Bali & Beyond 2010 - Beach Travellers never fails to impress. Everything is always well thought out; accommodation, activities, restaurants for group dinners and transportation. The trip to Bali provided you with countless opportunities to experience pieces of Balinese culture; from food, to temples, watching people in traditional dress line the streets for ceremonies, bartering in the art market and of course along the streets in Kuta. Along with the sights and culture you are provided with two knowledgeable guides, who can answer your endless questions and provide warning about customs (temple dress) and dangers (thieving monkeys). This trip went off without a hitch, and having a smaller group allowed for a more intimate experience. I could not manage a complaint about the company and the travel experiences they provide. Thanks a bunch for another fantastic experience!

Thailand 2010 - What can I say - this trip has simply been amazing. Everything has been super smooth with no real bumps in the road except for those that you cant plan for ie: ferry to kho phangan (sorry, my spelling is a bit off at 6am - lol) being pushed back 2 hrs. All the guesthouses and bunglaows were fantastic and their locations perfect, the staff warm and welcoming with open arms and all of us left each place feeling like we were family. Mel and Heart have everything under such good control and knew exactly what they were doing that no one ever felt anything but totally confident and sure of the groups next steps. Full Moon was as insain as it should have been but with out any drama and I even overcame some of my water fears and got to experience the sunning underwater world of Kho Lipe (with the thanks of Heart holding my hand as I snorkled - that man is a true GEM!). Trains, longs tails, speed boats, buses, tuk tuks and all, its been one fantastic day after another. Made incredilbe new friends, saw amazing places and will again and with no questions asked, travel with the BT team again Sad to leave but the next adventure is just around the corner :)

Costa Rica Surf Camp 2010 - Travelling to Costa Rica with Beach Travellers surpassed my expectations by far. I have travelled to many countries both by myself and with groups. While both options have their advantages, I feel that Beach Travellers offers the best of both worlds: they find great accommodations & interesting locations and arrange all transport, while offering flexibility to explore on your own and tailor your trip to suit your interests. The surf lessons were fun and there were always additional activities to try such as horseback riding, ziplining, ATVing, etc. If you wanted to chill on the beach or explore the town on your own, that was cool too! It was very laid back; no obligations. I would like to say a big thanks to our guides Mitch Martin and Taylor Aikins, as well as the cameraman Ben Rochette, who helped make the trip the fantastic experience it was. Fabulous people, great food & tons of fun. I have no complaints! If you're on the fence as to whether or not you should go -- just do it. You won't regret it. I can't wait until my next trip next summer! Pura Vida!

Costa Rica Surf Camp 2010 - This was the by far the best trip I have ever been on. Im going to miss everything about it-the heat, the food, the beaches, the costa rican lifestyle, and definitely the amazing group and unreal guides. So many laughs and good times that I could have never left. The setup of the trip was perfect, being laid back but with so much to do so we were able to make the trip exactly how we wanted it. I would absolutely recommend this trip to anyone and I can't wait for my next one with you guys. Thanks for the wicked time!

Thailand 2010 - This trip was utterly amazing. I was afraid to go to asia and this trip is great little introduction to fully understand how awesome it actually is and how easy it would be just do it on your own afterwards. I met so many amazing people not only from the group but others as well. The guides where fun and awesome people. I was worried the longer trip would be to long for me but i realized if i had gone on it it probably still wouldn't have been long enough. The 24 day's I spent in Thailand where probably some of the best 24 day's of my life. This trip definitely put me out of my element for style of trip that i am used to but I so glad I did it. Everyone I met and everything I did will be with me forever and I cannot wait to go back. What is even more amazing about it is if I decided to back I know I will have people there to hangout with because that is just how awesome the guides are! I miss you guys!

Costa Rica Travel 2010 - This trip was great. Great waves, awesome sun, the food was amazing. this trip had everything, zip lining through a cloud forest to quading through the jungle, and surfing a couple days. there was always something to do, even the days that it rained all day were great. would go again in a heart beat.

Thaïlande 2010- Incroyable...Magique...Invraissemblable...féérique...complètement fou...Il n'y a pas assez de mots qui peuvent exprimer ce qu'on ressent après avoir voyagé avec Beach Travellers. Ils ont été bien au delà de mes espérances. Si j'avais été en Thailande seule avec mon back-pack, je n'aurais jamais pu faire toutes les activités folles et voir tous ces endroits paradisiaques que j'ai vu avec BT en un mois. Les guides sont énergiques, terre-à-terre, passionés et nous transmettent cette passion pour le voyage et la découverte de nouveaux horizons. Voyager avec Beach Traveller a vraiment été une révélation pour moi et c'est certain que ce n'était pas mon dernier trip avec cette merveilleuse famille. Le seul problème quand on voyage avec BT, c'est que ca passe trop vite, et quand le voyage tire à sa fin, on ne veut plus retourner chez nous. Je suis revenue à Montréal depuis presque deux semaines et j'en rêve encore la nuit. Non-seulement Beach Travellers m'a fait tombée en amour avec ce pays de rêves, mais il m'a aussi permit de créer des liens d'amitié très forts avec des gens formidables. Ce fut ma plus belle expérience de vie à date, et suis déjà en train de penser à mon prochain voyage avec Beach Travellers.

