What travelers are saying

"I can honestly say that joining the GVI Turtle and Lemon Shark Conservation Project was the best thing I have ever done. It is an experience I will value for the rest of my life. Right from the very beginning with the field manual I knew this trip was going to be amazing but nothing can prepare you for how stunning it is. I remember one day, I was chilling in the hammock before dinner when I saw a juvenile Lemon Shark and a ray. I called everyone and we watched the shark almost beach itself on a few occasions. However the best experience for me was when I was lucky enough to see not 1 or 2 but 3 Hawksbill Turtles lay their eggs all in one day. It was magical. The staff were so knowledgeable and were always happy to help. I have learnt to cook food for 25 people with very limited cooking equipment and ingredients, loved every Friday BBQ night and made friends for life."

What travelers are saying

"I was very excited to support a Canadian company, but unfortunately, this trip was anything but blissful. The tour guide was unprofessional, incompetent, and inappropriate. He was reported in the middle of the trip because of how vulgar he was being with the girls on the tour. Guided tours are supposed to be a haven for young, solo travelers and, unfortunately, this tour was the nightmarish opposite. If you plan on booking a trip with this company, please dig into who your guide will be, how many trips they have done, and what kind of reviews they have had. Additionally, the accommodations, activities, and transportation included in this trip cost a sliver of what I paid. I completely understand the additional cost of paying the full-time guides, and the price of convenience that comes from a trip being planned for you, but unfortunately, I did not get my money’s worth with LBW. Following my friends and my dissatisfaction with the tour and the inappropriate guide, LBW’s customer support team was unfortunately slow to respond, disorganized, and inconsistent with their suggested solutions. Please, save your money, and book with another company."

"I loved my 2013 trip to Africa!!! The itinerary rocked as did the accommodations. It fulfilled my expectations beyond my wildest dreams come true. Returning to Africa in 2015 as I loved it very much. Probably will squeeze Costa Rica this year!!!"

What travelers are saying

"Remote Lands created an extraordinary adventure for my daughter and me. Its team delivered the highest level of service and attention to the smallest of details. Our two weeks in Thailand were filled with an expansive array of cultural, culinary, shopping, athletic, environmental, and even spiritual experiences. Our trip was curated to meet a precise and demanding set of expectations; and Remote Lands surpassed those expectations in every way. In Bangkok, we visited amazing temples and were invited to participate in sacred ceremonial blessings, toured artist colonies, visited the flower district, learning about floral design and lunching with artisans, dined at the highest-end restaurants as well as out-of-the way places frequented by locals. In Chiang Mai, our visit to an elephant sanctuary was sublime, as were private culinary classes, complete with shopping at the local out-door market, and later hiking amidst glorious water falls. In Phuket, we enjoyed days of sailing, snorkeling, and windsurfing excursions, as well as much-needed pampering and spa services. At each venue, our luxury accomadations wowed. Equally, or perhaps even important to this dream experience, were the Remote Lands our personal expert guides, all so convivial and congenial; they provided in-depth cultural and historical perspective, as well as VIP access at every turn. I could not recommend Remote Lands more highly."
