If you’re looking for a commercial cooking class to learn how to make Pad Thai, this is not for you. I say that this tour is so much more than a cooking class because it’s equal parts culture and cooking; understanding their family history and traditions, and working alongside them to prepare a meal. The day begins with a tour of this family's property - the traditional Lanna teak house, the expansive organic gardens - and explains their Lanna culture, traditions, and religious practices along the way.
Getting a tour of the beautiful organic gardens. We picked herbs and spices along the way for our cooking. (Jenna Fedyschyn)
Once we start preparing the food and cooking outside on wood-burning fire, it was clear that this would not be a meal to forget. Homemade curry paste, garlic, soy & fish sauce, pork, chicken, green eggplant, Thai basil, bananas in homemade coconut milk - I’m telling you, this meal was a total dream.

The final spread - everything was so incredibly delicious! (Jenna Fedyschyn)
Don’t worry, you can control the level of spice, and they can make everything vegetarian upon request.
This will be the third trip I have arranged with Adventure Life and I find their customer service and helpfulness to be excellent. Sandra has been very knowledgeable in describing the details of the planned trip as well as the signing up process for the trip. I have and will continue to recommend Adventure Life as the best tour vendor I have had the pleasure to work with. Thank you for your continued excellence.

I don’t have the words to describe it but the last week has been one of the best I can remember. 6 days of adventure in South East Alaska including trekking through lush rain forest, sitting in silence listening to glaciers calving, up early to see the northern lights, kayaking and stupidly swimming in iceberg frozen waters ! (That actually hurt).
Animal sightings including black and brown bears, Minke and hundreds of Humpack Whales, porpoises, sea lions, mountain goats, harbour seals, bald eagles, salmon and more birds than I can count. Wonderful friends and connections made. A huge shout out to Trevor and his totally amazing crew on the Admiralty Dream whose energy and enthusiasm made this most incredible experience.

Excellent safari trip with Adventure Life and Albatross Travel. Special shout out to our guides Eric Turasha (Kenya), and Blasi Shirima (Tanzania) from Albatross Travel. Both were world class!!! The trip went off without a hitch; all the camps were amazing…worth mentioning...one of the camps we were going to stay in on the Tanzanian side was damaged by high winds so we ended up in a different camp (Mara under Canvas Camp). Can't say enough good things! A great experience and superb service!!
