Milton, our guide has a comprehensive knowledge about his country which he passed on to us with great joy and great enthusiasm!

It was packed with so many unique experiences for me and my husband and everything about this day exceeded our expectations. 

The 2 hour drive to Mindo was very scenic, our guide, Juan, shared more history, culture, and geography of Ecuador during this drive (he was our guide previous day when we went to Papallacta).  The roads were very windy and filled with pot holes, so if you are prone to car sickness, be prepared.  Juan was kind and checked how we were feeling consistently so don\'t be scared to let your guide know if you aren\'t feeling well. Remember that you are going from the highlands into lowland so the roads are steep and can be little scary. 

Once we got to Mindo, we went to the Hummingbird conservation reserve where we got to feed hummingbirds, they would stop on our fingers to drink the nectar. They get so close to you that you could feel and hear their powerful wings while they took a drink. It was truly a unique experience! The staff at the reserve didn\'t speak a lot of English so having Juan to translate was very helpful. 

After the Hummingbirds, we went to the Butterfly Garden. The enclosure had ~25 butterfly species in various stages of maturity. We were able to get butterflies to land on our cloths and fingers. 

We also did a quick zip-lines to view the vast Mindo Cloud Forest from a completely different vantage point, we got super lucky with the weather so we were able to really soak in the view. I can\'t really describe how beautiful the forest looks from above. They do give you gloves to hold one of the cable for balance for one of the longer/faster lines so if you feel uncomfortable with that, don\'t hesitant and speaking with your tour guide about your concerns. 

We then went for a three hour hike in the Mindo Cloud Forest. We took a cable car so if you are very scared of heights, it might be little scary for you. I was a little worried but once seated in the cable car, I was okay. The hike was steep and challenging, especially because there were landslide from heavy rain few days prior but totally worth it. Work with your guide to set a pace that works for you. We were able to see three waterfalls before we had to turn around to head back. Unfortunately, the birds weren\'t out the day we went so we didn\'t get to see any birds but don\'t let that discourage you, there are many other beautiful sights and vegetation to see. Make sure you wear appropriate hiking shoes, we went during the rainy season so it was very muddy and slippery. Take a rain jacket as well because of unpredictable weather during the rainy season. If you have hiking poles, that might be helpful for the steep terrain. 

We had lunch at a very nice authentic Ecuadorian restaurant (the food was incredible), and then went to the chocolate factory.  My husband and I don\'t really like chocolate so we weren\'t that excited about this part of the tour but it exceed all of our expectations. After the brief tour of the factory and explanation of how they make their chocolate, we were able to do a tasting menu, where they brought out hot cocoa, chocolate made onsite, and brownies. The hot cocoa and brownie made from 100% cocoa was the best chocolate dessert that we have ever had. We ended up buying chocolates as souvenirs because this quality of cholate at the price point is unheard of.

They remained in contact with us the whole time and Nicole answered many questions with very quick email responses. During the trip we were thrilled to meet Nicole in person and let her know what a great time we had. 

This is a top-notch tour company who takes care of their clients. Of course no tour goes exactly to plan, but they handled the adjustments like pros. As an example, our driver was late to pick us up for our last ride to the airport. We called Nicole and let her know that we were taking  a taxi from the hotel so we wouldn’t be late. By the time we arrived at the airport, the driver told us that AJ already said they would pay him directly. We didn’t have to pay him or argue for a refund. 

The 10 day Galapagos tour itself was wonderful. We saw all the famous animals up-close and personal. My favorite was the Blue Footed Boobie, but they were all great. The snorkeling was amazing, especially the tour of “The Tunnels.” 

The tour was fast -paced with several very early mornings, but worth every minute. We ended up spending more money than we estimated (probably because we chose more expensive restaurants and enjoyed some drinks). The food provided was generally adequate and simple local fare typically rice, beans, and fish or chicken. Fruit and juice was always available. We bought a lot of water, but it’s not expensive ($3.50 for 6 liters). The island water is brackish, so all the cooking and drinking water is bottled - no need to avoid ice or fresh produce! The hotels were spacious, air-conditioned, and pleasant even if there was never enough hot water for showers.

