Always a great experience We have been on multiple trips with Wilderness Travel and have always had great experiences. The guides are knowledgeable, friendly and go out of their way to make sure your trip goes smoothly. Many of our trips have been centered around hiking and we've always felt the itineraries were well thought out and appropriately challenging.

A diverse cultural experience A diverse cultural experience with a taste of 5 countries. Mostly easy hiking, but poles should be required and travellers should learn how to use them before they begin this trip.

Wilderness Travel: Great! But Always Room for Improvement We've taken five trips with Wilderness Travel (WT). That in itself is a review and recommendation. WT is great! But there's always room for improvement. Consider adding/planning more customized trips for those who want more flexibility than what is offered on fixed itineraries; eg. Raja Ampat offers nothing but snorkeling for 12 days. Must be other things to see and do. Trip leaders can make or break a trip. Keys to successful leadership are a passion for the place and subject matter with an equal measure of love for sharing it with the people/group on the trip. Some have it; others aren't as good at connecting with the people. Keep looking for great leaders and winnow out the ones that don't have their hearts in it.

Hiking in Cornwall: A typically wonderful WT trip. This Cornwall trip was my third WT trip in the UK and all of them have been first rate. The guides are gems, full of good cheer, incredible local knowledge, and uncommon generosity. Richard Bell designed this trip and has it planned to the finest detail. The schedule is wonderfully mixed, with cultural sessions blended in with the hiking. My wife especially appreciated the fact that we stayed 3-4 nights in each hotel. The coastal scenery is stunning. Our other WT trips were equally well-planned, beautiful and comfortable. We are signed up for two more next year!

All of the off ship tours were extra &… All of the off ship tours were extra & this was an expensive trip to begin with. Have been on other trips where only exceptional tours are extra. The ship itself & all the people on it were wonderful.
