see the giant tortoises in the highlands. We had a lot of fun swimming and snorkeling on Isabela during our day off.
We spent nearly a month traveling from Queenstown to Auckland, switching from coast to coast. Every accommodation was exceptional and nearly every host enriched our experience by introducing us to friends in the local community, as well as to other guests. We took boat trips, helicopter trips, train rides, explored caves and vineyards, and wandered in lovely cities. We never had a bad meal or met with an unpleasant experience. Thank you to our trip planners and to New Zealand!
