My first experience traveling alone could not have gone smoother. Green Edventures offered a woman-focused great experience: wonderful foods, great sites, friendly and safe, educational and inspiring. I am not well-traveled, but I definitely … More picked the best place to have a first-time experience that left me wanting to travel again. Iceland felt safe. The pace is relaxed. While Reykjavik is definitely the "hot spot" for many tourists, I would challenge people to consider time to explore. The Westfjords was my trip destination and although getting there was time consuming, there was so much to see along the way. I would book another trip with Green Edventures and/or return to Iceland again. Wonderful trip!! -

The trip to Peru and Machu Picchu was my first Green Edventures trip but it definitely won’t be my last. I thoroughly enjoyed this trip from the moment I met the rest of the group in Cusco until boarding the flight for home 8 days later. … More What an amazing group of women I got to share the week with! Smart, tough, kind, funny women! The trip leader Tracey was very organized to the smallest details and kept things on time and running smoothly. The local guides Guido and Americo shared a wealth of knowledge of the Peruvian people and the amazing places we visited. I’ve been on some amazing adventures and this one rates right up there at the top! -

This review covers the Galapagos Islands trip from 11/1/25 to 11/12/25. Our trip leader was Kristin Hoss. She was not only well informed on every kind of wildlife you could imagine, but also possessed a curiosity about every living thing. … More I felt very safe with her and very much cared for. This was my first Green Edventures trip.This was a different trip in that it really felt like we were all part of the team. Our representatives in Quito as well as our local tour guide in the Galapagos could not have been better. We learned so much on this trip. One of the best parts was the delightful personalities of the tour participants and how well we all meshed.
The trip was very well planned. There was a great variety of activities and plenty of breaks interspersed with the activities. I look forward to taking more trips with this company. -

This was my first Green Edventures and my first guided tour vacation. I went with a family member and we shared our lodging. Loved our super knowledgeable tour host and guides. Great excursions and activities. This particular trip, to the … More Galapagos, would hv been a logistical nightmare if I was a lone or couple traveler. So I can appreciate the work that went into securing our all of our buses, boats, ect. Food fantastic, but too much of it. Felt like we were eating all the time. Hotel choices were fine. But the room at our longest stay(5 nights) lacked any windows with no ventilation and was small, while I got to hear from some of the other ppl in our group(one being single occupancy) about how large and great their rooms were. So I feel like the room situation could use some fine tuning. Overall it was a lovely tour and a positive experience. -

This was my first tour with Green Edventures, and I'd jump at another opportunity to tour with them again. Our tour (Iceland Knitting Tour) was so thoughtfully organized. Lori, Inga and Bergrós, our guides and knitting instructors, … More were so warm, welcoming and knowledgeable. The tour materials were detailed and well documented. The tour activities were simply incredible -- I treasure the people, places and experiences my mother-in-law and I got to meet through this trip. It's impossible to pick a favorite event; every day was a wonderful adventure. I can't recommend Green Edventures enough! -

Wonderfully organized trip to Iceland; our guides Emily and Inga could not have been better in conveying their deep love and knowledge of this beautiful country. It was a joy to have all arrangements taken care of — including hotels, meals, … More and excursions — and to be able to focus solely on taking in the incredibly dramatic and breathtaking sights of Iceland. Green Edventures offers an excellent travel experience, and they certainly know how to navigate what could be a complex and difficult travel experience for a first-time visitor. I look forward to taking more trips with this wonderful group. -

September 2025 Knitting Iceland tour with Tara, Inga and Bergros was fantastic! Organized with delicious food and comfortable lodgings in spectacular locations in the Westfjords. Inga and Bergros generously shared their culture, knowledge … More and love of Iceland which was the richest part of the trip for me. Bergros is a top notch designer and creative artist but also a literary historian, nature lover and patient teacher. Inga was a ball of energy, joy and also generous with her personal stories that made us love not just the landscape but the incredible people who come from it. I felt safe and cared about the entire time. The knitting was fantastic and the group open for adventure. Easily one of the best trips of my life. -