If I had gone to Costa Rica by myself, I definitely wouldn’t have had the same experience. BEACH TRAVELLERS HAS IT DOWN !!! They know all the best hotels, locations, restaurants, surf breaks and places to be. It was so helpful to have an awesome chill guide to help show us what Costa Rica has to offer. Costa Rica Travel 2010 - Beach Travellers allows its members to experience traveling without all the worries of organization and planning. I know from other traveling experiences that finding taxis/buses and planning outings can be stressful. With BT everything is taken care of by your guide and your able to relax and enjoy the ride. This makes for a much more pleasant experience. I had the time of my life in Costa Rica and I’m definitely looking forward to my next adventure with BT…Brazil perhaps. Thank you BT : ) and Costa Rica I miss you...

Costa Rica Travel 2010 - The Most amazing trip I have ever been on in my life. I never knew that I could do so many exciting activities in 15 days while also spending half the time relaxing and suntanning on the beach, and with so many cool people. When we weren't surfing or picking sea shells on the beach, we were ziplining, white water rafting, ATV'ing, and national park hiking. It was amazing. I truly miss Costa Rica and wish that I can go back there soon to continue living the Pura Vida, because wow, I would live that life for the rest of my life if I could. Beach Travellers truly showed me what it means to have no worries. Hakuna Matata right?! Haha! I will definitely be going on another trip with beach Travellers as soon as I can. It was very comforting to have a Guide to show us around the country and each town. Giving us the maximum experience that we could have. Beach Travellers.....you rock!!! With tons of love and much thanks for showing me the time of my life, I will say see you soon.

Bali and Beyond 2009 - "Going on the BT trip to Bali was "fate" when I lost a guaranteed summer job and an hour later got a phone call from Adam asking for the last time if I wanted to go to Bali in a few weeks. I am so glad I made the sporadic decision because it got me out of my own shell and out of this country to experience something new and amazing with guides who wanted to get you as excited as themselves about everything there was to see and a group of co-travelers that quickly became friends.

I got to experience a new culture and see the stunning things a different place had to offer. Waterfalls, rice fields, biking through traffic that makes city biking here a breeze, snorkeling, monkeys, temples, relaxing beach adventures and the cheapest everything you could want(or at least food, beer and bracelets). There was chances to go crazy and have wild adventures and fun, but also time to chill out and relax. This three week mix of opportunities was great and entirely worth it. I hated leaving and was Bali sick for so long. On the plane we were planning our next trip. I recommend BT to anyone, and Bali is a must see. Thanks for a new way of seeing and thinking the world."

Brazil 2009 - "Going to Brazil with Beach Travellers this summer has been an unforgettable experience. It was my second BT trip, So I was expecting only the best, however nothing could have prepared me for what was to come. It has been one of the most amazing experiences of my life. From hangliding over Rio de Janeiro, to camping in the amazon, to brazillian beach bums, nothing could have compared to an experience like this. The guides were great and just made the experience that much better. They were fun, easy going, and always willing to experience the culture with you. I cannot thank Beach Travellers enough for giving me this opportunity of a lifetime and I look forward to my 3rd trip with them -- because I know it will come soon. Thanks again!! :)"

Brazil 2009 - "The first trip BT Brazil was a huge success. Bt definately didtheir research; taking us from gorgeous Argentina water falls, to the middle of the Amazon, from the unbelievable surf beaches, to group tours to favelas. Having limited knowledge about Brazil before the trip, I feel I learned a ton about their culture and way of life. Travelling with BT can be nerve racking as yo u meet completely new people only as soon as you arrive, but they soon become very close friends and make the experience all the more enjoyable. I loved BT and am already thinking about which trip to join up with next!!"

Thailand 2009 - "Month of may in Thailand has been a amazing experience. beach travelers went way beyond my expectations that i had for it. it opens you up to a new and interesting culture that is completely different from Canada's. this trip allows you to choose your own kind of involvement in all the activities, since nothing is written in stone any kind of person can come on this trip and enjoy themselves.

As far as the guides themselves go, it is quite amazing, i have not had a single bad experience with any of the guides, each one is unique and open and are easy to become friends with, and through them even the shyest of people can meet everyone else and make new friends.

