We had booked a split-tour at Turneffe Flats, so we were going to do the Atoll Adventure package for the first few days and then fish for the latter half of the week. Today we were heading out with Abel, the atoll guide. We were with two other guests for the day, and headed out to our first snorkel spot. On the way, we came across a pod of dolphins playing in the wake from our boat. The water was a bit rough, but we snorkeled for nearly an hour, seeing more underwater wildlife than I had ever seen! There were several types of rays, fish, starfish, crabs, and beautiful corals of all kinds. We were all starting to get cold and so we got back in the boat, and headed across the entire atoll back to the west side to one of Abel's favorite snorkel spots. The reef here was INCREDIBLE! I cannot believe how much wildlife we saw. Really no way to describe it in words, but I could have snorkeled here for hours. The currents were a little stronger here and after an hour or so, we were all pretty cold so we went back in the boat and explored around through the mangroves on our way back to the lodge. We looking for manatee but no luck. Instead, we saw lots of birds. The mangroves were like a giant maze, and somehow Abel always knew exactly where we were. We got back to the lodge, had some sort of tropical drink and relaxed by the pool until dinner. The fisherman and divers all came back and we all shared our stories over dinner.
Kelly and Rhenee were excellent to work with on planning our trip. The logistics all worked smoothly and everyone was friendly and on time. Our accommodations were very good, particularly the incredible Patagonia Camp in Torres del Paine! Our guides on every excursion were outstanding and made the hikes memorable! Overall we had a wonderful trip with incredible memories!

Adventure Life is definitely a first-class safari tour company, and our representative was Franny Friesz. First of all, she responded immediately after we contacted Adventure Life. We told Franny that we had never been on a safari, and she was more than eager to offer a mountain of information about the trip. She informed us fully about all the ups, downs, and all arounds! She even prepared a number of packages for us to review -- even after we made changes to the areas we wanted to explore. Friendly, helpful, professional, and extremely knowledgeable -- these words describe Franny, and what a wonderful trip she prepared! We couldn't have asked for better service than Franny of Adventure Life. We HIGHLY recommend her and her outstanding company! Bon Voyage!

The staff at Adventure Life made planning my family's trip to the Galapagos Islands as easy as possible. They listened to what we were hoping to experience and made thoughtful suggestions about how to accomplish our vacation goals while meeting the needs of travelers ages 17-76! They patiently answered questions and follow up questions in the months leading up to the trip. They helped us trouble shoot and customize the trip in every way possible. The logistics involved in traveling from Boston to the Galapagos are innumerable. The Adventure Life staff helped us arrange every detail and the team they assembled in the Galapagos was tremendous. I have never done a trip this big before and after working with Adventure Life this time--would not hesitate one second in working with them again.
