Corporate Social Responsibility
In 2008, Careli Tours reevaluated its community outreach efforts to ensure they aligned with the company’s goals, especially in education and conservation. Collaborating with environmentalist Dr. Incer Barquero's NGO, Fondo Natura, and supported by Maria Isabel Canton, the general manager of Hotel Plaza Colon, Careli launched the Eco-Escuela project. The initiative, which began in 2009, provided year-round lessons on environmental conservation to students at the Pedro Joaquin Chamorro School near Lake Nicaragua. After two years of sponsorship, the program continued to thrive. In 2013, Eco-Escuela expanded to the larger Carlos A. Bravos Elementary School in Granada, impacting 1,000 students and 50 teachers.

Further, they are proactively committed to doing business with a clear focus on sustainability and assure that the services provided to customers are backed up by a solidly sustainable process to prevent environmental damage and honor social responsibility principles. Careli lives up to the expectations to operate in a sustainably responsible way.
In May 2007, Careli Tours signed an agreement with Rainforest Alliance, prepared under their strict guidelines, to advance and improve environmental, economic, and socio-cultural business practices in the Nicaraguan tourism industry.
In December 2010, Rainforest Alliance completed its evaluation of more than 400 items on the list of sustainable points for operations. Careli’s approval score was 89%. In July 2015, Careli became fully certified by Rainforest Alliance!
We are so glad that we chose Adventure Life. The service is top-notch. Everything is well taken care of and we just have to print the documents and go. Franny even gave us timely updates on possible airport strike.

The persons I spoke with knew the material. I wont know until I actually take the trip if it was all correct but at this point they were helpful in finding a trip that met my criteria

Creating a checklist was very beneficial and meeting objectives on certain dates helped as well (to keep my trip organized). The Adventure Travel personnel helped keep me on track which is why my trip was so successful. Communication from both travel agencies (AT/MT) was vital.

This is an amazing company to work with. I generally do not use tour companies as I am more of an independent traveller so I was slightly reticent. They were fantastic from the start - 10/10 - from lining up a phone call to discuss requirements, then their ongoing communication in the lead up to the tour and during it (thank you, Franny and Phen). They also explored cost-effective options (eg group transfers). The tour was in Patagonia so Adventure Life organised a pickup from the El Calafate airport to the El Chalten accommodation, two day hikes with a private guide and then to the El Calafate accommodation. A tour coordinator came to the hotel to explain, using the maps, what was involved in each day tour and what should be expected, and patiently answered all questions. The tour guide Marcos was excellent - very professional, knowledgable, communicative and at all times felt very safe with his navigational skills (important in the Patagonian wilderness). On the second day I forgot to take hiking poles so Marcos kindly gave me his. I honestly wouldn't have changed a thing and would happily recommend and book through them again.

Adventure Life has been great throughout my planning process for our up and coming Galapagos cruise. Kevin Moore, in particular, was very helpful in assisting me in making choices and providing me with options. He was also very patient, as I worked through figuring out what I really wanted in this vacation.

Adventure Life was a pleasure to work with. They helped us find different options for our charter and answered a lot of questions with patience and clarity.