Since the trip was going to be right after our wedding, we didn\'t want to have to plan a thing and just show up.  After doing some research we opted to do the Galapagos multisport package with Adventure Journeys.  We couldn’t have been happier with our selection.  The adventure was amazing, we saw so much wildlife and nature, learned about the rich heritage and culture, and our guide, Paul, really attended all of our needs and gave amazing restaurant recommendations while on the island.  After our time on the island, with the assistance of Adventure Journeys, we went on an spectacular tour around Ecuador to see Cotopaxi, Quilotoa, and some R&R at Papallacta.  Again AJ did a great job with the accommodations and provided a guide who taught us about the culture along the way.  We highly recommend using Adventure Journeys for your tour needs.',5.0,'2020-07-25T09:51:13Z','REV-BoMrtFyN23Ai/px1RY9mEjCVM7aSwVdYj2lsKEobFys=','en','russell49ak','TRIPADVISOR'),('59685P2','10-Day Galapagos Multi-Sport','Awesome','Paul our guide was ‘sensational’ to say the least. We were a couple, and had family with two teenage boys to cope with, and a newly married couple on honeymoon.

Absolutely everything ran like clockwork, & supremely smooth. Transport, food, various activities with & without equipment, even time for our own solitude & all with a great sense of humor.
When a time was quoted for the following day, Paul would arrive 5 mins before. 

He got us to pretty much all the wildlife & sealife   we could have wished for.

Adventure Journeys did just about everything very well.  There was some slight miscommunication on a couple of parts of our itinerary, but overall we loved both the activities and the local culture we got to see in the Galapagos.  Our Adventure Journeys guide, Alfonso, was outstanding, as were the various naturalist guides that took us to the specific locations within the Galapagos.  The hotels were great, and the meals were pretty good too.  The mix of scheduled activities and free time to explore (or relax) on your own was just right. 
 Bottom line - the Galapagos and its flora and fauna were beautiful as we expected, the people there were friendly, and Adventure Journeys planned and executed a top-notch trip to experience all of that.  Will definitely book with them again if we go back to that part of the world.',5.0,'2018-10-09T11:14:24Z','REV-LOAx6F02Yzy3OtWozoOPMDXSQrzefiaK5679ww5VgdM=','en','Jayson M','TRIPADVISOR'),('59685P26','Papallacta Hot Springs Spa Resort','Great Day Trip','There are public hot springs and private ones attached to a hotel and spa. This review is of the private thermal pools. I went on a day trip from Quito, but did not stay overnight in the hotel. 
There are 4 thermal hot pools varying in temperature and 1 cold plunge. The facility has coed lockers with private changing rooms attached. Bathrooms and showers are separated by gender. The $23 entrance fee includes cloth swim cap,  towel, shower gel, shampoo and conditioner. I would recommend bringing flip flops and and a second towel. It was cold and rainy the day I visited, so the hot springs were perfect to warm up. There are not a lot of chairs or chaises to sit on and even fewer under cover. 
After a few hours in the pools, I had lunch at the hotel’s restaurant. I love good food whether it be prepared by a fancy chef or Abuela cooking traditional food. This was good food. The fresh guava juice was the best. The fresh Trout and shrimp in garlic sauce with sautéed veggies and fried green plantains was grilled just right. The meal was simple but well prepared and so delicious. It was also well priced at $22 including a yummy hot chocolate which I had as my desert. So glad I listened to the reviews and ate here after leaving the thermal baths.
Overall a good day trip from Quito to relax.',4.0,'2023-11-25T03:04:23Z','REV-kzX5WcwCL8ukO+1zUnQ1jD9OOuA+NnhwjMSTwRhLwLY=','en','jndst12','TRIPADVISOR'),('59685P26','Papallacta Hot Springs Spa Resort','Papallacta tour','The tour to the hot springs were absolutely amazing.

