"Exploration Journeys gave me the gift of peace of mind, exactly what you need on vacation. I so appreciated the attention to detail, as that can make or break a trip (especially with kids)."
"We were 22 people, ranging in ages from 8 to 80, traveling to 4 cities in twelve days. So seamless and easy, I wish I could have them with me for all my travels from now on!!!"
"Every detail was taken care of so all we had to do was relax and enjoy ourselves."
"The meticulous attention to detail and personal service was unsurpassed.
Our trip was one of the best vacations we have taken, and absolutely stress-free!"

"Fred of Exploration Journeys must have his phone superglued to his hand because whenever we had a request he almost immediately responded-regardless of the time and day."
"Most impressive, however, was the reaction of Fred when we could have been stranded at one of our sites because of an airline strike. He immediately responded with effective action in finding flights for continuing our journey. It is not an overstatement that he saved the latter part of our vacation!"
"When one of our bags did not arrive in Iguazu, Fred was able to trace it immediately and arranged delivery to our hotel within a few hours."

TRIP REVIEW OF VERONIKA BRANDHUBER
"We were a group of three women that decided to go for two weeks to Argentina and hike in Patagonia. After a lot of research, we ended up choosing Fred and his company because he was simply the best. And we ended up having an amazing time. He was great from the beginning getting back to us quickly with all our new ideas, requests and change of plans. He took care of everything: flights, hotels, guides, transportation and he provided us with a booklet that contained all the information we needed with additional tips, suggestions, comments on restaurants, currency exchange, tips and so much more! If we would go back to Argentina we would most certainly reach out to him again!"

Navigating the Nahuel Huapi Lake & Exploring and Hiking at Victoria Island and the Myrtle Forest (with private guide and port transfers) Prepare to navigate the beautiful blue waters of the Nahuel Huapi Lake, the largest in Argentina’s Lake District, set against the backdrop of the snow-capped Andes mountain range. We’ll enjoy our exclusive seating in the boat’s upper deck cabin. From here we’ll experience superior panoramic views and a much more exclusive setting, since there are only 50 seats in this cabin (compared to the over-200-people capacity of the regular cabin). Known for its cold glacial waters and for being the habitat of kelp gulls and blue-eyed cormorants (which are typically only found near oceans), the Nahuel Huapi Lake provides plenty of natural beauty and beckons with the serenity of its waters. We’ll visit the largest island on the Nahuel Huapi Lake: Victoria Island, home to a wide array of flora and fauna; also offering plenty of history, including ancient cave paintings. Another highlight of this navigation includes a visit to a unique forest of myrtle trees at Arrayanes National Park. These intriguing, cinnamon-hued trees are known for their attractive, smooth and tan bark, peppered with white spots; and giving the forest a captivating mystique. It’s widely rumored that Walt Disney drew inspiration from this myrtle forest to create his animated classic ’Bambi’ but there’s actually no evidence to back up this claim. This is a long half day tour. You’ll have your own private guide to help you make the most out of your tour experience. Transfers to and from the port will be done on private basis. |
