Nelly Ng and Boon Hong Teo and Family

(Singapore)

"We're a family of four who just returned from a 12-day tour with Exploration Journeys. It was excellent in every way."

"All of the guides were locals who had excellent depth of knowledge and had experience far beyond their tourism jobs. We came away feeling that we were leaving not just guides, but new friends."

"In the mid of the tour, we had a flight delayed and subsequently cancelled due to heavy storm in Buenos Aires, but Fred was fast and took preventive measures to inform us early in the morning at 4 AM, checking possible alternative plans and booking us the needed flights to secure availability, even way before our original flight was cancelled."

"We highly recommend Exploration Journeys for the trip of a life-time."

Nelly & Boon Hong visited: Buenos Aires, El Calafate, Ushuaia and Iguazu Falls.

TRIP REVIEW OF NELLY NG AND BOON HONG TEO AND FAMILY

"We're a family of four who just returned from a 12-day tour with Exploration Journeys. It was excellent in every way; we chose which cities we would like to visit and preferred duration of the tour.

The itinerary was well planned and supported by Fred & his team behind the scenes and making sure we had everything we needed or wanted along the way: we felt coddled!

Argentina Exploration Journeys was not only outstanding but deserved an extra-ordinary review. We booked our international flights, and they took care of the rest - hotels, transfers, in-country air including seat selection, private and small-group tours and most importantly - local guides. Everything was well-done, and we felt that we not only hit all the tourist sites that were important to us, but that we also were exposed to the "real" people and lives in Argentina.

All of the guides were locals who had excellent depth of knowledge and had experience far beyond their tourism jobs. We came away feeling that we were leaving not just guides, but new friends.

We cannot recommend Fred & his team more! I was slightly nervous about visiting Argentina with the current inflation and having to fly 36 hours to Argentina from our country in Far East but I assure you there is absolutely nothing to be worried about! We felt completely safe and in the hands of professionals at all times.

We have never done this before, we are independent travelers who usually rent a car, find our own lodging, etc. But Argentina is different and Exploration Journeys made it so easy! This took away all the stress.

In the mid of the tour, we had a flight delayed and subsequently cancelled due to heavy storm in Buenos Aires, but Fred was fast and took preventive measures to inform us early in the morning at 4 AM, checking possible alternative plans and booking us the needed flights to secure availability, even way before our original flight was cancelled. This was crucial action to solve the issue in order to minimize disruption on our original itinerary.

But once again, Fred & his team never failed to impress us with their responsive, high-efficiency and professionalism. Not only our trip was perfect, we got to enjoy the extra night at our favorite city with an additional tour, which we greatly appreciated.

We also loved the Travel Booklet with all the information of the tour: pick-up time, local contact, hotel facilities and good restaurant recommendations in each city.

I believe they're not the cheapest tour operator around, but choice of accommodation & quality of services already surpasses what we have paid for.

We highly recommend Exploration Journeys for the trip of a life-time."

This full-day trip will see you trekking through lush forests and azure-tinted lagoons. And, for the grand finale: a sweeping view of massive Mount Fitz Roy and Laguna de los Tres (Lagoon of the Three Peaks). This famous lagoon takes its name from the three peaks that can be seen from the shore: Fitz Roy, Poincenot, and Saint-Exupéry. This last granite giant was, in turn, named after famous French writer Antoine de Saint Saint-Exupéry, best remembered for his classic ’The Little Prince’.

We’ll also trek to one of the favorite spots of many photographers: Laguna Capri, where you’ll have the opportunity to capture amazing images of crystal blue waters with the dramatic backdrop of the Andes mountain range.

The park’s vast size not only gives it the distinction of being the largest ice mantle in the world after Antarctica, but also that of being the third largest fresh water reserve on the planet.

Now, picture yourself strapping on your ice spikes, as you begin trekking along this ice giant on a full-day discovery journey along one of the few glaciers in the world, which is actually growing and advancing.

A Trekking and Canoeing Adventure at the Ends of the Earth

Prepare for a journey to the Ends of the Earth, as we embark on an unforgettable tour to Tierra del Fuego National Park, located in Ushuaia, the southernmost city in the world! With 63,000 hectares of land this National Park is larger than the city of Chicago! You’ll encounter some of the most pristine and beautiful scenery nature has to offer, while experiencing the uniquely remote feeling of truly being at the ends of the Earth.

Our expert guide will help you discover the hidden wonders of the Tierra del Fuego National Park, including its enchanting lakes, forests, lush vegetation, and wildlife as you surround yourself in the peaceful serenity of nature.
We’ll trek the coastal path (one of the most beautiful areas in the entire National Park) and then embark on a canoeing expedition downriver and across clear water streams while experiencing the calming breeze and breathtaking landscapes.

