Ecuador
EcoVentura
This small Ecuadorean cruise company is charting a new course for travel to Darwin’s famous islands. Not only was it one of the first to attain the Rainforest Alliance’s stringent Smart Voyager eco-certification, but it’s introduced initiatives to conserve the area’s biodiversity, funded university scholarships for local students, offset 100 percent of its carbon emissions, and, most recently, committed to converting its fleet to hybrid energy boats by 2015.
