To begin with: everything you have heard about Las Islas Galápagos is true. There will be tortoises. You will see piles of iguanas. You will be surrounded by sea lions. You might even get to see the mating dance of the Blue Footed Booby (I did not). The landscape will be weird and varied, and the scenery spectacular. However, no amount of guidebook reading, Operations Coordinator convincing, or World Wide Web scouring will prepare you for what’s coming: you’ll forget it all the moment a baby sea lion stares you in the face and scoots ever closer. The island you’re currently exploring will not matter nearly as much as the encounters you find there, and the different species of finch will blur together as you desperately try to out-photograph your neighbor in the quest to win the ship’s photo contest. I found myself throwing everything I knew about the islands to the wind (figuratively, of course, littering is strictly prohibited) and giving in to the rare and strange characteristics of the archipelago. In the end, none of it mattered. I was in the Galapagos. That in itself was all the spectacular I needed.
Kevin got right on our request and had us booked within the week

The info on the website was laid out very well. I did some comparisons with other tours and found Adventure Life met a lot of what I wanted in an Antarctica trip at the cheapest price. Requested a quote on Claudia contacted me right away. She answered a lot of questions the I had via email even though she offered to discuss via phone call. I’m more of an email person so appreciated how she accommodated that and answered all my questions. And when I was ready to book, she quickly got the ball rolling with getting our spots reserved on the trip my friend and I wanted. Thanks again, Claudia!

(1) great information on the website and throughout all the "materials." (2) Jane Packer is great: knowledgeable, responsive, takes a personal interest and tone, seems to care about the customer as a person not a sale.

For our first trip to Costa Rica, Adventure Life designed a tour that meets the interests, ecological and adventure, of our party; but also takes into account our physical limitations sine we are all septuagenarian. We are looking forward to the trip.
