What people are saying

"One month ago my husband, 2 teenage boys and I had the privilege of travelling with Gondwana Ecotours around Fairbanks, Alaska. This was no ordinary holiday – it was an experience that made me laugh and cry with joy, be in awe of Alaska’s beauty in the depths of winter, and connect with fellow travellers and guides who started as strangers but became friends in such a short period of time. Every detail of every day and night was perfect. Thanks to perfect weather, we saw extraordinary Aurora on multiple evenings... The daily activities were diverse, informative and so much fun...Thank you for looking after us so well! One week after we returned home, we booked our second tour with Gondwana to see Alaska this summer." - LOUISE T. (Gondwana Adventurer).
