Wow!!! What an incredible time we all had in Costa Rica! Our experience was so rich in every way.
Costa Rica is a breathtaking country, full of color, texture and beauty wherever you look. From hiking in the jungle, to walking along the sandy beaches, to cruising down the river to see wildlife; every view was spectacular. The monkeys, sloths, and birds did not disappoint! What a treasure to see them in their natural habitat!
The food we experienced was definitely some

This is my fourth trip with Active Adventures, and the first time with their partner company Austin Adventures. Just like Active, Austin Adventures didn’t disappoint! The booking process was very easy to navigate, the guides were all very attentive, and there was plenty of opportunities to explore through various activities such as hiking, biking, and kayaking. After the last year we’ve all had, it was great to finally be able to get back out and travel again, and having a company like Active/Austin Adventures plan out everything for you made the entire experience much less stressful and all that more enjoyable!

We really enjoyed our grandparent trip to Yellowstone National Park with our granddaughter Ella. This was our first experience with Austin Adventures. Our expectations were high and our guides exceeded these with excellent food, beautiful hikes and a tremendous vacation experience. Katie, Steve and Brooke were what made this trip spectacular. Their knowledge, preparation and guide skills were truly outstanding.

As a carry over to Austin Adventures from Active Adventures I am thrilled at the way Austin (and its guides) were so helpful when Active failed to complete my accommodations the first evening. Bryan and David saved me from having to walk to another hotel in the rain and Carrie for finding me a place to sleep for the night! This trip was BEYOND my wildest expectations and the guides WERE AMAZING!! I feel like another trip to Yellowstone is in my future plans for sure. Thank you for the most amazing week!

We had the best time. I know there were some changes due to Covid but I think the hotel and Restaurants in West Yellowstone were great and it gave us a chance to go to the Grizzly and Wolf Sanctuary during our free time. The guides were great. It was our third trip with Justin so we knew they would be exceptional. Danny and Sarah may be new to Austin but they were Awesome and knowledgeable as well. This was our 7th trip with Austin Adventures and Overall the trip was spectacular. There wasn't one thing I would change or try to improve. This is why we keep coming back.

This was a fabulous, well-curated trip. Covid made everything a little more challenging and I am pretty sure the guides were making many adjustments on the fly, but we were blissfully unaware. I feel like we saw the best of Yellowstone and had many experiences we would have missed if we had been trying to navigate this ourselves with a guidebook. It was so nice to just relax and take it all in without having to worry about any of the logistics.

Our original plans this year were to take the June 27th trip to Alberta, but of course Covid prevented that trip from running. One of the reasons why we initially chose that trip was due to the variety of activities on the Alberta itinerary - horseback riding, whitewater rafting, and snowshoeing across the icefields, in addition to hiking and biking. Admittedly, when we changed to the Bryce and Zion trip, we were concerned about the lack of variety of activities on this itinerary. All hiking and biking was not as appealing, but Bryce and Zion were definitely on our bucket list to get to at some point. Despite our reservations about the itinerary (specifically the lack of variety), we are really glad that we took this trip when we did. The parks were not overly crowded yet, and we did not have to worry about taking the shuttles since the vans were still allowed on the scenic byway. It was much more relaxing to take this trip on a group tour than try to see these parks on our own (especially Zion.) All in all, even though it was not our first choice for 2021, I feel like it worked out for the best, and we had a great opportunity to see 2 amazing parks (plus the Red Cliffs) before the heat and crowds really ramped up for the season.

I truly feel that the guides make the trip. Justin, Sarah and Danny were amazing! At first I was nervous about the trip having 15 guests, but Justin, Sarah and Danny did a wonderful job of keeping us all together. I was afraid it would be like herding cats but it was a great group of people and we always stayed together and on schedule.

I had hesitations about a guided group tour-esque vacation, but Austin Adventures truly exceeded each and every expectation - I wouldn't have wanted to do this trip without the wealth of knowledge and resources that Austin and my guides were able to provide.

This trip was brilliant. Admittedly the fantastic weather we encountered made it even more beautiful, but weather can't replace great people. The whole group was great and entertaining, but the Active Adventures guides Ellie and Elder made it very special. Nothing was too much trouble, their cooking was outstanding and general hospitality skills marvellous. They are a credit to the company and themselves.

From start to finish the trip was awesome. We went to Snow Canyon, saw the erosion and the limestone structures, then to Red Rock. We went to see the hoodoos at Bryce Canyon and we hiked amongst them seeing the Majesty of what mother nature can do. We hiked up Wall Street which really challenged my hiking skills, then we went to Zion, which was spectacular with the rugged cliffs and mountains all around you. Hiking up to the top of Angel's Landing with a spectacular view was awesome. We hiked The Narrows through the Virgin River which was a beautiful experience. I'm looking to book my next trip through Active Adventures. The guides were awesome, they couldn't be more professional, they took care of every little detail from meals to water on the hikes to making sure everyone was comfortable, to the accommodations. How the guides kept such a great attitude all the time I have no clue, but they sure do!

Impressed with oversight of guides,when husband got too warm one stayed with us cooled him and met him with Gatorade. I like the fluids provided after each hike or bike ride. Accommodations were excellent. Meals were excellent.
I lost black arm sleeve and new biking gloves, thought they might be with helmets. I have messaged Matthew D.

The trip was amazing! I had a blast and loved the hiking. I wish there was a little more biking for the amount of times that the guys had to bring down the bikes. I felt bad for them. That is why I gave it an 8 out of 10 instead of a 10/10.

This was my first real hiking trip. Austin Adventures came highly recommended by a work associate. It was simply beautiful. Steve and Matthew were awesome and knowledgeable about the formations and plant life and did anything they could to make my stay comfortable and enjoyable. I had a little emotional breakdown before trying to climb to Angel's Landing in Zion. Matthew quickly took charge and reassured me. Another hiker had fatigued quads and was challenged descending. He was extremely good at noting who was being challenged with different parts of the hike and kept them close to him providing minute by minute instruction. I honestly don't think he would encourage anyone to do a hike that was above their ability but wouldn't make them feel bad if they chose not to participate. I had borrowed a pair of hiking pants that were slightly too big and had forgot a belt. Steve came to the rescue with a bungee cord that worked beautifully for the day! The next day he showed up with a belt even in case I wore the pants again! They were also on time, made sure we stayed hydrated, and fulfilled needs before we were aware of them. The only thing that surprised me was the amount of talking and the noise of the walking sticks. I pictured serene hikes where I could think and enjoy nature.

I just returned from spending 8 days in Galapagos, and the trip far exceeded my expectations, high anyway thanks to my trip 3 years ago with Active Adventures to New Zealand. These islands truly are enchanted, and if you long to go somewhere truly unique and to disconnect from the normal rhythms of your life at home, this is the place to go. Stunning scenery, wildlife so tame you can converse with them up close and personal, fabulous food and comfortable hotels located at just the right places, and a guide (Pablo), to whom I am forever in his debt. His infectious enthusiasm about this magical place and its inhabitants, his gift for conveying a wealth of knowledge so that even I understood, his awareness of the needs and wants of each fellow traveler, and his smile. More than once I found my eyes welling up with tears with gratitude for being in this spot on the globe and being with him.