Adventure Journeys came highly recommended from a friend who went on their 10-day Galapagos Multisport tour. When we were scheduling the Galapagos trip, we found out quickly what an incredible company they are. Their goal is to provide their clients with best experience through excellent service and tailor to the client\'s interests and needs. That philosophy started with the booking phase and I really appreciated their dedication since it can be very stressful to plan long trips to counties that you don\'t speak the primary language. We worked with Nicole during the booking phase, and she was incredibly kind, accommodating, and best of all, very responsive.  Because of her excellent service, we decided to schedule a couple of day trips on our extra days in Quito.

Moving on to the day trip experience, my husband and I travelled for about 15 hours the previous day and we needed a mild and relaxing activities to reset on our second day in Ecuador. This day trip to Papallacta and being able to soak in the hot springs was exactly what we needed.  The ~1.5 hr drive to Papallacta was scenic and we learned about Ecuador\'s history, geography, and culture from our guide, Juan, as we drove. We went for a brief hike, soaked in the hot springs, had delicious authentic Ecuadorian lunch (recommended by Juan), and stopped at a scenic overpass to view the Laguna Papallacta. 

General recommendations, the hike was pretty quick, if you like longer hikes, I would encourage you to ask your tour guide if you can do a longer hike. Remember, this company is all about doing what you want to do and give you the best experience so don\'t be shy to ask. For the hot springs, there are public hot springs which is included in this day tour and then there are private hot springs connected to the spa which costs slightly more. We paid for the difference ($26) which I believe was totally worth it. 

Finally, I don\'t know who your tour guide will be but our guide, Juan was incredible. He was kind, very knowledgeable, helpful, and just so pleasant to spend time with. My husband is pretty introverted so a long drive with someone unfamiliar is one of his dislikes but he had a wonderful time! 

The hot spring spa staff spoke English very well so it\'s possible to do a day trip like this yourself but booking through a trusted tour company was great for us because of the convivence of having someone pick you up at your hotel, speak with the local community members was great, and most importantly, we felt incredible safe the whole time.',5.0,'2022-03-25T08:19:52Z','REV-dPK2vxwSBpq4hhz17ygGcRlcmgCtTShNMV7Nb2zZCAw=','en','Ganaai115','TRIPADVISOR'),('59685P26','Papallacta Hot Springs Spa Resort','A must do ((Imprescindible)','Oh my goodness, what a fantastic day.

We worked with Nicole during the booking phase, and she was incredibly kind, accommodating, and best of all, very responsive.  Because of her excellent service, we decided to schedule a couple of day trips on our extra days in Quito.

Moving on to the day trip experience, my husband and I travelled for about 15 hours the previous day and we needed a mild and relaxing activities to reset on our second day in Ecuador. This day trip to Papallacta and being able to soak in the hot springs was exactly what we needed.  The ~1.5 hr drive to Papallacta was scenic and we learned about Ecuador\'s history, geography, and culture from our guide, Juan, as we drove. We went for a brief hike, soaked in the hot springs, had delicious authentic Ecuadorian lunch (recommended by Juan), and stopped at a scenic overpass to view the Laguna Papallacta. 

General recommendations, the hike was pretty quick, if you like longer hikes, I would encourage you to ask your tour guide if you can do a longer hike. Remember, this company is all about doing what you want to do and give you the best experience so don\'t be shy to ask. For the hot springs, there are public hot springs which is included in this day tour and then there are private hot springs connected to the spa which costs slightly more. We paid for the difference ($26) which I believe was totally worth it. 

Finally, I don\'t know who your tour guide will be but our guide, Juan was incredible. He was kind, very knowledgeable, helpful, and just so pleasant to spend time with. My husband is pretty introverted so a long drive with someone unfamiliar is one of his dislikes but he had a wonderful time! 

The hot spring spa staff spoke English very well so it\'s possible to do a day trip like this yourself but booking through a trusted tour company was great for us because of the convivence of having someone pick you up at your hotel, speak with the local community members was great, and most importantly, we felt incredible safe the whole time.',5.0,'2022-03-25T08:19:52Z','REV-dPK2vxwSBpq4hhz17ygGcRlcmgCtTShNMV7Nb2zZCAw=','en','Ganaai115','TRIPADVISOR'),('59685P26','Papallacta Hot Springs Spa Resort','A must do ((Imprescindible)','Oh my goodness, what a fantastic day.