In conclusion i would just have to say, that if you want to have a great vacation with plenty of activities, partying and lounging around, i would most definitely recommend beach travellers."

Bali and Beyond 2009 - "The BT Bali & Beyond trip was the perfect mix between adventure travel and a relaxing getaway set in one of the most beautiful places on earth. The trip was well researched and brought us to places we would likely have missed traveling on our own. You get to meet a group of amazing people and spend three weeks together making memories that last a lifetime. From surfing to rafting, visiting temples and trekking up a volcano, the experiences had on the trip are ones you can't stop talking about when you get home. The guides were more like travel buddies and always kept us entertained. I would definitely recommend traveling with BT and look forward to my next trip."

Thailand 2009 - "Lorsqu'on m'a demandé de partir en Thailande, j'étais rétissante et je me demandais si Beach Travellers étaient la chose qui allait faire changer mon avis sur ce pays. La Thailande a gagné mon coeur. Les couleurs, les sensations, les goûts, les bruits que vous voyez et entendez ne se reproduirons jamais ailleurs. La Thailande possède un charme exceptionnelle qui vous fait vibrer jusqu'à l'intérieur de votre corps. Les rencontres que l'on fait est une expérience enrichissante et quoi de mieux que de se faire de nouveaux amis pour échanger vos goûts communs. Préparer vous à un Full Moon party de l'enfer. Imaginer; 30 000 personnes qui dansent sous la lune jusqu'à 10 h le lendemain matin pour voir le lever du soleil. Il n'y a pas de mot pour décrire l'émotion que j'ai ressenti. Les guides de Beach Travellers sont tellement compréhensible et ils s'adaptent à chaque personne. Définitivement si vous voulez voir des choses inimaginable, voyager avec Beach Travellers, My best trip ever. Thank you so much guys for that experience!"

Costa Rica 2009 - " I was on a CR trip in 2009 which was life changing for me! On this trip I realized, how important it is to enjoy life again! This f**** stressed out world everywhere is way too crazy.
The whole trip was planned out really good from our tour guides Jeff and Mitch - many thanks to you crazy animals!! :)) We had a blast every day and of course surfing was the best part of the day!
Jeff and Mitch knew a lot of hidden places, where we had awesome, cheap dinner!!

I miss CR hugh times, but I have to make some money in order to go there again! See ya guys and if somebody is planning this trip to CR > watch out the 'mangina or the cocktail' from Mitch. Holy shit, I am still laughing my ass off!!"

Thailand 2008 - "Experiencing Thailand Beach Traveller's style was the most amazing experience of my life! Im so happy I went with them. I made unforgettable friends and since my August 08 trip I have returned to Thailand to meet up with Beach Travellers again! I cant explain how much fun I had with them. The guides are amazing people and were what really made the trip such an unforgettable experience. From the wacky cross dressing parties to chillin in a hammok, Beach Traveller's know how to make your trip truely a trip of a lifetime!"

Thailand 2008 - 
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. 
One of the most amazing months of my life. 
The leaders were great, and i was part of an incredible group of people that i really want to keep in touch with. 
Thailand has so much to offer, and the trip allowed us to have a taste of a lot of different things; i experienced things i never thought possible. I recommend this experience to anyone."

Costa Rica 2008 - " I had the opportunity to spend a month in Costa with BT this May, hitting both the surf camp and travel trip. I can honestly say that it was worth every penny, and it was the experience of a lifetime. The surf camp was awesome, we saw some amazing beaches and in two weeks you can truly learn alot about the sport... If you snowboard, skate, or have just always wanted to try it, you definitely need to do it with BT.

The travel trip is just as awesome, and is built to do as many activities as possible during the day and then partying all night. From howler monkeys to speedboat trips, you'll see and do it all. The country is one of the most beautiful I've ever seen, and the scenery is out of this world. I met some amazing people from across Canada, most of which I still talk to on a regular basis. If you're looking to get away and you want a sunny destination, go to Costa Rica. The people, the culture, it's all incredible... By the time you get home you'll be listening to reggae daily and living the Pura Vida, it really is a way of life. So just book your trip already, you will remember it forever...

And don't forget, make sure to ask Graeme how many toucans he's seen lately."

Costa Rica 2008 - "I went on the Jan 08 CR trip. Costa Rica is breathtaking, beautiful, diverse and a fantastic cultural experience. The trip was awesome - the guides were knowledgeable, eager and helpful, you're given the opportunity to try things you wouldn't otherwise do (surfing, snorkelling, ziplining over mountain ranges, jumping off waterfalls) and the things that you would (drinking 2 for 1 cocktails, podium dancing and moonlight swims on the beach... in no particular order) The sights you see are just incredible (sunsets, dolphins, whales and Graeme moaning about wasabi belly). The trip is well-organised but flexible and gives you plenty of time to do your own thing. I'd totally recommend travelling with Beach Travellers, though advise future CR travellers to not bring a suitcase (they're not fun to carry up the beach), to check out Jeff's impression of an angry pirahna (he looks like an elephant) and be nice to any token Aussies that may be found arguing that thongs are for your feet!"

