GBSouthern Explorations planned an amazing trip Southern Explorations planned an amazing trip for us!! Jonathan listened to what we wanted and made an exceptional itinerary. Everything went flawlessly! Pickups were prompt, the service at all the lodges was terrific, the choice of locations and lodges were perfect! Our guides were great, particularly Victor at Arenal. We were on the go practically every minute, tiring, but exhilarating! Ziplining, canyoneering, snorkeling, hiking, rafting, what a variety! Nayara upgraded us to a Rainforest Pool Villa, gorgeous, we think the bathroom alone was about 350 square feet! Definitely have to be hearty and adventurous for this itinerary, but we were up to the challenge and did great! Second Southern Explorations trip and would use them again for sure!

GBTorres del Paine and Chilean Fjord Trip Everything either met or exceeded our expectations. The excursions we booked from the Hotel Los Torres were wonderful, and often, we had private or almost private guided experiences. The food and lodgings were great. The cruise through the Chilean Fjords on the Skorpios III was terrific - great itinerary and glacial viewing, very attentive and friendly service and good food. We had a very fun and enjoyable trip.

GBLook for further for the best company to help you get the most out of South America Eric, listened to where I wanted to go and what I wanted to experience and set up all the arrangements which were professionally executed with loving care. After we arrived in Quito, we had 7 flights before we left Santiago to go back to the USA. Southern Exploration set them all up with transfers and hotels as well as an Amazon cruise, the lakes crossing in Patagonia from Argentina to Chile and finally excursions around Puerto Montt. Eric never tired of my endless questions and gladly changed things as requested. He even checked in about 1/2 way through our itinerary to see if all was well.The accounting staff is totally squared away, too.I can only say good things about the total operations of Southern Exploration. You will be very, very pleased if you use them. They are still the first class tour company my friends and I have used starting in 2008.

GBGreat Trip to the Galapagos Southern Explorations planned an amazing trip. They really think of everything including arranging hotel rooms for our lengthy layover between flights so we could rest and relax before our red-eye back home. All other accommodations were also really great. They were vey responsive to any questions or concerns both before and during the trip
