"Ecuador-Galapagos Tour"

My wife and I had a wonderful trip to Ecuador. 7 days in the Andes and 7 days on a land-based Galapagos Tour. Itinerary was well planned and guides were excellent- very attentive and knowledgeable. All transportation arrangements were well organized. Accommodations were excellent.

"Amazing Machu Picchu and Sacred Valley Trip"

This is my third trip with Southern Explorations and they have all been great. Communications and planning is always well managed. Kaitlyn was really knowledgeable and easy to work with for planning this last trip to Machu Picchu in March. Kaitlyn listened to us and planned the right experiences and accomodations for us.

Our Sacred Valley/Machu Picchu guide - Jose Luis is one of the BEST guides we've ever had. His knowledge, passion and energy around everything Inca and Sacred Valley is amazing. He's also a super personable and thoughtful on the needs/interests of his clients. We really enjoyed our time spent with Jose Luis (and Robert our driver). We left Peru with our minds full of Inca history, impact and traditions.

"Our trip was fantastic"

Our trip was fantastic. Southern Explorations modified our itinerary multiple times during the planning process as out schedules changed. Our guide Milagros was fantastic. Very knowledgeable and willing to adjust things to meet our needs. All travel arrangements went well. Would definitely use this company again the next time we come to South America

"Incredible Adventure"

The accomodations and activities were exactly as described. The food was excellent at the all inclusive lodges. Each guide was well informed and spoke excellent English which was appreciated. The pick up times were right on schedule. Everything was timely and fun!

"Another Great Adventure with SE"

Patagonia was our 2nd trip with Southern Exploration and they did not disappoint. Like our Galapagos adventure with SE, everything went like clockwork and all the drivers, guides and support staff were knowledgeable, responsive and professional. The accommodations and informational app were wonderful. We’re already thinking of our next adventure with SE. Highly recommend SE!

"Great communication, logistics & service"

The logistics, customer service, communications, and accommodations were all outstanding. This was our second trip with Southern Explorations and they readily modified the itinerary for us.

"Itinerary was followed flawlessly"

Itinerary was followed flawlessly: all pickups, drop offs, guides and accommodations exceeded expectations.
All our guides starting with Adrian on a a day trip in Quito, to Victor on the Manatee and Fausto at Sacha Lodge were friendly, enthusiastic and very knowledgeable. This was our first time using SE, thinking it won’t be our last.

"600 Miles, 2025"

Our Galapagos trip exceeded expectations. The logistics came off without a hiccup. Thanks S.E. Our guide was exemplary and the entire ship's crew was outstanding - totally service oriented. Therefore, experiencing and enjoying everything above and below the waterline in the Galapagos was phenomenal..

"Perfect trip"

We felt totally taken care of in every aspect of our trip. Southern Explorations answered all of our questions during the planning of our trip and while we were preparing for travel. The hotels and guides were amazing. They put together an amazing package!

"Quito and the Galapagos Isksnds"

Our itinerary changed last minute due to airline delays and as soon as other arrangements made I was able to reach Southern Explorations immediately and they updated our plans and guides who were right there ready to accommodate changes. The tours were customized to meet our physical needs, and all connections had people there to make sure we didn’t miss anything. The trip booked on the Elite in the Galapagos was spectacular, 5 star accommodations and meals. And same with hotels in Quito, they selected the best.
