2 weeks touring the different ecological areas of Costa Rica
Exploring by boat from tortueguero
Excellent. Very knowledgeable about everything and very informative. Obviously cares deeply about his country and its ecology. Kind and caring
This trip is not for you if you do not appreciate wildlife but for those who do, it is a delight
A fantastic week of snowshoeing. Awesome in the true sense of the word! Awesome hotel, awesome views, awesome walks and awesome guide Sara! We were lucky to arrive after a decent snow fall so we had 5 days snowshoeing in pristine snow with beautiful clear blue skies.
The whole trip was amazing and each walk inspirational in its own right. We loved the Narnia walk climbing up through the snow laden trees, Monte Piano summit had poignant moments as we thought about the WW1 trenches deep beneath the snow and the Wilderness walk up to Rossalmhutte had its own charm with views of a frozen waterfall. If I had to pick one, it would be the ridge walk combining 2 summits - Lutterkopf and Durakopf. The views were magnificent with the Dolomites to one side and the Austrian Alps the the other.
Sara was truly wonderful. She was so professional and knowledgeable and yet wonderfully caring at the same time. Her enthusiasm is infectious. She really cared about making sure we had a great holiday and looked after each and every one of us.
This is definitely a trip book if you're considering trying snowshoeing. The hotel is really comfortable with great food and spa facilities. Sara is a superb guide and the routes she takes you on are spectacular! If you enjoy mountain walking and like the snow it is a must!
Fabulous trip, well organised with a huge variety of places. We were well looked after by our gracious guide, Bop, his love of his home country was shared with intelligence and humour. It was a gruelling agenda, and would only recommend for fit people. We were a great group of 15, which gave us space to sleep on route in the bus, which we needed, many morning leaving our hotel at 7am. Last night at 2am…..
I can't say a moment, so much was inspirational. Just loved the tea growing area, the amazing mountains, neatly planted with plantations, and the lush tropical abundance of fruit and vegetables. The kind people who invited us into their homes and cooked us delicious feasts.
Our group leader, Bop, was informative, intelligent, and as already mentioned with a great sense of humour, we laughed so much. I could not praise him enough...
Take bug spray ( huge mosquitos and bites) and bleach wipes. The bathrooms and plumping are not for the faint hearted. We found better public toilets at our train station on our return to UK than any we experienced, including our hotel rooms. And I have lived in a sub tropical climate for the last 35 years! Take long sleeved shirts jand a hat against the sun. And most important good light weight walking shoes....
A great trip offering a very good insight into Vietnam, its culture and people. Very varied in terms of places visited.
Covered a lot in 2 weeks which meant it was quite hectic at times and lots of early starts.
Loved the cruise on Halong Bay - it was the most scenic part of the holiday. Also thoroughly enjoyed overnight stay at the Homestay. The house we stayed at was delightful and the surrounding area very peaceful and serene. Also enjoyed the cycle rides through the paddy fields and to the local market.
Hai was a great guide. Nothing too much trouble for him. Recommended some great restaurants and eating places including street cafes and local eateries. Offered a good range of optional excursions and activities but never pushed them on us. Had a great sense of humour and bonded well with our group.
Travel as light as you can as there are several opportunities to get laundry done very cheaply by local people (our guide arranged this in Hue and Hoi An). Take dollars with you (especially 1 dollar notes) as they are accepted almost every where (even by the laundry people) and are often preferred to dong.
This was our first group cycling holiday and our first trip with Exodus and it did not disappoint. The cycling is really well planned with great backup and the places we visited combined to give us a varied taste of this unique and fascinating country. We found ourselves in great company – the group really gelled and we had a ball.
The views in the Sierra Maestre, the most challenging cycling day - reward for our effort; the atmosphere of Trinidad at sundown and the music, the people and sights by the roadside throughout the trip, the walk in the forest on day 10, snatched swims in pools and the sea and the fabulous evening out in Havana that rounded off an unforgettable holiday
Angel was just the best - calm and kind, managing all the unknowns one encounters in Cuba expertly.His insights into life in Cuba were comprehensive, and utterly fascinating - history and facts of course but always delivered with personal anecdotes and in a funny and insightful manner. We all loved him.
