El Cafetel Organic Coffee Plantation tour and Millenium
After breakfast at Miconia, included with the room, we met Asuzanna for a tour of El Cafetel coffee plantation. I had worked here during my 10 weeks as a Volunteer teaching English so wanted the group to experience this plantation.
The tour was well planned and headed by the head of the plantation, including coffee and fruit after seeing the way coffee is grown in the Galapagos. The Biodigestor was no longer in service and the mulch we worked at creating was also not being done but still a great tour.
At 12 noon we met Jaime, our guide on Millenium and went onboard for lunch. He had planned an afternoon tour of the Galapaguera, which we had taken the day before, so he an one person who missed this trip, went and two of us toured the Frigate Bird Hill (Cerro Tijeratas) and Interpretation Center. Someone has stolen the finch off the shoulder of the Darwin Statue at the overlook of the bay. But all the other animals are there with Darwin.
Back aboard Millenium we had welcome aboard cocktails, crew introductions and dinner. Jaime explained our cruise itinerary. We would not see two of my favorite Islands - Fernandina with the flightless cormorants or Genovesa with the redfooted boobies. I asked about going to Punta Pitt where I had seen all three; Nasca, Bluefooted and Redfooted boobies, but was told no.
Kevin got right on our request and had us booked within the week

The info on the website was laid out very well. I did some comparisons with other tours and found Adventure Life met a lot of what I wanted in an Antarctica trip at the cheapest price. Requested a quote on Claudia contacted me right away. She answered a lot of questions the I had via email even though she offered to discuss via phone call. I’m more of an email person so appreciated how she accommodated that and answered all my questions. And when I was ready to book, she quickly got the ball rolling with getting our spots reserved on the trip my friend and I wanted. Thanks again, Claudia!

(1) great information on the website and throughout all the "materials." (2) Jane Packer is great: knowledgeable, responsive, takes a personal interest and tone, seems to care about the customer as a person not a sale.

For our first trip to Costa Rica, Adventure Life designed a tour that meets the interests, ecological and adventure, of our party; but also takes into account our physical limitations sine we are all septuagenarian. We are looking forward to the trip.
