Southern Explorations LLC

Description

The Galapagos Islands were a magical place. The gorgeous variety of landscapes, animals, and experiences far exceeded our expectations. Our naturalist, Rapha, went out of his way to show us all the special and unique things these Islands have to offer and you couldn’t help but be impressed with his in-depth knowledge of all the species of animal and plants. There was no question he couldn’t answer and his enthusiasm was contagious. The staff aboard the ship was attentive and dedicated to providing the highest quality of service.

For the most part, our customers are active independent vacationers, unaccustomed to the "guided tour." They seek not just adventure from their travels but a new world view. We therefore strive to provide as authentic an experience as possible with an in-country coordinated and guided trip rather than sending a Western tour guide to oversee their stay. We keep our groups small and assemble itineraries from an eclectic mix of places and activities, some on, but many off, the beaten tourist path. Because we are a small company, we can offer the utmost in personal attention to ensure that each trip precisely suits the needs and interests of our customers in an area of the world we know well.

Southern Explorations is dedicated to providing high quality travel experiences that preserve the fragile lands we visit. By working closely with our customers, we are able to design unique vacations that match their interests and schedule. In addition to customized private tours, our specialty, we also offer pre-set departures to a wide range of South and Central American destinations.

“Southern Explorations exceeded our expectations. I was a bit nervous booking our trip with an organization found on the internet, but I am so glad that I chose Southern Explorations. They were willing to answer numerous email queries as we decided on the details of our trip and kept us up to date as plans progressed. The actual trip to Quito and the Galapagos exceeded our expectations. The Quito guides were both personable and knowledgeable and the week on the Eclipse was amazing!.