Talk yourself out of using WiFi any more than is absolutely essential - it's frustrating, expensive and hard to come by. Have a break! Also, as Exodus advise, if you want snacks of any kind or hydration additives do take them as there is very little available, same goes for suncream - basically take all you need with you and don't rely on shopping .
We choose the bird watching guide holiday and we saw over 200 bird species as well as animals, reptiles and butterflies. The guide was amazing at spotting birds and other wildlife and indicating to the group.
Lodges were great and food tasty and often local.
The minibus and driver made the journey and we had WiFi almost continuously on the bus!
Seeing the Resplendent Quetzal bird in Saverge
Very knowledgeable and inspirational
Be aware that if the bird watching trip is chosen that there is little opportunity for other activities at most locations
This is a great introduction to South Africa. The trips are varied with optional activities available. The scenery is stunning and the minibus is comfortable and air conditioned. We tried the zip lining which was well worth experiencing.
The restaurants were excellent and we ate far too much, regretting it a bit now! Our accommodation was very comfortable and most had fantastic views.
It is hard to pick one moment as I loved it all. Seeing the animals in Addo NP, visiting Robben Island and listening to an ex political prisoner describing his experiences, and being on Table Mountain were all unforgettable moments.
Justin was a brilliant guide who worked hard to ensure everyone had a wonderful holiday. He was knowledgeable, good fun and helpful.
Be aware that the weather can can be very changeable. We had rain, wind, hail, lightening and hot sun. Some activities may have to be cancelled due to reasons beyond the control of Exodus. We were glad that we stayed an extra day in Cape Town and toured the town on the open top bus.
This trip had everything I was looking for, fantastic location with a 360degree mountain panorama, classic Norwegian lodge accommodation, healthy yet plentiful food and great leaders.
The leaders were effective at developing our skills, in a fun way, yet appreciating we are on holiday. Once our skills were developed we were taken to some fantastic off the beaten track locations. I have never had so many ‘wow’ moments and taken to lunch spots to die for!
The ‘apres’ ski was varied too, a combination of informative talks, films, a fun quiz and slide show of the weeks pics.
Fantastic trip!
Climbing to a high point up a frozen waterfall and having the most amazing, unspoilt views and no one else in sight!
Amazing. Helpful, knowledgeable, patient, informative, caring, effective.
Take a range of clothing because it can either be really warm or really cold. Take a thermos Flask - hot drinks are essential. You don't need to take a lunch box as plastic bags and cling film are made available.
This was the first time I have travelled with Exodus and I was very impressed. I have travelled with other small-group adventure companies in the past, but I have to say for smooth, efficient organization, quality of hotels, and quality of tour leader, Exodus is probably the best. I was also very impressed with the quality of the bikes that were provided.
Cycling around the Angkor Wat site was magical. Cycling along the back roads of the Mekong Delta and being greeted by a chorus of hellos and frenzied waving from small children was definitely one of the highlights of the trip.
Chai was wonderful. He was very organized and kept us informed at all times. He was also patient, kind, encouraging, and thoroughly likeable.
Bring gel seats or better still, your own bicycle seat that is good for long distances. The bikes are excellent, but the seats are uncomfortable for long distances.
I consider myself to be fit but do not underestimate the final ascent/descent…… it is extremely hard work. We completed in 9.25 – hindsight tells me we should have gone slower as I had a pounding headache and was exhausted at the end. It doesn’t help that you then have another walk in the afternoon to cope with ! The walking prior to the ascent was a breeze if that helps ! The organisation was excellent but be prepared for very early nights and then being wide awake early on … food was first class and plenty of it. We were lucky with the weather (Feb) I would not want to walk Kilimanjaro in the rain and wind. Good luck
It should have been reaching the summit but I was too exhausted to be inspired by it - the views at sunrise however are absolutely incredible and the clear skies filled with stars at night
He was very motivating
When you begin the ascent, half the pace you are comfortable with .... I didn't take diamox and think my headache was caused by the hood of my jacket rather than altitude- make sure your clothing is comfortable before you start as you will be too cold to adjust it
