  • A well organized sailing trip in a beautiful area although the boat needed some work. The skipper was very competent and cautious, and also a good chef. G's commitment to sustainable tourism and great itineraries

    Michael Oct, 2024 Verified

  • Get a new sailboat or do some maintenance. The skipper Daniel was fantastic. The islands and ports were beautiful. Outstanding sailing adventure. Boat was terrible. It leaked from the windows (not the ones that could be opened) and my mattress was saturated as was my pillow and comforter.

The tour operator is Planeterra's largest corporate donor, ensuring 100% of donations go directly to projects.

  • What general safety tips should I follow during my free time?

    It is recommended to use a neck wallet or money belt for valuables and leave valuable jewelry at home. Many hotels have safety deposit boxes. A lock for luggage is advised. When exploring cities at night, it's recommended to stay in small groups and take taxis. Avoid protests and demonstrations, leaving the area immediately if encountered.
