Last Hope FjordLast night we stayed at the Refugio Paine Grande. This nestled below the back aspect of Paine Grande and across from Lago Pehoe. When I took off my boots last night I saw why I had been in so much pain. Inflammation and infection of my toenails was so bad I was unable to participate in today's hike, ironically probably the easiest one of the week. It included a boat ride to the base of Grey Glacier. Another reminder to appreciate these activities while we can. Sarah, another hiker in the group was also unable to hike today. I was sorry for her, but appreciated her excellent company.
So we saw the rest of the group off for the left leg of the W then later boarded the catamaran across Lago Pehoe. This was a scenic alternative that enabled us to meet the rest of the group after completing their trip across Lago Grey. We could see the glacier in the distance at the far end of the lake. Large icebergs floated nearby. Small remnants of ice reached the pebbly beach. One wondered how long ago the ice of these intricately-shaped fragments had been formed deep in the glacier. Everyone jokingly said that we hadn't missed much.
That evening we were back at EcoCamp for the final 2 nights.
We were referred by a satisfied client and the booking of the trip was everything we wanted to do, and they listened to the types of hotels, sightseeing, etc. we wanted to do.

Rapa Nui was on my bucket list for a long time so I worried that it would not meet my expectations. Our tour could not have been better. Our guide was knowledgeable and professional with an understanding of the island that made it come alive. I would and have recommended this trip to everyone that will listen.

Mary Curry is the BEST! I have worked with her for multiple family trips for over 10 years, and she is responsive, works within your preferences and budget, has great suggestions and has personal travel experience at many of the locations. We prefer active family vacations and Adventure Life and Mary Curry make sure that is what we get!

My tour operator was helpful. Unfortunately she was unable to get my single-supplement canceled. Not too many tours charge for that anymore and I almost canceled my trip because of that.

Excellent communication and coordination for our proposed trip. It couldn't have been smoother, and any question we did have was rapidly addressed. It has made the whole process nearly seamless.
