"Our Halong Bay trip in November was absolutely PERFECT!  I don't know how we can ever beat this trip but I'm sure we will find something with Hidden Places that will entice us to travel soon."

It is hard to find words to describe our amazing Crossing the Antarctic Circle voyage. Our whole group is raving about the trip – for all of us the trip exceeded our high expectations. Thanks again for offering such a fantastic experience of a lifetime. 

If you want a travel experience where the owners have walked (or kayaked) the same paths before you, where the guides you meet know them personally, and the places you go are like none other, then choose Hidden Places. Hidden Places put me in a kayak in Croatia, in Kerala in south India, and amongst the seals, penguins and whales in Antarctica. Where to next?

This was our trip of a lifetime. We hope to go back to Africa as we are really missing these beautiful animals and feel really blessed to have been able to share their space for a short period of time.  

"We had an amazing time, and having the package put together by people who know the area, and tailored by the staff and the guide to our family turned it into a 100% successful trip, we saw everything we hoped for, and had an incredible trip."

Let me start off with thanking you for a great kayaking experience. We all enjoyed it tremendously and were sad that it had to come to an end. Your guide Dat did a great job and is clearly much more than yet another tour guide. 

Thanks so much for the wonderful organization and planning of our perfect Vietnam trip. I don't know how we can ever beat this trip but I'm sure we will find something with Hidden Places that will entice us to travel soon again.

My wife and I have enjoyed 4 fantastic trips with Hidden Places over the last 5 years - 3 of them led by Maria and Dag, whose skills, personalities and innate understanding of how to make every moment special is truly remarkable. 

You accepted my family with such enthusiasm and allowed the best bonding experience in 20 years. For this I thank you will all my heart and I know we will be back.

We can't think of a better way to immerse yourself into this rich and vibrant country than with a trip with Hidden Places. Maria and Dag have the adventure travel thing nailed down perfectly. We can't wait for our next adventure with them. 

"This trip was spectacular! The itinerary exposed us to beautiful sections of Namibia, and a wonderful variety of activities. The accommodations were luxurious and set in natural, conservation-oriented settings. Each lodge had distinct experiences to offer, with wonderful nature guides. Our time hiking and riding jeeps in the bush, seeing the Skeleton Coast from a small plane, kayaking on a lagoon, quietly watching wildlife at a water hole for hours, seeing the African sunsets and stars for the first time, and exploring brilliant red sand dunes---was transformative. This was truly the trip of a lifetime! Thank you! "

This carefully crafted itinerary took us to the most remarkable forests, restored villages, traditional Japanese inns, Shinto shrines, Buddhist temples and much more. Every meal was a work of art, the accommodations were outstanding, the trip execution was flawless and I couldn’t have asked for better travel companions. I’m already planning my next adventure with this phenomenal company!

“Hidden Places put together the trip of a life time for our group.  Sailing the Galapagos Islands was a step back in time, seeing species only found on the islands was magical.  Our sailing ship was a home away from home for two weeks,  with an amazing crew, a chef who provided us with 5-7 course meals and the best naturalist I have ever experienced.  A first class trip put together by a first class company.  Thank you for making my dream come true.” 

"It was an incredible trip, maybe our best ever. Your advice was spot on about which voyage and suite to choose, when to go and to do the the kayaking."

Let me start off with thanking you for a great kayaking experience. We all enjoyed it tremendously and were sad that it had to come to an end.

Every day was full of delightful surprises and every detail appreciated, from your accommodation choices to the food to the excursions. Since we have returned, many people have asked me what our tour company was and if I would recommend it for this and other trips; my answer is a resounding yes. Thank you.

My voyage to the Falklands, South Georgia and Antarctic Peninsula exceeded all my expectations: the ship and the crew were fantastic, we had great weather and landings and we saw an unbelievable amount of wildlife. The onboard lectures were really interesting, with a strong focus on science and history. The trip was awesome!

"Kayaking south of the Antarctic Circle, seeing marine life up close and personal, camping in a bivy sac on Horseshoe Island were all magical and my soul will never be the same. This was my fourth trip with Hidden Places, and I can't recommend them highly enough."

The trip of a lifetime!  Utterly breathtaking and amazing!  Thank you for creating such an extraordinary journey!

WOW WOW WOW!!! We were absolutely blown away by how fantastic this tour was! The walking was beautiful, interesting and diverse. Our local guide Akko was the perfect mix of organized, knowledgeable, friendly and accommodating, and we felt so cared for and safe the entire trip.

"Where do you start after a perfect trip? We did and saw more than our wildest dreams, with amazing scenery at every turn. The lodges chosen by Hidden Places made us wish we had a free day at each one, they were all amazing, so unique and so welcoming."
