The free time before our ocean kayak expedition gave us the perfect opportunity to check out the ocean. We set off down the road, past all the surfing schools to find a spot to do a bit of body surfing. After finding a spot that fit the bill, off my guys went. Only one problem, it was a board surfing beach not a body surfing beach. Ah well, we walked down the beach a bit farther only to find this section of the beach was too dangerous due to rip tides. We decided to save our swimming plan for later and check out the local artisans and merchants on the way back.
Our kayak adventure at Marino Ballena National Park began with a short hike down a tree lined road to the launch location. As we neared the beach, we spotted a sloth up in the tree doing what they do best, sleeping. Just beyond his location we found the beach that eluded us this morning. We selected our kayaks and off we went. Our group was successful navigating the waves with no one capsizing. After a vigorous paddle, we arrived at the snorkeling spot. We slipped on our masks, slipped off our kayaks, and there below us, were countless brightly colored fish swimming around rock and coral formations. Being a huge snorkeling fan, it was fun to see some familiar brightly colored Moorish idols and parrot fish. It's amazing how one can lose track of time in the peaceful world under the sea. Before we knew it, it was time to paddle back. Paddling back to shore, we were treated to the view of the mountains in the distance as frigate birds floated on the currents and pelicans skimmed the ocean's surface. As we neared the shore, we were tired from our active day yet I know none of us were tired of snorkeling. The good news: tomorrow we had another day of snorkeling in another spectacular location!
A Mind Blowing Adventure!
Adventure Life kept me well informed and up to date in the lead up to my trip and Albatros delivered a once in a lifetime adventure in full. A totally awesome experience from start to finish.

Jane Packer helped us through the cancellation of our trip due to American Queen Voyages bankruptcy and then finding another cruise with American Cruise Lines.
Jane is very prompt in response, answers any questions, and makes good suggestions thereby making the process much easier!

Adventure Life did an excellent job of planning, organizing and executing a great trip to Argentina. It was nice to have the trip with just the two of us which allowed for a more personable tour with excellent tour guides in all four locations visited. We learned lots of details of the beautiful sites in BA, Mendoza,Baliloche and Iguazu Falls. We want to do another trip with Adventure Life some day.

Kassandra rocks! She had our trip planned and helped us arrange our air travel within the day we contacted her. She has helped us with our trips to Chile Argentina and Costa Rica, and she always finds us wonderful activities and accommodations. We’re looking forward to seeing what she’s planning for us this time when we go to Easter island
