Galápagos – West and Central Islands aboard the Reina Silvia Voyager

(4 reviews )

No booking fees

Best price guaranteed

The western islands itinerary in the Galapagos aboard the Reina Silvia with Omar Medina as our guide was one of the best trips I've taken, in more than 50 countries over the past 25 years. We saw incredible wildlife - at least 1 or 2 new species each day! - and spectacular landscapes, and we really had time to explore in different ways and take it all in. Omar and the crew of the Reina Silvia took such good care of us in every way and made our adventure safe, fun and memorable. Our group of 16 was fantastic - we've made some true friends, and are already making plans to see each other again. I can't recommend this trip highly enough... just wish there was an option for smaller meal portions (for those of us who are smaller people), since I felt bad wasting such delicious food. The trip was epic, and I'd do it again in a heartbeat!

Great way to see Bolivia, Chile and Argentina. The Bolivian Salt Flats were an unexpected highlight. So beautiful. Patagonia was also stunning. I really enjoyed understanding the lives of the indigenous people. Thank you.

Trip of a lifetime to see eager animals up close. Our guide Milton made sure we were intimately familiar with all of them by the end of our voyage. The food, crew, boat, guide, weather, and animals couldn’t be any better.

Variety of food could have been more varied, smash at every meal and the same green salad. but the food was all well prepared and tasty. i liked the trip very much and would recommend it. the pre trip info pack needs review it offer inaccurate and out of date information.

Antarctica Classic

From the first to the last second, the expedition was not only carried out very professionally, but also with a great deal of passion and a remarkable mixture of excellent planning and flexibility depending on the environmental conditions. You could tell from the entire team and crew — each highly competent in their respective fields — how committed they are to their job, but also to Antarctica as a unique and most beautiful corner of the planet. Safety and environmental protection were taken seriously, at the same time there was always a lot of fun and a lot to learn (and a lot to eat & drink) on board. All in all, a breathtaking experience.

Phones charged and playlists queued — this 27-day journey is a full-on adventure through Central and South America that’s packed with wild nature, laid-back beach towns, and buzzing cities.

Wander Cartagena’s colourful old town, trek through jungle trails to waterfalls in Minca, kick back in Santa Marta, and finish strong in Medellín with mountaintop views and a nightlife scene to match.