Moving on to the day trip experience, my husband and I travelled for about 15 hours the previous day and we needed a mild and relaxing activities to reset on our second day in Ecuador.

We went for a brief hike, soaked in the hot springs, had delicious authentic Ecuadorian lunch (recommended by Juan), and stopped at a scenic overpass to view the Laguna Papallacta. 

General recommendations, the hike was pretty quick, if you like longer hikes, I would encourage you to ask your tour guide if you can do a longer hike. Remember, this company is all about doing what you want to do and give you the best experience so don\'t be shy to ask. For the hot springs, there are public hot springs which is included in this day tour and then there are private hot springs connected to the spa which costs slightly more.

My colleagues and I had the opportunity to experience it all. Our trip started in Quito, the capital city and continued in the amazing hands of our guides Marco, Paulina and bus driver Armando. Over the next 7 days we got to challenge ourself trekking at 14’000 feet, learning a lot about the Cotopaxi region including its people, culture, fauna and got to experience the best welcoming ceremony performed by Paulina. There are not enough words to express the gratitude towards this unique moment Paulina created for us.

Over the next couple days we got to push ourself in participating in multiple sport activities such zip lining in Mindo forest, mountain biking around the Baños region, swimming in the river with many water falls, rappelling up and down water falls, river rafting, crossing a raging river, climbing a 100 meter tall wall, and more.

This trip would have not been so successful without the great support and passion for Ecuador from Marco, our main guide. His ability to assess, listen to and act upon the group’s needs was very much appreciated. Marco is truly an outstanding guide with the knowhow needed to keep you interested, curious about his own culture and history, and making you feel welcome and safe. He was there for us 24/7.

Adventure Journeys came highly recommended from a friend who went on their 10-day Galapagos Multisport tour. When we were scheduling the Galapagos trip, we found out quickly what an incredible company they are. Their goal is to provide their clients with best experience through excellent service and tailor to the client\'s interests and needs. That philosophy started with the booking phase and I really appreciated their dedication since it can be very stressful to plan long trips to counties that you don\'t speak the primary language. We worked with Nicole during the booking phase, and she was incredibly kind, accommodating, and best of all, very responsive.  Because of her excellent service, we decided to schedule a couple of day trips on our extra days in Quito.

Moving on to the day trip experience, my husband and I travelled for about 15 hours the previous day and we needed a mild and relaxing activities to reset on our second day in Ecuador. This day trip to Papallacta and being able to soak in the hot springs was exactly what we needed.  The ~1.5 hr drive to Papallacta was scenic and we learned about Ecuador\'s history, geography, and culture from our guide, Juan, as we drove. We went for a brief hike, soaked in the hot springs, had delicious authentic Ecuadorian lunch (recommended by Juan), and stopped at a scenic overpass to view the Laguna Papallacta. 

General recommendations, the hike was pretty quick, if you like longer hikes, I would encourage you to ask your tour guide if you can do a longer hike. Remember, this company is all about doing what you want to do and give you the best experience so don\'t be shy to ask. For the hot springs, there are public hot springs which is included in this day tour and then there are private hot springs connected to the spa which costs slightly more. We paid for the difference ($26) which I believe was totally worth it. 

Finally, I don\'t know who your tour guide will be but our guide, Juan was incredible. He was kind, very knowledgeable, helpful, and just so pleasant to spend time with. My husband is pretty introverted so a long drive with someone unfamiliar is one of his dislikes but he had a wonderful time! 

The hot spring spa staff spoke English very well so it\'s possible to do a day trip like this yourself but booking through a trusted tour company was great for us because of the convivence of having someone pick you up at your hotel, speak with the local community members was great, and most importantly, we felt incredible safe the whole time.',5.0,'2022-03-25T08:19:52Z','REV-dPK2vxwSBpq4hhz17ygGcRlcmgCtTShNMV7Nb2zZCAw=','en','Ganaai115','TRIPADVISOR'),('59685P26','Papallacta Hot Springs Spa Resort','A must do ((Imprescindible)','Oh my goodness, what a fantastic day.

