After the early morning, long travel days and stressful hours of work prior to the trip, we take this morning to sleep in. It feels so good to be on vacation and to have a leisurely morning.
Being in our first port, we are eager to explore the island. Little did we know that our “exploring” would be mainly looking at closed attractions. Locals take to heart “a day of rest”.
We do manage to find an old fort on a hill. There is not much information about the fortress but the view from atop the hill are beautiful.
The rest of the afternoon, we walk around only to find that most of the shops are closed. So we head back to the boat to relax and play cards.
We enjoy our second dinner onboard. The dinners are amazing. It is like having a date night with my husband every night. We drag dinner out as long as we can and we still manage to find things to talk about. It is so nice to spend time with my best friend!
Kelly and Rhenee were excellent to work with on planning our trip. The logistics all worked smoothly and everyone was friendly and on time. Our accommodations were very good, particularly the incredible Patagonia Camp in Torres del Paine! Our guides on every excursion were outstanding and made the hikes memorable! Overall we had a wonderful trip with incredible memories!

Adventure Life is definitely a first-class safari tour company, and our representative was Franny Friesz. First of all, she responded immediately after we contacted Adventure Life. We told Franny that we had never been on a safari, and she was more than eager to offer a mountain of information about the trip. She informed us fully about all the ups, downs, and all arounds! She even prepared a number of packages for us to review -- even after we made changes to the areas we wanted to explore. Friendly, helpful, professional, and extremely knowledgeable -- these words describe Franny, and what a wonderful trip she prepared! We couldn't have asked for better service than Franny of Adventure Life. We HIGHLY recommend her and her outstanding company! Bon Voyage!

The staff at Adventure Life made planning my family's trip to the Galapagos Islands as easy as possible. They listened to what we were hoping to experience and made thoughtful suggestions about how to accomplish our vacation goals while meeting the needs of travelers ages 17-76! They patiently answered questions and follow up questions in the months leading up to the trip. They helped us trouble shoot and customize the trip in every way possible. The logistics involved in traveling from Boston to the Galapagos are innumerable. The Adventure Life staff helped us arrange every detail and the team they assembled in the Galapagos was tremendous. I have never done a trip this big before and after working with Adventure Life this time--would not hesitate one second in working with them again.
