Patagonia Explorer Trips

Egan was fantastic. Crew were excellent. Food was unbelievably delicious and plentiful Cabins comfortable Boat spotless. Loved the snorkelling - sharks, turtles, dolphins. Only small criticism is we didn't see much maldivian culture. I would have liked lunch in a local home or a local dance class or similar

Loved this trip. A fantastic trip for birders. I am not one but like wildlife generally and enjoyed the birds with pelicans of two species, flamingos and a grey heron plus all the others being memorable. Assan our guide could identify a speck in the distance before we could even see it! Other aspects of the tour were also interesting and photogenic with the "oyster factory" and all the colourful fishing boats. Assan imparted a lot of information about both countries - the people and their history, shared languages and customs. The boat trip from Georgetown on the Gambia river was a good experience - very calm and relaxing. All the hotels were in a good position although occasionally showers were a dribble or cold and generally breakfasts were not inspiring although there were always eggs. The hotel with the best dinner had the worst breakfast! The food on the boat was good and I enjoyed local bread and peanut porridge neither of which reappeared elsewhere. Weather was great with blue sky every day and not excessive heat. Our last boat journey was 5 hours on a bench seat and we all got wet from spray. We endured but were relieved when we made it. Our driver Ousman, probably name misspelt, was very careful and avoided potholes, donkeys, goats etc. He was very friendly and helpful too. A few long journeys and not a trip for beach lovers or foodies. I would have welcomed another two night stay about two thirds of the way through. To summarise it was a great experience.

We covered a lot of ground in 18 days and it was amazing. Miquel was an attentive and knowledgeable guide. Our experience was a bit unique as it was just my husband and I. We loved the mix of cultural, food, wildlife and adventure activities. We took advantage of many of the optional activities because - well why not - we were there to see things! I would highly recommend this trip to anyone who wants to explore the 5 sister countries of Central America.

I hadn’t done an explore trip for a number of years but this trip reminded me why I love it so much. The trip was wonderful and the food on the boat was as amazing. Our guide was a great photographer and captured all the excitement from our daily snorkling and island hopping. Would recommend to anyone

This was a lovely, well-paced overview of Thailand with a great mix of historical and religious sites, shopping and experiences in/with nature. We were expecting the weather in January to be oppressively hot and humid but it was pleasant and in fact it was surprisingly cold at night when at the Homestay and in the Raft hotel. Thailand is an incredibly cheap country and dinners including drinks cost between 100-300 baht pp. To fully enjoy this trip you need to expect to climb lots of steps but it is well worth the effort. We were fortunate to have a fun group and a fantastic tour guide in Wit. Would highly recommend.

Fantastic site seeing places, covered all areas of importance at the correct time of year for each. Trip guide Nicole was extremely knowledgeable and our bus driver Jaka was fantastic & kept us safe. I’d be concerned for people who will need to catch public transport within Europe and london.