Costa Rica 2007 
 - "I signed up for this trip as a first time traveller not knowing what to expect. I was shown around a new country with an awesome group of people with two guides that made the trip a blast! I did more activities in 2 weeks than I’ve done in a whole year. I really liked the fact that the places we saw, and the things we did were, for the most part, not really touristy. I remember walking down the coast in Montezuma and stumbling upon Playa Grande – the biggest beach I’ve ever seen with crystal clear water, and we were the only people on the entire beach! The people I met, the things I saw, and having two guides that just seemed like two buddies, made this trip probably two of the best weeks I’ve ever had. . They partied with us, and hung out, while still showing us everything Costa has to offer. If you’re considering travelling, do it through Beach Travellers!! "
PURA VIDA

Thailand 2007 
- "I had a fantastic time during the Thailand May 2007 trip. The sights and activities we did and saw were amazing, and I came back with so many great memories due to the places we went and the people we went with. I really appreciated the work the guides did for us because it made the trip easy and worry-free compared to traveling by oneself. The planned activities let you do and see some really great stuff and the places we went were diverse and let you see some of the best parts of Thailand. I think the group really clicked and we made some good friends and have a lot of crazy memories and photos to look back on. I think the trip balanced partying and other activities well â we got to experience the best of the Thai nightlife as well as the best of the Thai daylife (for lack of a better word). Loved the beaches and the rainforest and the crazy streets of Bangkok and Iâll miss the people, the amazing food, and the cheap beer"

Thailand 2007 - 
"I don't think you can put a price on the experience that Beach Travellers has perfected over the years. It was absolutely mind blowing each and everyday. The guides especially exceeded all of my expectations, they provided a perfect balance of professionalism and fun, and they definitely know where the party's at. The activities they organized were always amazing, but not so many it was overwhelming, there was always time to do my own thing. The sights, sounds, food, culture, parties, beaches; there wasn't anything I didn't enjoy. Riding elephants in the river? I don't think I've ever had more fun in my life. If you were to ask me if I would travel with these guys again in the future, In a %$@# heartbeat! That being said, I am on my way to Costa Rica! Thanks for everything, you really opened my eyes to things I didn't even know existed, what a way to live. 


Costa Rica 2007 - 
"Prior to heading to Costa Rica my travels were limited to North America. I have had friends tell me stories about their trips abroad and their stories were always concluded with, you just don't understand until you experience it yourself. Now I understand! The experiences, adventures and memories can not be done justice by any photo, video or story. My trip with Beach Travellers to Costa Rica opened my eyes and made me appreciate some things in life that I can only describe by saying, Pura Vida. 

Thank you Beach Travellers for the true experience of a lifetime!"

Costa Rica 2006
 - "Every time people ask me how my trip to Costa Rica was, I tell them it was "the best trip of my life." Everything about it was awesome! The locations, the accommodations, the activities, the nightlife and especially the guides! As one of the girls on the trip I couldn't have felt more comfortable and safe in such a foreign country. Thanks for making this trip so amazing!"

Costa Rica 2006 - "I'm almost certain that not a day goes by where I don't daydream remembering something that happened down in Costa Rica. It was the most fun by far I have ever had in my life! There was nothing I really could have done to prepare myself for how that trip would change me. Graeme & Jeff you guys are professional guides and know how to have show everyone an awesome time. Thank you very much once again. To everyone else GO TO COSTA RICA WITH BEACH TRAVELLERS!!! PURA VIDA,...con leche."

Thailand 2006 
- Every time I stop to think about my experience with Beach Travellers this past May 2006, many memories run through my mind never failing to make me smile and laugh. The significance of this experience could never have been forecasted by a picture of a beach or a description of the destinations not yet known. It is a journey full of discovery, friendship and learning. As I sit down to reflect I realize you can't put such an amazing time into words. Travel provides the means to realize what you know of the world but have yet to see. Beach Travellers takes you there and shows you the magic of the islands, the beauty of Thai culture and adventures that unexpectedly lead you to yourself. I would do it all again in a heartbeat."

Thailand 2006 
- I experienced things I would have never dreamed of doing. I ate shark, scorpion, snakes blood, bull tongue, visited a hidden lagoon and belayed down a cliff. The tour guides were well prepared for all situations. They had a good balance between friend and guiding on a professional level. We were never left in an uncomfortable position. You couldn’t put a price on the experience I got from the trip."
