What to Look For in Nature Tour Reviews

Most trip reviews tend to focus on some or all of these 5 key areas, not all of which may be relevant to you: the tour guide, travel company, service level, country or countries traveled in, and the trip itinerary.

Remember, just because you see a 1 star review doesn’t necessarily mean that person disliked the country.

Depending on the traveler, a “nature” adventure may be something new to them. Especially if the sound of hiking/camping sounds awful, you may be questioning if a nature trip is something you should go on. There are some surprising parts, such as limited cell phone service in some areas.

Luckily, even in the mountains, most lodges/hotels generally have some sort of internet connection, so you’re not entirely out of touch. When dealing with the outdoors, unpredictable weather can change your itinerary. A good reminder is this can happen on any trip, regardless of the destination. 

Overall, many people were beyond pleased with their nature tour. The world has so many awesome landscapes, it’s incredible to get out of the city life and see what nature has to offer. For people who went to New Zealand, everywhere you turned, there was beauty. From the helicopter ride over glaciers to ride a boat through Milford sound, to hiking the coastal walk, and the rolling hills of the North Island, the view was consistently amazing. Many people noted that even with a several week long trip, the scenery was so spectacular, they wanted to go back on another trip.

This seems to be the overall theme of nature trips. Sure, two weeks doing nature things may seem long, but the awesome part of nature is no two days are ever the same. Sunrises and sunset change daily. You’ll experience different weather and capture different views. This is especially apparent for those who do nature trips involving animals.

Safaris are incredible for this reason. You can spend a week long doing game drives every day, and no drive will ever be the same. You’ll see different animals displaying different types of behaviors. You may run into elephants six different times on one game drive, but each time, it’s spectacular. You’re always on the lookout, and there is never a guarantee you’ll see a particular animal, so every encounter is a pleasant surprise.

As if you needed another reason to go on a nature adventure, but in case you do, nature trips often bring new points of views. You can sit on the beach and look at the ocean, or you can see mountains in the distance or from a scenic overlook. Or you could be hiking the mountain, or paddle boarding in the water, seeing the scenery from a different perspective. On top of that, you get to spend the time enjoying the area.

There are plenty of nature tours for people to choose from, so if you’re looking for rainforests, beaches, or mountains, you’re sure to find an adventure. Some tours may even offer all three!

Caradonna made it so easy for us to enjoy the most amazing adventure in Fiji aboard the Nai'a. Before we even got off the boat, we were trying to plan when we could come back! April with Caradonna took care of everything from flights to hotels to all boat details and helped us all along the way even up to the day we flew out to Fiji.

As someone who works on charter boats in the UK, the level of maintenance on the charter here was dreadful.

Door to aft cabin was stuck locked. Ha to go through heads to get into room

Hot water didn't work until th last day

BBQ bracket was broken so the BBQ fell over when trying to use it

Helm hydraulics leaked all over th deck and the person driving

No seats for table on deck. All other boats had chairs

Light not working in starboard aft cabin

Water Pump constantly running

I'd been looking for several days for a cheap flight from Berlin to LA without any overnight or inordinately long layovers. I'd never heard of this site, but somehow it popped up and--boom!--the perfect flight for the lowest price I'd seen anywhere. I booked immediately and got my confirmation the next day. Everything looks to be in order!

I’ve had the pleasure of traveling with ACIS both as a trip leader and a chaperone. The experiences, opportunities, and accommodations provided by ACIS are unparalleled. I’ve traveled to half a dozen countries with them, and they have never ceased to impress. We even had our tour manager make a mid-trip schedule adjustment to visit a 13th century castle that wasn’t even a part of our itinerary. ACIS recognizes the significance of international travel and makes sure that everyone, from students to chaperones, has a life changing experience they will never forget.

Last year my daughter traveled with ACIS and, from a parent’s perspective, I could not have been happier with the process. She had a wonderful time-saw so many things as they made their way from England to France to Germany and made some tremendous friends along the way. What impressed me the most was how easy and comfortable ACIS made us through the whole process. We always knew what to expect, had all of our questions answered in a prompt manner, and never for a moment felt uncertain as we sent our daughter away to another continent. I was also impressed with how all of the hotels were in the city centers of their destinations. For example, her hotel in Paris was just a couple blocks from the Arc de Triompfe-that allowed them to see so much more.

Great hotels, restaurants and tour managers.
Hotels are centrally located, restaurants served local food and TM Jo was amazing.
Fantastic support throughout the trip, before departure and during travel.

Students really enjoyed the cultural connections of cheese tasting in Normandy and Cezanne workshop in Aix-en-Provence.

Liz Rees is great to work with, extremely helpful and very responsive! She thoroughly helped me create a fantastic custom itinerary!

ACIS is the best! I have traveled with them on multiple occasions and they take care of everything start to finish. Whether it’s meal planning for travelers with allergies, or hotel requests, they always go out of their way to make sure travelers’ needs are met. One of the many benefits of traveling with ACIS is that they put you up in high quality hotels right near the city center. As opposed to being on the outskirts of town in a potentially risky area, you are always placed in an urban center within walking distance of cultural destinations and places to eat. If you are thinking of traveling by yourself or with a group, ACIS is definitely the right choice. There is something for nearly everyone, and you know what you’re getting from the very beginning. You’ll never get surprised by an additional charge for something that should be included in the first place, it’s all laid out for you in the itinerary. I can’t wait to travel with them again soon!

We wanted to go to a resort that bundled Scuba diving, lodgings and meals. The rooms were nice, clean with prompt housekeeping. The meals provided were choices of three and were amazing. The diving experience were of the bucket list!! The dive master and crew provided us an exceptional experience! We highly recommend the Garden Island Resort