Adventure Journeys came highly recommended from a friend who went on their 10-day Galapagos Multisport tour. When we were scheduling the Galapagos trip, we found out quickly what an incredible company they are. Their goal is to provide their clients with best experience through excellent service and tailor to the client\'s interests and needs. That philosophy started with the booking phase and I really appreciated their dedication since it can be very stressful to plan long trips to counties that you don\'t speak the primary language. We worked with Nicole during the booking phase, and she was incredibly kind, accommodating, and best of all, very responsive.  Because of her excellent service, we decided to schedule a couple of day trips on our extra days in Quito.

Moving on to the day trip experience, my husband and I travelled for about 15 hours the previous day and we needed a mild and relaxing activities to reset on our second day in Ecuador. This day trip to Papallacta and being able to soak in the hot springs was exactly what we needed.  The ~1.5 hr drive to Papallacta was scenic and we learned about Ecuador\'s history, geography, and culture from our guide, Juan, as we drove. We went for a brief hike, soaked in the hot springs, had delicious authentic Ecuadorian lunch (recommended by Juan), and stopped at a scenic overpass to view the Laguna Papallacta. 

General recommendations, the hike was pretty quick, if you like longer hikes, I would encourage you to ask your tour guide if you can do a longer hike. Remember, this company is all about doing what you want to do and give you the best experience so don\'t be shy to ask. For the hot springs, there are public hot springs which is included in this day tour and then there are private hot springs connected to the spa which costs slightly more. We paid for the difference ($26) which I believe was totally worth it. 

Finally, I don\'t know who your tour guide will be but our guide, Juan was incredible. He was kind, very knowledgeable, helpful, and just so pleasant to spend time with. My husband is pretty introverted so a long drive with someone unfamiliar is one of his dislikes but he had a wonderful time! 

The hot spring spa staff spoke English very well so it\'s possible to do a day trip like this yourself but booking through a trusted tour company was great for us because of the convivence of having someone pick you up at your hotel, speak with the local community members was great, and most importantly, we felt incredible safe the whole time.',5.0,'2022-03-25T08:19:52Z','REV-dPK2vxwSBpq4hhz17ygGcRlcmgCtTShNMV7Nb2zZCAw=','en','Ganaai115','TRIPADVISOR'),('59685P26','Papallacta Hot Springs Spa Resort','A must do ((Imprescindible)','Oh my goodness, what a fantastic day. First, My tour guide, Jen, was absolutely incredible—a true professional. She arrived at the meet-up location early, and as we drove to Papallacta, she answered many questions about Quito. I have never met a more knowledgeable tour guide. In addition, Jen knew about every PLANT at Papallacta. She is a walking book of knowledge.  I must say that Jen was always available and allowed me to have alone time. I even took a nap in the car on the way back.  And she played my favorite song, Beseme Mucho. Jen was absolutely amazing. If you go on this experience, please ask for Jen. 

You must do Papallacta; it is so relaxing. The hot springs take away your stress. I spent 4 hours in the hot springs. There are 15 different pools. The food was amazing. I had the fish. The nature walk was what I need to to further relax. We could not see the lagoon because of the fog; we were on a mountain.

Iva was our guide and she was incredible. She was well-informed about each place we went and gave us a lot of interesting information along the way. We felt like we didn\'t need to worry about anything as everything (logistics, payments, transport etc) was taken care of, and everything was very organized, with Iva and our drivers being punctual and professional. Each experience was unique, from snorkelling at Los Tuneles and seeing tons of marine life to hiking up to the caldera and watching the clouds come in and cover it (which was magical). Iva gave us really great advice throughout the tour, such as tips to avoid getting sick on the boat ride from Santa Cruz to Isabela - which is not for the faint of heart - to many excellent restaurant recommendations. I also appreciated that the schedule was not too packed and had some break times built in, as this helped us to keep our energy up. 10/10 would recommend this experience to anyone looking for a comprehensive exploration of the essential Galapagos sites.',5.0,'2023-07-16T22:38:29Z','REV-729C5gwMIMH40yNqT+BW3/ckQKxulKvq4y5+MbTEh+g=','en','shannonccs','TRIPADVISOR'),('59685P5','7-Day The Best of Galapagos Adventure','Amazing experience','We can’t speak highly enough of Adventure Journeys and our Guide Gabriel in the Galapagos.

