The shuttle to the airport was scheduled for 6am. We were packed and ready to go. We were soon checked in and at the gate. Everything was going smoothly when the flight to Ushuaia was delayed. We could only wait until the flight was called. After landing in Ushuaia, we were picked up by a shuttle driver and taken to the hotel. He would come back later, (allowing us to get checked in and get a bite to eat), for the city tour that was scheduled for the afternoon. The city tour was interesting. Our guide showed us parts of the town not ordinarily seen or understood by tourists. We were shown houses built on platforms, so if the house needed to be moved to another property it could easily be done. Houses are also built with unusual materials. Our guide explained, that in the 1990's, Argentina made a push for people to relocate to Ushuaia, giving them tax breaks. Housing has become scarce and some houses are built on public property. We were also taken to vantage points and shown panoramic views of the city. After the tour, we were let off on the main street, Ave San Martin. We sampled some Patagonia beer before having dinner at La Cantina Fueguina de Freddy, where we had king crab. In the window is a large tank of fresh king crab. You choose the crab for your dinner, and it is then prepared and presented to you. I could not pass that up.
The agent had great response to questions and coordinated well to create an itinerary that met our expectations.

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.
