"Experiencing the wonders of Patagonia."

Thanks to Southern Explorations we had a fantastic Patagonia experience. Everything from the transportation arrangements, accommodations, and guides were perfect. The guides were friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful full of good stories and information that made the experience all the more satisfying.

"See my review comments above"

Very responsive when we wanted to add experiences. Promptly returned phone calls and emails. Very knowledgeble about Argentina. Provided in-depth answers to questions we asked. Warm and helpful.

"Galapagos Cruise"

Communication beforehand timely and thorough.
Excellent organization on info and on the cruise itself.
Guides were very knowledgeable and enthusiastic.

"Look 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.

"This was so well organized it was…"

This was so well organized it was unbelievable! The Galapagos is a must see! I feel that it would be hard to beat this trip! And southern explorations!

"Great choices of hotel and restaurant"

Great choices of hotel and restaurant, great guide and driver (shout out to Andy and Jose!) , and a thoughtfully planned itinerary.... so convenient and luxurious to be met at the airports, taken to the hotel, etc.

"Such a great trip"

Just such a beautifully planned trip -- comfortable and rugged, just the right amount of time in each location, and the guides were incredibly thoughtful, charming and knowledgable.

"Southern 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!

"Southern Explorations made our journey…"

Southern Explorations made our journey through Patagonia very fluid. Transition from park to park & through borders & then on to the a cruise ship was seamless. Would use them again and again

"Experience was beyond our expectations…"

Experience was beyond our expectations from start to finish! We were met at the airport and escorted to our bus transportation with our luggage seamlessly! Our boat and staff were excellent and luggage was moved to and from our staterooms with no problems. SE took us through the Quito airport on our departure day also! Only let us go once everyone was through security and on their way. Our guide and hotel in Quito were incredible! Old town tour and gondola ride great! Wonderful trip!
