The impetus for this trip was actually a tourism conference sponsored by the Nicaraguan Tourism Board. It was a wonderful opportunity for me to meet the folks in our local office on the ground, and do a tour with them, but also to explore some of the ever expanding options for hotels and resorts throughout the country.
Nicaragua (Jessica Liles)
Nicaragua is still in its early stages as a tourist destination that can really be accessible to anyone. It maintains its authenticity while offering the comfort that many of us are looking for on vacation. It feels the way Costa Rica must have felt 20 years ago. It is still rough around the edges, but with money being poured into the tourist industry there is plenty to choose from in terms of accommodations and activities. An out of the way fishing lodge hidden on the Caribbean. A five star golf course resort. A funky little surfers paradise. All inclusive adventure lodges. You can find just about whatever floats your boat.
The beauty is that you'll find it surrounded by something that feels truly authentic. Right now Nicaragua is the place where you can have your comfort and experience something unique all at the same time.
Excellent travel advice and service
This is my second experience working with Adventure Life. I’m sold. Jess Heuermann is an experienced traveler and provides a lot of useful information when planning a trip. These are the questions I like to ask at the outset - What’s it like to go here, there, what would you suggest, what do people report, can we add any additional side trips? Jess took the time to answer my questions and seek additional information to share with me. Petchie Colina is outstanding in helping with travel logistics and final preparations. Adventure Life has excellent guides and offers private guides and small group adventures. We enjoyed the opportunity to talk with the guides and drivers to learn more about their countries, cultures and histories. A highlight was having the guides pick local restaurants where we could share meals together. Highly recommend.

Our six-day tour in Iceland went smoothly with one exception. We had asked for two rooms each night. Somehow we were booked with one room with three beds. It could not be fixed at the first hotel in Reykjavik because the hotel was fully booked. Once informed of the problem, however, Adventure Life rebooked for two rooms for the remainder of the trip. As an 85-year-old traveler, I appreciated that one could participate at different physical levels at many of the stops. Iceland is a great place to visit but on the expensive side.

Jess was very easy going and answered all our questions. It’s not easy dealing with 6 people at once but she did an outstanding job!

Kassandra and the Adventure Life team have been incredible! Kassandra was very knowledgeable and attentive to our asks while making sure we kept within our budget. This was our first experience with a travel agent and we were blown away by the booking/initial exploration service. We will use Adventure Life again.
