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!

They provided expert guidance and patiently answered questions during the planning stages. When we arrived, the local guides and personal service were outstanding. The itinerary, travel arrangements and excellent hotels all made for a seamless and fun trip. Great mix of hiking and relaxation in beautiful surroundings. Southern Explorations' expertise in knowing what to visit and how to plan activities made the trip live up to its “luxury” billing.

GBA perfectly tailored trip chalk-full of experiences! Marissa listened to us and planned our itinerary accordingly. After sharing an initial draft, she tweaked it a bit to make it perfect. Our trip was chalk-full of interesting and unique experiences, which is exactly how we like to travel. The excursions were wonderful, as were the guides, and we'd happily contact Southern Explorations again in the near future!

GBPeru trip to Lima, Cusco, Ollantaytambo and Machu Picchu The guides we were lucky enough to get were Antonio and Darwin, they made the trip so enjoyable. They are extremely outgoing, friendly and knowledgeable. We did white water rafting, steel ladders and zip lining, climb the Inca trail, Machu Picchu and a full day of community service at two local schools. It was beautiful and amazing. We traveled with 8 teenaged boys.
