We thoroughly enjoyed our Orca Trip hosted by Grace and Rob on behalf of the tour operator. We found both guides to be knowledgeable and personable. We especially appreciated Grace's commentary during our hike through the woods where she encouraged us to hike in silence for a bit to be mindful of the forest and to meditate while walking along. Great feeling of connectedness to our natural surroundings.
NATIONAL PARKS OF THE WEST This was definitely the holiday of a lifetime! Highlight after highlight as we covered 2,200 miles visiting some of America's most stunning national parks. Our young Californian guide Collin bubbled with enthusiasm and energy and looked after us brilliantly and it was a great group of fellow travellers, all keen to make the most of the opportunities on offer, including hiking, horse-riding, jeep tours and canyoneering.
I selected the Caldera trip because it was at a location I have not yet visited; because it included hiking which I enjoy doing weekly and because it included other adventures that I have never tried such as rope course and ziplining, white water rafting, and a trail ride. The level/ physical requirements for this trip was spot on for both the hikes and the other adventures. I really enjoyed the extra elements of education from the guides. The education from the guides on wildlife and plant and thermal features were second only to the views!
