Reviews & Testimonials

If it’s the “Wow Factor” you are seeking - look no further! This trip far exceeded my expectations - and they were pretty high to start with. Every day was packed with new and exciting sights and experiences, too many to list here! We were fortunate to have Pete with us throughout our 14 days, visiting Quito, Cotopaxi, and the Cloud Forest followed by 7 glorious days on the stunning Mary Anne brigantine yacht. Pete’s enthusiasm and knowledge of everything wildlife combined with that of our official guides, Diana, George and Collette made for a fabulous and fun trip. Don’t bother taking any books to read-“it’s not a holiday, it’s an experience!” . I returned bursting to tell friends and family all about it- and they all wanted to listen! Back on the website choosing my next trip organised and run by this amazing duo. Thank you so much Pete and Renee. You are a Top Team 👌

What a wonderful trip, since we got back we are telling our friends that it was one of the very best wildlife holidays we have ever experienced. Pete made sure we did not miss anything. Many thanks.

We had a fantastic trip from start to finish. Pete is such a knowledgeable and enthusiastic guide who ensured everyone had a great time. The places we stayed and the amazing sights and wildlife we saw were all excellent. A holiday of a lifetime!

Pete and Renee organised and delivered an amazing land trip to Ecuador and then on the Mary Anne in the Galápagos. Everywhere we stayed was perfect, the transport all worked. The guides, Diana and George in Ecuador and Collette in the Galápagos were brilliant. A particular highlight was staying at El Monte eco lodge - an absolute treat in this modern world- and yes I was open mouthed at the pulley bridge as Karens photo shows! Tom and Mariela were fabulous hosts.
I am glad that thanks to Collette I did snorkel with turtles, flightless cormorants and sharks! Who’d have thought it?
Five star plus holiday of a lifetime!

We recently returned from our second time traveling with Pete and our heads are still swimming with images of astonishing wildlife. We feel so tremendously fortunate to have experienced all the richness of the Pantanal thanks to his capable guidance. Pete is knowledgeable, skilled, passionate, energetic and lots of fun to be with. Having 30 sightings of wild jaguars along the river engaged in all types of behaviors was absolutely mind-boggling and Pete deserves plenty of credit for being patient and persistent and getting us to the right place at the right time. Jaguars were the highlight but there were high-quality encounters with so much more as well --- tapirs, giant river otters, birds, snakes, etc. It could not have been any more wildly extraordinary and we're keenly looking forward to going on another adventure with Pete. Much appreciation and gratitude also goes to Renee who so adeptly handled all of our changing travel logistics. Pete and Renee are a brilliant team! It doesn't get any better than this. Many thanks to both of you!