For us, this trip was full of surprises, unique and beautiful! These active holidays were very well organised by Adventure Journeys (AJ). Every day showed new aspects of this great country!
On our day tour through Quito we got an impression of the history, politics and culture not only of the city but also of Ecuador as an entire country. Our guide Milton Chiqui López with his commitment, caring, humour and extensive knowledge made this trip a special experience for us! The driver Julio Pérez led us safely through Ecuador. He always made sure that we didn\'t leave anything behind. The two of them were a super team! 

We experienced the people in Ecuador as warm-hearted, helpful and friendly! On our hikes through the Amazon region, we got to know the 
wonderful and lush nature of Ecuador. The Kichwa community gave us an insight into their everyday life. The Kichwas showed us how they process cacao, make jewellery with plants, etc. We were allowed to participate and learned how they work and were even invited to dance with them. 
The volcano Chimborazo was also an extraordinary experience for us. We are quite proud that we made the short climb (with some effort) at the altitude of 4900m to 5100m. It was worth it!

We also liked Cuenca very much!

Finally, on our way to Guayaquil, we experienced the wild nature of the Cajas National Park which fascinated us!

From Guayaquil we flew to the Galapagos Islands. Here we hiked over volcanic rocks along the sea, where we observed sea lizards, birds and sea lions. On a bike tour we encountered giant tortoises! We hiked to the crater of Sierra Negra, also a great experience. On Isabela Island we snorkelled to see penguins, sea lions, baby sharks and wonderful schools of colourful fish-also a great experience. Our guide Marlon Veliz had a lot of interesting things to say about this impressive natural paradise and the politics of this country.

On our trip we stayed in original and beautiful hotels. The food was always very good and balanced. We can highly recommend this fantastic trip!

Our planning contact Claire was on point and available to all the questions we had. They accommodated every request we made. With our entire group of four coming off heavy business travels we were ready to soak it all in. 

When we landed in Quito, customs line was extremely delayed. Nevertheless our friendly, guide greeted us with a sign at 2 am!

We had a great briefing and quick dinner and got all the information needed to start. 

Jorge, our guide was outstanding. He is perfectly bilingual so it was great to have an amazing interpreter with us. From Cotopaxi, to Toachi, to Quilotoa, to Chimborazo to Banos, every day was eventful. 

Myself, personally, on the second day didn’t feel great. I had strayed off my nutritional plan and about an hour in didn’t feel right. I mentioned it to the guide quietly on the side and asked him not to say anything. It amazed me to see how he gave each person in the group what they needed. For me that day, I knew I wasn’t at my best but knew that just in case of anything I was safe and cared for. He knew what I needed was a little extra time and he kept an eye without making an issue. I also noticed how strategic he was with his placement between the advanced hikers and the slower ones. Always ensuring everyone’s safety. 

Ah and the hostels! They were amazing!!!!! Every place we went into knew our guide and our driver Andres (lobido - little fox). They greeted us like we were long lost cousins. Luggage magically appeared. We were cold, Jorge helped us light a fire, I managed to get us locked out of our bathroom in the middle of the night: our team to the rescue. 

We laughed, we did extra unplanned stops (ice cream town! Guinea pig town! Hot springs) and made friends for life. 

I will be back, and I will be back with this team. Thank you Jorge for making my once a year vacation so epic. It was a magical trip, and the 7 days flew by so fast. 

I will say: last year I trained for my trek this year I did not. If you are trekking be prepared. It really does shape your experience if you are best prepared physically.

We were a group of six, and one guest in particular seemed very underprepared physically for the hikes. Our guide made sure to monitor the pace of the group to allow them to catch up and feel safe. He was very respectful to everyone’s abilities and pace.  I have been on other trekking tours, and in comparison to previous experiences, he was the most contentious towards everyone’s physical abilities, making sure no one was left out or left behind. 

This trip is a perfect mix of jaw dropping diverse scenery, challenging hikes that pushed your mind and body, delicious food, gorgeous hotels and hostels, rest and relaxing (spas, massages, you name it), and adventure activities in Banos.

