GBMemorable vacation Memorable vacation. Southern Explorations took care of all aspects of our trip. From meeting us at the airport, to booking our wonderful hotels, to arranging our catamaran experience, to hiring our amazing land guide, Adrian. Our land and water tours taught us about various aspects of life in Equator and the Galápagos Islands. Thank you, Southern Explorations.

GBGuides knew their subjects and were… Guides knew their subjects and were polite, patient and reliable. One time only, our excursion pick-up came late (1/2 hour late, early morning pick-up) even though we had discussed the scheduled time the night before. No other glitches occurred.

GBCustomized Itinerary Working with Jonathan on our trip to Costa Rica was a great experience-he listened to our interests and customized a perfect itinerary that was fun, adventurous and paced out well. He was also responsive, resourceful and transparent. The trip was very smooth with no glitches and we also found the SE App helpful while travelling. Our local tour guide Juan Carlos was amazing and we learned so much about the country and saw so much that we would not have seen if we rented a car and planned our own trip. Pura Vida!

GBThe trip was well-organized and… The trip was well-organized and well-paced. The guides, especially in Bariloche, were excellent! They were able to pivot and provide an alternative hike/activity when the original first-day hiking trail was closed due to rain the previous day. The hotels were well-situated and comfortable.

GBPatagonia Plus Southern Explorations (SA) customized our itinerary to meet all of our interests and their downloadable portal was a great reference tool throughout the trip. The transfers, accommodations, guides, and excursions were excellent and the guides went out of their way to make sure we had the experience we were wanting. This was our second trip with SA and we'll gladly use them again if our travel plans take us back to South America and we've also referred them to others.
