Returning from Baja, I’ve been asked multiple times what the highlight of my trip was. While my instinctual answer is “WHALES!” there were several other memorable moments which are also worth mentioning. Rather than blog in great lengthy detail, I have decided to describe some of these moments in a lyrical fashion. While on board the Safari Endeavour, one of my fellow travelers re-wrote the lyrics to The Sound of Music’s “Favourite Things,” and then, on our last night following a farewell dinner, we sang it to the captain and his crew. The following is a true account of our favourite things:
Sea of Cortes on Safari Endeavour / Old friends and new friends and tropical weather / Whale watching, snorkeling, happy hour drinks / These are a few of my favourite things.
Blue Footed Boobies and herons and osprey/ Sea hares and sea stars, and evening time daiquiri / Yoga at sunrise, massage when you're sore / Un-Cruise keeps constantly spoiling you more.
CHORUS: When the phone rings, when the text pings, Baja far away / I'll simply remember my days in the sun, and trouble will stay away.
Kayaking, hiking, and rides on a burro / Crew members caring, a tour or Loreto / All of these memories make our hearts sing / Thanks to the Un-Crew for all of these things.
CHORUS: When the phone rings, when the text pings, Baja far away / I'll simply remember my days in the sun, and trouble will stay away.
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.
