Enchanted Expeditions (formerly Angermeyer’s Enchanted Expeditions) is in its fourth decade of operating tours in Galapagos and mainland Ecuador. We have built a reputation for excellent service, our expertise and knowledge of all areas of Ecuador can be matched by few.  Enchanted Expeditions is the exclusive representative of our yachts Beluga and Cachalote I

Over thirty years ago while travelling around South America, Judy Carvalhal, the founder of Enchanted Expeditions, fell in love with Ecuador and the Galapagos Islands, settling thereafter.

Judy first worked as a naturalist guide in the Galapagos, gaining valuable experience in the tourism business, before moving on to operate her own yachts, and then progressed to form her own company, which has helped pioneer the modern tourist industry in the Galapagos and mainland Ecuador: Enchanted Expeditions.

In 1987, after more than ten years in the Islands, Judy moved to the Ecuadorian capital Quito, well placed for the hands on direction of the company.

An avid traveller; Judy has explored the length and breadth of Ecuador, and indeed much of the world, using her considerable knowledge and experience as a solid foundation for Enchanted Expeditions.

Judy’s partners Martin Schreyer, Sergio Bernardi and Wolfgang Boerchers joined the company about 20 years ago.  They contributed to the great success of Enchanted Expeditions.  Martin, a native of the Galapagos and expert seaman with an extensive knowledge of the islands and every aspect of a boat, is in charge of our Galapagos yacht operation.  Sergio brings with him years of experience as a naturalist/bird guide in the jungle and Wolfgang his experience in the highlands of Ecuador, working on water purification projects for indigenous communities and leading tours to the “off the beaten path”.
