Customer reviews & ratings
It was the holiday I needed when I needed it. I actually did recommend g to my cousin a few weeks ago so that's a 100% chance
Andrew Sep, 2025 VerifiedThe trip was in my opinion spoilt by the lack of enthusiasm from our tour leader His lack of interest in Sailing for example meant we only sailed for a few hours and motored for most of the trip. not what i was expecting. He delivered a very sketchy safety briefing, no mention of life jackets, which one of the group only discovered on the last day hidden in theircabin However i had a great time as the group bonded over our difficulties and made the best of the opportunities offered G Adventures offer trips that are good value for money, that means they are cheaper than other adventure companies, however the trip may not go as planned and there is little support for you when you are away travelling. When things go wrong head office is a long way away. However the trips are ideal for someone wanted to explore of the beaten track in a safe group environment.
