“The Explorer’s Passage did an extraordinary job in putting together our Iceland expedition. Our group spent 7 days exploring Iceland and it was one of the best experiences of my life. The trip was very well organized, full of adventure, and provided us the opportunity to make lifelong friends with the other team members. I highly recommend that you travel with this company!”

“My family and I went to Peru and hiked the Inca trail to Machu Picchu everything from the porters, the food and our guide was outstanding. Our guide was very knowledgeable about the Incas and provided historical information that was very interesting. The hike was amazing and the Andes mountains are unbelievably beautiful. I highly recommend this company for all your expectations.“

“My wife and I just got back from Patagonia after completing the W Trek that Explorers Passage had arranged for us. From our first contact with Jeff Bonaldi to our last transfer, our experience was stellar. Jeff guided us through the rather complicated logistics and was very responsive to concerns before and during the adventure. His focus was always on how to make the adventure memorable not on the bottom line for his company. I rarely write reviews but felt compelled to do so because our experience was beyond 5 stars.”
