A boat trip through this spectacular coastline is a must! We swam in crystal clear warm seas, anchored in small villages, ate at some wonderful restaurants eating fresh fish and lazed around. If you want a relaxing journey- this is it! We had only 6 people onboard which was nice. You make make a food kitty and buy groceries the first night to feed yourselfs for breakfast, lunch and snacks- in hindsight, I would have brought some food to share from Split where the store has more options- you can always get fresh bread in the ports for sandwiches. All in all- a great trip!

For a traveler on a budget this is ideal. A week in the Ecuadoran highlands, exploring volcanoes, cloud forest and local communities followed by a week in The Galápagos.
Our land based island tour gave us freedom of movement within the itinerary, allowed for personal exploration, choices of restaurants and shopping opportunities. We met giant tortoises, some wandering freely, others in breeding centres. We walked to the top of the caldera of the Sierra Negra volcano on Isabella. There were snorkelling trips with colourful fishes and a walk round North Seymour Island where frigate birds were displaying and baby boobies were fledging. Yellow land iguanas, black sea iguanas and SallyLightfoot crabs were plentiful too.
Back on the main islands, sea lions were snoozing on the pavements by the harbour, pelicans and lava herons were catching tidbits from the local fishermen cleaning their catch.
It was wonderful!
We saw all the wildlife on the Galapagos list for October, except the flightless cormorant. If you are a specialist looking for differences between species on different islands, then cruising may be better. However for the non- biologists this trip ticked all the boxes. It was 😊 GREAT👍

What an amazing experience. From the start of our tour, all the way to the last minute, every activity was worth every moment and my only wish is that it could have lasted longer. Amazing to see how many animals are still roaming around - what an incredibly time.
This was an unforgettable gorillas trekking adventure with my dad in Bwindi Impenetrable forest with Christopher who works for this local travel specialist. Nicholas did a terrific job with the booking; permits, transport and accommodations all went smoothly. The tough 4 hours trek up the mountain was rewarded with amazing close sighting of the magnificent apes. Christopher was very helpful and great company during the whole trip from Kigali to Bwindi and back. We are very impressed with the whole experience with this travel expert. They are professionals and really know their stuff.
Similar to our "Realm of the Polar Bear" tour, but with three additional days of exploring. Scour the ice and tundra in search of the elusive polar bear and encounter even more icebergs, glaciers, and unique wildlife than you ever thought possible on this 11-day expedition. Search for lounging seals, grazing reindeer, and colonies of birds under the midnight sun.
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.
The endless plains of East Africa are the setting of the World’s greatest spectacle-the pounding of over 6 million hooves! From the vast Serengeti plains to the Champagne coloured hills of Kenya’s Masai Mara.
Over 1 million wildebeest, 300,000 Thompson gazelles and some 200,000 zebras relentlessly tracked by Africa’s greatest predators, migrate in a clockwise fashion over 1,800 miles each year in search of green pastures (July-October to Kenya & December to March to Tanzania’s Serengeti)
The Maasai Mara is especially famous for its large cat population and also the fact that it plays an integral role in the Wildebeest Migration, a wildlife spectacular like none other on earth.
The scenic and wildlife adventure of this short Maasai Mara Camping Safari ends back in Nairobi on the last day.
Unrivalled, the staff, the group, the trek and the destination were all amazing. The chefs and their food as well were incredible, you felt very taken care of!
An absolutely amazing trip that surpassed all expectations. The cabin was bigger than expected, the food great, the wildlife plentiful and close, the crew were friendly, organisation was superb and there was so much to do I didn't even get to read my book!
The Westbound Canadian Rockies tour was amazing and beyond anything I ever expected. The guide, locations, activities, sights between destinations, accommodations, logistics, and group dynamics were all spot on.
For any other first timers, please know that you don't necessarily need to plan your own transport to the optional activities. If several of the group are interested, the guide will take those who are interested.
