Adventure Life Reviews and Testimonials

I wish all my trips would be like this one.Looking forward to next one!

The trip was everything and more than what I expected. The accommodations were excellent at every stop from our landing in Johannesburg to when we departed to Cape Town. The Airline arrangements, especially those getting from Johannesburg to Victoria Falls and the different safari camps went seamlessly. Our Guide at Linyanti, our first camp, was excellent. BK was a wealth of knowledge and shared it with us throughout the daily safaris. I have had guides on other foreign travel excursions and I would rate him at the top. The staff and accommodations at both this camp and Vumbura Plains were excellent. Our trip planner made the recommendation regarding the camps where we would see the most animals and we were not disappointed. The food at both camps was excellent and offered a variety of choice. I enjoyed trying the traditional cuisine which was very good and made the experience more special.

This trip was fabulous! From the meticulous attention to trip planning from the staff, to the excellent guides in Cusco and Puerto Maldonado.... Not a detail went ignored. From excellent drivers to lovely lodging to all ticketing being planned. But of course, the guides made the difference. Abel and Jhon are both knowledgeable, caring, creative, patient, funny, and so very eager to please. They are tremendous ambassadors for Adventure Life, and for Peru.

Thank you so much for making a wonderful and memorable trip happen for us.

I cannot rave enough about this trip! Everything, from the trip planning, to the ship, the food, and the guides was far better than I expected! 10/10 - I will recommend this to everyone.

Overall, our trip was everything we hoped for - excellent!

Everything was top notch from the early planning to the recommended packing list to all of the activities and tours in Costa Rica.

Jeff and Waru at Adventure Life were amazing to work with.

This trip was absolutely amazing! Perfectly organized, full of the activities we wanted and super fun!

First, I am extremely thankful to the Rhenee & Clara (at Adventure Life) for guiding us through the process and keeping the seat on hold for us since there was a delay in our payment. Now, coming to the cruise, it was just perfect. The ship was beautiful, luxurious and extremely good. The staff were the best! House keeping were amazing, really worked hard to keep us comfortable. The staff in the kitchen were super friendly, funny and knowledgeable. Considering I am a Vegetarian, I had to depend on the staff for food items that are Vegetarian and everyone was quite accommodating and helpful. The Expedition crew was amazing, knowledgeable, super friendly and warm. Thanks Clara & Rhenee, you are the best

This was a trip of a lifetime that met or exceeded our expectations in every way. Erin and Michelle were an unbeatable team. Fantastic to work with. Five stars to these two women.

Our trip was over the top. Everything was easy and on time. Excellent guides and our trip could not have been better. I’m so glad I hired your company!

Experiencing Antarctica aboard the Magellan Explorer was simply amazing, beyond my expectations in every way. The ship was beautiful, my room was very nice (I was not expecting the heated floor and towel rack in my bathroom), the food was fantastic and the hotel and expedition staff were simply incredible.

The trip to the Chilean Lake District was very well planned by Erin and wonderful. The excursions were excellent. Manuela, my guide, was very professional and knowledgeable about the history and had an excellent knowledge of the flora and fauna! She even knew the Latin names of all the plants and birds around. Mirson is a fantastic driver, and I felt safe the entire time.

Antarctica is an amazing & beautiful place. The expedition team members are experts in so many areas & have a true passion of this a region. To get the most out of the experience I suggest reading books about the early polar explorers. It will only enrich the experience. The Aurora ship has all the luxury & conveniences you would want from a small ship. The ship is warm & comfortable & the outside air is cold, so dress accordingly. The captain is always looking out for foul weather & adjusting the course to avoid such conditions (mainly the Drake crossing). This was my second passage & wasn't disappointed in the least. This year I signed up for the snorkeling option & suited up 5 times. Kassandra is great at listening to me & what I am interest in, plus has plenty of her own life experiences to reference from. Nur did a great job of making sure all the details were being taken care of.

Amazing! The first part of our trip, we were the only American tourists. The second part of our trip, we were the only foreigners at all anywhere around! It was a fabulous experience, and unique.

I've been on several amazing trips but none of them come close to this one! Every day was amazing, each day was so great that I would think it can't get better than this and then next day was even better. The excursions were the best part, being in Antarctica up close to nature was incredible, we saw so much wildlife up close, some of my favorites were the whales. The whales swam up to our zodiacs on multiple occasions, they were so close and curious we could see their whole bodies and feel them exhale. The shore excursions were wonderful, there was always an opportunity to walk around and make it as easy or challenging of a walk as you wanted it to be. One of my highlights was when we walked up a hill to a penguin colony and it was snowing and we were watching whales in the distance. The ship was wonderful, every space was comfortable, the food was excellent and I am still so impressed that they were able to make incredible meals at sea on a moving and sometimes rocking boat. Everyone who worked at Antarctica 21 was great, they went out of their way to make sure everyone had what they needed and had a great experience. I also really enjoyed the lectures they gave, they made it fun to learn about subjects they were knowledgeable and passionate about.

Chern was proactive and so helpful! Would recommend her to everyone.

Trip was phenomenal! No complaints at all! My absolute highlight of the trip was the expedition staff - they were so passionate and fun and engaged!! They made the trip for me… especially Sofi and Fede, who were our kayak guides. Accommodations were fantastic, meals were great, and dining staff was so sweet, accommodating and fun! Pablo was the absolute best expedition leader ever!

The trip exceeded my expectations. Here's why. During the downtime, like traveling through Drake Passage, they provide many informative presentations on a variety of topics. The ship is very modern and well designed for such an expedition. The food and service on the ship are excellent! The excursions are well-designed and flexible due to changing weather conditions. The guides were all top notch and very knowledgeable in their respective fields of expertise. The small ship experience enables one to connect with most of the passengers in a personal way, especially during the presentations and the open seating dining structure. Lastly, this boat has a number of different room sharing options for solo travelers which made it perfect for me and other single travelers on the expedition. Christina M. was my first contact and what I really liked about her is that she had traveled to Antarctica previously. Generally, I book all things on my own, but this was just too large (expensive and logistical), so her personal experience was a great touch! Then, I was handed off to Arvin, in a very smooth transition. His attention to detail was excellent! We did several call/e-mails and he recapped everything perfectly which kept my trip on track.
