This tour ran pretty much seamlessly thanks to our lovely guide Silong. The restaurants all served fantastic food and catered for everyone. The stays were good, transfers on time and the packed itinerary meant we saw a lot. We had a good group who enjoyed ourselves enormously.

I absolutely loved this trip! It was a great combination of a holiday, citizen science, alongside awesome wildlife encounters. It was also clear that making a difference to the community was central to the ethos of the trip, and we were delighted to support such terrific, kind and dedicated local people on Mafia island. We had such fun and also loved being able to directly get involved in protecting whale sharks and coral reef, even in just a small way. THANK YOU!

We enjoyed our trip very much. Eunice made sure we had great vegan food every day while touring Madrid and Barcelona. Gorana and Davor were delightful as tour guides of the primary sites. Rooms were on the small side, but locations were excellent. Thanks for hosting!

This was the most incredible trip. Stunning scenery, bountiful wildlife, beautiful camping spots, fabulous food and an amazing group of women (not forgetting the equally amazing staff). There were lots of special little touches along the way as well. I cannot recommend it highly enough.

A great experience with great people - giving back/volunteering and the school visit were highlights for me as well as the sightseeing. Would definitely recommend to others. Jane went to extra mile when I hate Visa issues and this was sorted very efficiently - it got a wee bit stressful having my visa rejected and not understanding why.