We’ll set off to explore the mighty Beagle Channel: the same waters navigated by the first founders of Ushuaia and by adventurous explorers the likes of naturalist Charles Darwin. As we follow this route in our canoes, we’ll feel both a sense of freedom and isolation from civilization, taking us back to a time when the Yamana tribe inhabited this distant corner of the planet.

We’ll also make a brief stop at Martillo Island where, from our boat, we’ll have the opportunity to observe a colony of Magellanic penguins.

Our final destination will take us off-the-beaten-path and onto the remote, uninhabited Gable Island; the largest island in the Beagle Channel.

DAY 11: IGUAZU

Witness the Unique Power & Might of the Iguazu Falls from the Argentine Side (private tour)

“You might have seen the photos. Even read about it. You might have visited other great waterfalls before. But you probably still have no idea what to expect when you come face to face with the almighty Iguazu Falls,†stated CNN in their article “Iguazu Falls: Why this natural wonder should be on everyone’s bucket list". To put that into perspective, Iguazu Falls is nearly twice as tall as Niagara Falls and nearly three times as wide. The late U.S. First Lady, Eleanor Roosevelt, was reportedly so impressed by the sight of Iguazu Falls that she exclaimed “Poor Niagara!â€

In 1984, Iguazu Falls became a UNESCO World Heritage Site; and in 2011, it was selected as one of the 7 winners of the “New Seven Wonders of Nature†worldwide competition in which more than 100 million votes were cast.

Their size and scale are unlike any other waterfall on Earth. Made up of a system of 275 waterfalls, they have a staggering water flow of up to almost 3.5 million gallons (13 million liters) per second – enough to fill five Olympic swimming pools!

Unlike Niagara Falls, which is surrounded by developments such as casinos, a revolving restaurant, and coffee shops, Iguazu Falls are located within one of the few remaining inland rainforests in South America, the Atlantic rainforest, which is a haven for more than 2,000 plant species, about 400 birds species, and 80 types of mammals!

This is a full-day private tour.

A Speedboat Adventure Up-Close the Iguazu Falls

Get ready for a thrilling speedboat adventure, enjoying a unique, up-close perspective of the majestic Iguazu Falls and experience a different viewpoint of the falls from what you’ll see from the panoramic boardwalks. Our speedboat will zip the waters of the Iguazu River and approach the falls getting thoroughly splashed by their mist as you hear their loud roar!

This ride provides a unique and extremely close-up view of the San Martin and Three Musketeers falls with the opportunity to take outstanding close-up photos. The high point of this experience will be without a doubt, being showered under the mist of the San Martin Falls; the second strongest falls in the Iguazu system. To get to the boat dock you’ll ride a truck through the jungle and continue with a navigation up the Iguazu River canyon by the river rapids. Now it’s time to hop on board and begin our waterfall adventure!

This tour lasts about 2 hours and is done on the same day you do the Argentine side of the falls tour.
This tour has an age restriction (click on tour name above for details).

DAY 12: IGUAZU

Behold the Breathtaking Panoramic Views of Iguazu Falls from the Brazilian Side (private tour)

With 80% of the falls located on the Argentine side, it is only from the Brazilian side that one can see almost all of them at once, in full, breathtakingly panoramic views.

The Brazilian side offers majestic scenic views of the beauty and entirety of the falls; this is because the Brazilian footbridge lies across the river from the falls, offering a unique perspective and epic scenic views, making the Brazilian side different and absolutely complementary to the experience from the Argentine side.

This is a half-day private tour.



Walking Among Exotic Birds in the Iguazu Rainforest (private tour)

You’re about to enter a one-of-a-kind bird sanctuary! Here you’ll find the largest colony of toucans on display in the world, as well as the largest colony of parrots on display in South America, along with 150 different bird species from Brazil and all over the world, many of them endangered.

Located in the midst of the lush tropical rainforest, Foz Tropicana Bird Park is an internationally-recognized rescue and preservation center for endangered birds; and it’s among the most important ones in South America. You’ll find yourself side by side a myriad of exotic birds, in the three walk-in aviaries, where you’ll have the opportunity to have an up-close and personal experience with amazingly colorful parrots and Toco Toucans, among many other birds… all of them right next to you or even flying over your head!

In addition to the diversity and beauty of the birds you’ll see, the park itself presents itself as a unique location. It covers nearly 40 acres (16 hectares) of rainforest, so you’re quite literally going to find yourself in the middle of nature as you make your way along the trails!

This visit lasts about an hour and a half to two hours and takes place on the same day as your Brazilian side of the falls tour.

DAY 13: LAST DAY IN IGUAZU

Transfer in private vehicle to Iguazu airport.

Buenos Aires

DAY 13: YOU ARRIVE IN BUENOS AIRES

Fred Schejtman — Founder & Owner

Over 20 years ago, I set out to build a travel company that would redefine what “worry-free travel” really means, where every guest feels cared for as if they were part of our family, and every detail runs seamlessly.
