Adventure Life Reviews and Testimonials

I just wanted to give a shout out whoever covers your emergency line. I had to contact her when my flight got delayed to let her know I would not be arriving in Buenos Aires in time it would be delayed by a couple hours. She was prompt to get a hold of Swan hellenic to let them know of my delay, and then called me back to let me know she had contacted them. Her actions eased my anxiety. And when we arrived in Buenos Aires, they were the people there to meet us just as we expected, they would be. Great job to the 24 hour emergency service line. This was New Year’s Eve.

I really appreciated the great communication from both Kevin and Mary Rose. Very thorough and timely.

The ship, M/V Sea Spirit was great - I liked the small size, and accessibility to a wrap-around deck on Level 4 to facilitate 360 degree views and exercise. The hotel & dining room staff were phenomenal in terms of service, learning our names and food and seating preferences, and providing all around out-standing service. I shared a triple room on level 3 and we found that the room was plenty spacious and comfortable for the 3 of us - it was the best option for comfort and affordability. The expedition staff were also excellent - very professional, knowledgeable, and skilled in their various areas of expertise. My initial email correspondence with Kevin was what cinched our commitment to work with Adventure Life. He responded promptly, answered my questions directly and did not try to "push" options that I specifically indicated that we were not interested in (in other words, he listened!).

This was a fantastic experience, truly the trip of a lifetime. The Galaxy boat was well maintained with a competent and friendly crew. The guide that we had was also highly knowledgeable and competent. I was impressed that pretty much every excursion (hiking, snorkeling, etc.) was distinctly different, and we saw and experienced an amazing array of wildlife, flora, and geology. Activities were spaced well with the right amount of downtime. Although expensive, the "small cruise boat" experience is such a superior way to see the Galapagos relative to land/air options that the extra expense is well worth it. I will say that the cruises are pretty tightly regulated, so that the variability between the different cruise lines and the sites they visit is probably modest. They all cycle through a government-specified set of locations with orchestrated schedules to minimize overlap at those sites. Although it is only infrequently that we take major foreign vacations, we like them to be active with hiking, biking, snorkeling, and so on. Adventure Life has always steered us to appropriate, high-quality trips that fit who we are, even as we moved from a highly active athletic young couple to middle-aged parents with a middle-schooler.

All our accommodations, travel, excursions and guides were wonderful, every thing was very well organized, we were well taken care of from start to the end of our trip. Thanks for all the pre- planning information, forms and follow up, this helped us prepare for our trip and feel connected with the travel arrangements.

Overall great experience working with both Franny and Phen. Both listened to our ideas and requests and did a great job coming up with an itinerary that accommodated us.

I cannot say enough about our local guide, Judith. She was fantastic! She and the driver were always on time picking us up. They both went above and beyond. The trip was great. The planning was great. Fantastic experience. Thank you.

Everything was wonderful! This has been one of my favorite trips!

Informative - timely - understanding - genuine care.

Overall the trip was fantastic - perfect location for us. An active vacation with just enough downtime. Definitely glad we used Adventure Life since I would not have ad the time to organize all of the activities and logistics - AL just made it seamless.

The Galapagos was all we had hoped for and it was fantastic to see as much of the islands and wildlife as we hoped to.

Everything was incredible, the crew, the activities, the food, the guides; everything.

Thank you for arranging the experiences that far exceeded our expectations.

This is the second time we have worked with Adventure Life. Erin helped me come up with a good itinerary based on our timing and interests. Michelle was fabulous with all of the details…and all of my questions. She is so thorough.

Fantastic trip! Galapagos is truly amazing, and living and exploring based on Archipel I worked really well. Janeth was a great guide, and the crew was also really good. The Yasuni national park is also fantastic! Our guide Hector was the best, and we got experiences none of us will ever forget.

Andres, Billy and Lula were excellent guides! The excursions were amazing. The Galapagos were incredibly beautiful and stunning. Everything was well organized. Carlos was an incredible leader and did everything to make our stay comfortable and successful.

Jesus was amazing. He was always happy and fun, eager to answer questions and take pictures all along the way. He’s a bushman, historian, photographer, party planner, food critic, and best bud all rolled into one. The level of attention he invested in our experience went above and beyond all expectations we had coming into the trip.

The Adventure Life staff were phenomenally helpful. We definitely would recommend AL to others.

This was the best trip we have ever taken! Everything was wonderful, the accommodations and especially our guide, Goudy. Very easy to plan and Kassandra and Maria did an outstanding job!

All of our guides were wonderful. We have nothing but good memories. We would go back and do it all again. We felt well prepared for our trip. We have relatives using Adventure Life because of our great experience.
