Adventure Life Reviews and Testimonials

Seeing the “Big Five” was amazing. Our guide, Joseph, worked extremely hard to see that our Safari goals were met. He worked with the guides to get us where we needed to be to view the cats, elephants, rinos, buffalos, etc. Absolutely beautiful.

Elma responded immediately to all our concerns even while we were traveling and everything worked out beautifully. We are so pleased.

Each day was great. Juan Carlos made the day perfect. He went out of his way to make sure we were happy and comfortable and were enjoying the excursion. Fernando and his wife at the hotel Alameda were terrific as well. They cooked us a special dinner just for us on the last night we were staying .

We really enjoyed our Cuba experience. La Boutique Hotel de la Alameda was welcoming, clean, and lovely. Fernando, the concierge, was particularly helpful and kind. He arranged an authentic Cuban dinner for us with his wife as chef. We can't say enough about our driver and guide Juan Carlos. He was knowledgeable about Cuban history and present issues--in fact he was well-read on most historical and current world affairs. He was also fun to be with. He had a wonderful sense of humor and our road trips were punctuated by much laughter. When we left, we said good-bye to him as a friend. Thank you so much for arranging this wonderful trip.

The guides and excursions were excellent. Our stateroom was spacious and very clean. The bed was extremely comfortable as well.

The excursions were very interesting. The guides were very knowledgeable and went out of their way to give help and provided informative backgrounds on the Japanese culture. We very much enjoyed being on a smaller ship and the crew was very attentive. We enjoyed the activities and were prepared for the walking.

It was a wonderful experience and certainly memorable. Perhaps the best part was our guide, Judith. She is certainly one of the best guides we have had over the years. Our driver, Mark, was also very helpful. The birthday cake which Maria had arranged for Renu was a wonderful surprise. A choir of random passing tourists and security guards was recruited to join in singing happy birthday in English and Spanish to our birthday girl, as well as to enjoy the cake. It was great fun. On the way to Lake Atitlan, by chance we saw a large group of people who had gathered for a Mayan ritual at one of the archaeological sites, with shamans and fires and ceremonies. Very interesting.

From start to finish, this was a perfect trip. Everything was 5 star: the ship, the staff, the excursions- everything.

Exceptional. Trip of a lifetime. Royal Galapagos, your local partners in Ecuador, were excellent. A special shout out to Alejandra (Ale), our guide and naturalist, she was fantastic. An exciting and educational adventure. Life changing.

The fact that we had a brand new boat, all the passengers knew one another and we had a fantastic guide made the overall trip unique and it would likely be impossible to duplicate. Mary Rose was excellent in her efforts to answer all of our questions, as well as arranging the relatively last minute dinner in Quito to and from the airport. Santiago the driver for this excursion was great and if I ever go back to Quito, he would be the fellow I would want to get me around. His English was excellent, he was fun and informative and very helpful.

This was a trip of a lifetime - it exceeded all my expectations. The ship’s crew were amazing, extremely friendly and courteous , nonjudgmental when I had difficulties. They were extremely concerned with our safety but still making sure we enjoyed every adventure. Our tour guide Ale was superb - she obviously loved what she was doing ,was knowledgeable and shared that knowledge in a fun way. Five stars is not a high enough rating - she went above and beyond to fulfill everyone’s wish list even getting me a non swimming water fearing person into the ocean to enjoy the snorkeling.

This was a trip of our lifetime...I cant stop thinking about just how wonderful it was. Pretty sure nothing can top it. So many thanks for helping to organize our time in Ecuador and Galapagos. Ale...You are the best, I will always remember your joyful smile and eagerness to show us your islands.

A terrific trip from start to finish! Alejandra, our guide, couldn’t have been more informative, interesting and interested. She was solicitous and thoughtful, and a fountain of knowledge. We felt very well looked after by her as well as the Angel’s crews.

The trip was incredible and far exceeded our expectations.

Everything was wonderful. Every connection went very smoothly. Every guide was on time, very knowledgeable, very friendly and very accommodating.

Everything was excellent but our naturalist guide Pepe deserves special mention. We couldn't have wished for a better guide. He explained everything to us extremely well both before and during the excursions and had a wonderful rapport with all of us. Diego in Quito was also very good and all the crew on the Cormorant II were great

Our guide was excellent. She had everything that we needed to keep the trip running smooth. Our trip was perfect in large part to her.

Easter Island was awesome! Our guide, Nicolas was amazing! He was the perfect guide, he knew everything, had been everywhere and done everything on Rapa Nui. Perfect trip, zero complaints.

Trip was outstanding! We were unsure what to expect but everything was very well done. Ship and accommodations were comfortable and well appointed; staff and tours were very friendly and well organized; itinerary included a good variety of locations and activities from small towns to major cities with informative local tours and time for individual exploration. We were on the first cruise of the season and there were only 17 passengers versus a capacity of 36; lots of time to get to know our fellow travelers from around the world.

It was simply amazing! The best part was the days in Brush. Wild and no people, simple and challenging and gorgeous. The W trek was also wonderful but more civilized. Amazing campings, food guide and great porters and amazing treks. Loved every minute.
