Excellent land based tour of 4 Galapagos Islands with our local guide Zambo. Our group brought great Karma and we saw some remarkable mammals, birds and reptiles along with the some spectacular scenery. The highlight was snorkelling with the Hammerhead Sharks at Kicker Rock. Enjoyed the beach front accommodations and local foods - loved the ceviche. Would highly recommend this tour!

It's my pleasure to praise the picturesque Patagonia Puma adventure. The itinerary is very well balanced with physical activity and relaxation, and the scenery is stunning throughout. Our accommodations and food were wonderful also, again well balanced with everything from the charming island motel to lovely high-end hotels, and with meals ranging from generous packed lunches to gourmet dining. Our guide, Mayra, was wonderful; she was able to connect with diverse personalities and fitness levels within our group, and ensured that everyone had a great travel experience! All of our local guides were excellent also.The trip highlights were many: Cerro Falkner hike, sea kayaking in Reloncavi Fiord, rafting the Petrohue River, Hotel La Casa de Eugenia San Martin.

Having completed numerous active adventures since our retirement 12 years ago, (many of which were 5 out of 5 in difficulty level) we thought it might be time to leave the mountains. Not so fast. Perhaps we could continue our mountain explorations if we scaled back a little on the difficulty level and improved the accommodations available. The Puma trip to Northern Patagonia (activity level 3 out of 5) was just the answer. This trip included numerous mountain hikes, lake and fiord kayaking, white water rafting, and fabulous scenery. After a busy day we always went back to lovely accomodations, excellent culinary delights with refreshing beverages, and a comfy bed to sleep in. The trekking is not a walk in the park, and still requires a good level of fitness. We enjoy getting ready for the trip with many visits to the gym and other active pastimes. Mayra, our tour guide, could not have been more friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. We were very sad to say goodbye!

Our second trip to South America with Active Adventures surpassed the high expectations we had after our amazing trip to Peru. Not a single detail was left unattended.
Gustavo was an exceptional leader. We quickly gained confidence in him throughout the W-Trek and beyond. It was great comfort to know that he always had our back. We truly appreciated the individual attention whenever required and often in advance of any need. He encouraged and modelled a true family like environment that let us feel comfortable with each other which contributed significantly to the overall experience.
We must also compliment and recognize the very excellent contribution of the local guides at all locations. They like Gustavo were consummate professionals who quickly gained our confidence and provided all essential support, input and advice on how to get the most from our trip.
While often unsung, we were particularly happy with the drivers who moved us from place to place. They drove in a safe and comfortable manner that let us truly relax and enjoy the scenery. (This is important)
As always we appreciate that locally provided equipment was of a first class quality.
We could go on all day but the best thing we think we can do is quote Arnold Schwarzenegger " we'll be back".ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜
