What travelers are saying
"I have travelled with ROW numerous times, including four trips on the Rogue River. Every trip has been wonderful and every person associated with ROW has been nice, knowledgeable, professional and fun. The Rogue is a great river and the trip is an excellent one for two people or a large group—and I have done both. I’ve taken both of my kids, one time each, and have organized groups of colleagues twice; most recently in 2019 when 14 of us gathered. The guides at ROW are great and help to make the trip very enjoyable. The scenery, lodging and the wonderful outdoors including warm air and refreshing water, make for a wonderful escape from the everyday routine. The fact that this trip offers beds and indoor plumbing is a nice benefit and allows those who have an aversion to camping a chance to see the wilderness. I have recommended ROW and the Rogue trip more times than I can count and my group has already reserved our trip for 2021. What are you waiting for?"

What travelers are saying
"This is my third trip with Southern Explorations and they have all been great. Communications and planning is always well managed. Kaitlyn was really knowledgeable and easy to work with for planning this last trip to Machu Picchu in March. Kaitlyn listened to us and planned the right experiences and accomodations for us. Our Sacred Valley/Machu Picchu guide - Jose Luis is one of the BEST guides we've ever had. His knowledge, passion and energy around everything Inca and Sacred Valley is amazing. He's also a super personable and thoughtful on the needs/interests of his clients. We really enjoyed our time spent with Jose Luis (and Robert our driver). We left Peru with our minds full of Inca history, impact and traditions."

"At the last minute I had to rebook my trip to the Galapagos. Damon and staff were very helpful. My son and I had Markus Medina for a guide and he was knowledgeable-even being asked by other tour guide to help out! It was amazing to have a tour group of 3-so much flexibility. The islands were so beautiful with friendly people. I plan to return to South America and will definitely use Andean Discovery again."