Our guide Rafael was with us the whole tour. Very educated, experienced, tactful. He told us a lot about Ecuador, helped us with advice everywhere. He is also a very good driver.
On this tour we saw volcanoes, lagoons, and a variety of flora and fauna of Ecuador.
Rafael explained to us all the subtleties of life in Ecuador.
The routes are very well designed. Unforgettable landscapes. Very cozy hotels were waiting for us every day, as if from a fairy tale.

Our planning contact Claire was on point and available to all the questions we had. They accommodated every request we made. With our entire group of four coming off heavy business travels we were ready to soak it all in. 

When we landed in Quito, customs line was extremely delayed. Nevertheless our friendly, guide greeted us with a sign at 2 am!

We had a great briefing and quick dinner and got all the information needed to start. 

Jorge, our guide was outstanding. He is perfectly bilingual so it was great to have an amazing interpreter with us. From Cotopaxi, to Toachi, to Quilotoa, to Chimborazo to Banos, every day was eventful. 

Myself, personally, on the second day didn’t feel great. I had strayed off my nutritional plan and about an hour in didn’t feel right. I mentioned it to the guide quietly on the side and asked him not to say anything. It amazed me to see how he gave each person in the group what they needed. For me that day, I knew I wasn’t at my best but knew that just in case of anything I was safe and cared for. He knew what I needed was a little extra time and he kept an eye without making an issue. I also noticed how strategic he was with his placement between the advanced hikers and the slower ones. Always ensuring everyone’s safety. 

Ah and the hostels! They were amazing!!!!! Every place we went into knew our guide and our driver Andres (lobido - little fox). They greeted us like we were long lost cousins. Luggage magically appeared. We were cold, Jorge helped us light a fire, I managed to get us locked out of our bathroom in the middle of the night: our team to the rescue. 

We laughed, we did extra unplanned stops (ice cream town! Guinea pig town! Hot springs) and made friends for life. 

I will be back, and I will be back with this team. Thank you Jorge for making my once a year vacation so epic. It was a magical trip, and the 7 days flew by so fast. 

I will say: last year I trained for my trek this year I did not. If you are trekking be prepared. It really does shape your experience if you are best prepared physically.

The flights were spectacular, the scenery amazing, the guides fun, attentive, informative and lovely and the program tailored to suit our group excellently. The accommodation was extremely comfortable and the food and drinks excellent. We have specific dietary requirements and these were accommodated without any fuss and without making us feel like we were being difficult. We were provided with excellent options at every meal including snacks while we were out seeing the sights. At the camp, everything was thought through down to the smallest detail - lanterns and headlamps provided in our hut/tent, the bed was lovely and comfortable. The camp has been cleverly designed to be low impact and was nestled into the forest to give you the feeling of truly being in the wilderness. Birds flying around immediately outside your tent!
Quite a bit of our time during the day was spent in the boat travelling to beautiful, secluded beaches on Bathurst Harbour, visiting indigenous sites and historical sites, going on short to medium-length hikes. Having two guides at all times, the group could break into those keener on slightly more strenuous hikes and those more content to potter... 
We were also lucky enough to have great wildlife experiences including seeing dozens of the endangered Orange-Bellied Parrot, as well as potoroos, wedge-tailed eagles and a white-bellied sea eagle nest complete with fledglings.
The guides themselves were amazing, very, very knowledgeable and fonts of stories of all kinds, covering the geology, history and ecology of this amazing, wonderful region.
The boat trip out to Port Davey proper was a true highlight with dozens of islands, beaches, cliffs, blowholes and arches, all in a simply spectacular coastline. All done in comfort and safety with an engaging commentary and the guides being flexible and responsive to our individual requests.
We highly recommend this trip of a lifetime.',5.0,'2024-03-23T18:45:08Z','REV-SOWxKQKkKaRpGt8iQ2LqirlPpjXzZ5bRnB9ZIQg+Eow=','en','markhovenden68','TRIPADVISOR'),('5968SWWC_3DAY','3-Day Southwest National Park Wilderness Camping Tour','A tour to remember','What an amazing experience!

