This morning the sky was overcast as we went out in the boat. Our guide, Chobo, was a young native who grew up there and he could dive and swim like the fish. He was quite the cut up and he took us out to Shark Ray Alley and Hol Chan Marine Reserve. Chobo would dive and bring up a manta ray for us to touch. There were nurse sharks all around our boat.
Our group consisted of Sarah and myself and the other two girls who were on the same trip. We had so much fun just getting ready to go into the water. The girl from D. C. (the one who had never ridden a horse) did not know how to swim. I thought she was very brave to try this. Chobo hooked a strap from him to her and we all wore life jackets so all was well. Sarah had problems with her first mask (remember her horse problems) and she finally got fitted properly. This was my first time to snorkel and was not sure what to expect, but I felt so free swimming underwater and seeing the wonders of the ocean. I was mesmerized by the beauty under the water's surface. There were so many colors and so many different kinds of fish. I loved snorkeling and made a mental note to go again someday. (I snorkeled again on the Riviera Maya three years later)
After several hours of snorkeling, we climbed into the boat and headed back to the dock. About five miles out, a rain shower hit and we were drenched by the time we docked, but we all agreed it had been a great afternoon. We had to leave for home the next day so we walked around the town some more soaking up as much of the atmosphere as we could. I was wishing I could stay for a few more days. What a wonderful place.
The agent had great response to questions and coordinated well to create an itinerary that met our expectations.

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.
