Our trip to the Galapagos was amazing. Our guide Milton was great and took really great care of us. He was really good at assessing what activities might be difficult based on fitness level, warning us ahead of time and having alternatives for those who needed them. The crew on the Eden were all friendly and took great care of us. Overall, a wonderful trip.

This was the best introduction to Costa Rica and everything it has to offer travellers. A perfect blend of active and comfort, we had the option to be as adventurous (or not) as we wanted. Everything was well thought out and planned; a true "wellness" trip where we felt like we were living the best versions of ourselves. The flavours, hospitality and the good nature of the "pura vida" was with us from the moment we landed, and will be with us for a long time afterwards.

The trip was well rounded with as much (or little) action as you like and I loved all of it. The group was great and we had a lot of fun together. Our CEO was very knowledgeable and fun to be around. I would recommend it to everyone who is looking for a couple of active weeks in Costa Rica!

I had a great time with Gadventures trip to Peru and Boliva. I highly recommend Gadventures, National Geographic small group trips. I believe these trips offer special insight into the local cultures.

It was exhilarating, exhausting, and so educational. I accomplished all of my goals for visiting the islands. I wish I had been in better shape and able to enjoy all of the activities.