I am not sure exactly why I chose this tour as it is a little more expensive but I liked the boat and having a biologist  onboard so I booked it. I got incredibily lucky because our guide for the day is the Bay\'s lead biologist and whale rescue head name Astrid. She wowed us at every turn. Her excitement was contagious. She loves her job and that made our day even that much better. We saw pods of dolphin. We experienced 5 male humpbacks fighting for one female\'s attention. The day got even better when we spent the next half hour watching and photographing a mom and her baby at playtime, breaching every 16 seconds.

We started with a boat ride to Los Arcos to see the famous rock formations jutting out of the water. Raphael expertly maneuvered the boat while Michael shared interesting facts about the geology of the area. After admiring Los Arcos, we stopped for some snorkeling. The clear waters were teeming with tropical fish and Michael was great at pointing out things our eyes missed.
Next we headed south to the small seaside village of Yelapa. Once there, Michael led us on a moderately challenging hike to a breathtaking waterfall tucked deep in the jungle. It was an incredible payoff for our efforts. After we hiked back down we enjoyed a delicious beachfront lunch at a local restaurant.
With just our small group, Michael was able to customize the tour to our interests. His passion for nature and conservation was obvious through his nonstop commentary. Both Michael and Raphael were attentive hosts, making sure we were safe, informed, and having a great time.

1. Dress in light comfortable clothing

4. Make it your own! If you want to go slow please do! If the snorkeling is too intense, enjoy the beach and scenery! No pressure at all!

I can\'t say enough about her knowledge, positive attitude, and passion for not only birds but also the communities we visited. It was nice to see areas outside of the city, and to patronize local businesses as part of the tour. The small group size was wonderful, and allowed us to learn from each other without any overcrowding. We saw ~69 species in total. The geographic location is one-of-a-kind - it\'s an area where the tropical forest/jungle meets the mountain (alpine?) forest.

For those curious about how the day went:
- Started in PV just before dawn (6:45) and drove 45-60 minutes to a very small town, where Cynthia purchased coffee and pastries for us from a fantastic bakery that prepares them in large clay ovens
- Continued another ~15 minutes to the first stop, where we got out and spent some time birding. Cynthia provided some other snacks (granola bars, fruit). This is a truly unknown spot.. we would have never found it otherwise. Personal highlights were the Masked Tityra and Black-headed Siskin. 
- Continued on through some small communities to a Macaw Sanctuary. Here, we got to see Macaws and other birds that were being rehabilitated, as well as an abundance of wild birds. Cynthia was very familiar with the owners and provided donations on behalf of tour members. We went to a couple locations within the sanctuary, and were the only group there (apart from people staying in the cabins on-site). So many highlights here, including a Russet-crowned Motmot; Squirrel Cuckoo; Cinnamon, Calliope, and Plain-capped Starthroat hummingbirds; Painted Buntings; White-faced Ibis; Sora; Indigo Buntings; Blue Grosbeaks; Groove-billed Ani... the list goes on
- After the sanctuary, we moved onto the town of El Tuito, where we stopped at a local restaurant for snacks and drinks, courtesy of Ecotours (larger plates/additional drinks are pay-your-own). Here, we went through the bird list together.
- Drove back 60-90 minutes. Definitely a bumpy and trafficky ride!

Couple good things to note:
- Binoculars available to borrow
- The van is BUMPY. The roads are not smooth but the van itself also isn\'t... If you\'ve even once gotten carsick, highly recommend taking a gravol before the journey. (Not Cynthia\'s fault at all - just the combo of road/van).
- There isn\'t much walking on this tour. Lots of standing to look at birds, but you drive between all locations, even at the sanctuary. If you\'re looking to hike, this isn\'t for you!
- There are washrooms at the sanctuary (~2-3 hours in) and at the restaurant in El Tuito, as well as at Ecotours in PV. 
- Keep an eye out for birds as you drive! Cynthia was happy to stop as she and other group members noticed birds (this is how we spotted the motmot!)
- This is a trip for birders (obvious, I know). You\'ll enjoy it no matter your skill level.