Excellent organization & daily adventure… the morning knitting & evening was relaxing allowing everyone to share thoughts, pictures & truly inspiring!!! I have a whole new appreciation for the work that goes into a skein of … More yarn before the actual knitting or crocheting!!! My highlights are many … hard to decide but seeing the sheep wander into the ocean where the seals were playing was beyond words and meeting the ladies that truly hold the Icelandic heritage together was educational as well as feeling that you became part of their family ❤️ much thanks to Bergros our designer with the sweetest heart of encouragement, Inga for her humor, home & direction to get us to do fun sheep roundup with her local sheep farming friends… both ladies had excellent stories that truly brought the trip to life!!! Lori was excellent pulling all the plans together & keeping track of us all … #5 Says thanks to all … New Friends ❤️🐑🐏 🧶… The Best Waterfalls 💙🩵💚 -

I loved my first tour in September to Iceland. A wonderful combination of knitting and exploring the sights of the Westfjords. The Dynjandi Waterfall was breathtaking, marvelous and powerful. Bergros and knitting truly helped me get … More better knitting skills. Inga, our guide was informative and patient. What a joy to explore Iceland with knowledgeable people. The "not in the itinerary " stops were delightful.
Thanks Tara for a super experience.

Just returned from the July 2025 Iceland Multi-sport Tour with Tara and Inga as guides. Their love of the country comes across loud and clear as well as their joy in sharing it with others. Not only is the landscape other worldly, the culture, … More people and environmental awareness is beautiful to witness. We had 8 unforgettable days where we were supported every step of the way from climbing glaciers to shopping for sweaters. Don’t hesitate to sign up, you won’t regret it. -

This was the best organized tour I have ever been on! Well organized by the planners and our group leaders who made every effort to ensure the travelers requests were answered and/or fulfilled where possible. Our common theme of a love … More for knitting was included along with truly getting to know the REAL Iceland and its sheep culture. The food was terrific, all the knitters engaged with one another-no isolationists, just knitters enjoying being together. Well Done! -

If you want an immersive adventure I highly recommend this company and it’s Iceland Multi-Sport Tour. Each day was well planned with a different adventure around every corner. Beautiful scenery, well placed accommodations, active itinerary, … More and safety in all. Group Leader Tara and Inga Tour Guide were both extremely knowledgeable and personable. Our group of ladies became friends during this tour. -

My multi-sport trip to Iceland was everything I expected and more. Our tour guide and trip leader were knowledgeable and great partners. I loved experienceing the culture and sites. I can't wait to do another trip with Green Edventures. … More If I could give them 10 stars I would, it was that remarkable. -

This was my 4th trip to Africa but my first with Green Edventures and it did not disappoint. We started in Entebbe, Uganda for 12 days with the 2 big highlights being hiking to the Mountain Gorillas. I’m an experienced hiker all over the … More world but this one was one of the most difficult, following our ranger while he was bushwhacking and the gorillas were moving away from us. Fantastic. We got up close finally…fantastic. Then trekking to the Mountain Chimpanzees; unbelievable. Hard to pick a favorite. On day one we found the rare Shoebill Stork. We were gobsmacked. And then saw 2 more at the end of the trip. Experienced an earthquake and saw erupting volcanos across the border in the DRC. Of course we saw the Big 5. Our trip Leader , Lori, was amazing and the 2 guides, Paul and Sam were princes among men. A guide I happen to have a conversation with at one of our lodge’s unsolicited told me Paul is a legend in Uganda, the finest guide in the country. We were honored. Uganda is a very poor nation so you will experience this as you drive through the country and meet the people. The difference between Green Edventures and higher end companies is you drive everywhere, you do not fly internally from lodge to lodge. But your experiences are worth it. There were 9 women on our trip and we all fell in love with each other. Most did not know each other; it’s like we were supposed to be together. Friends for life now. I followed Uganda with Tanzania with Green Edventures. I decided to add Tanzania at the last minute whilst in Uganda and am so happy I did. The cultural experiences we had on this trip were just nothing like you could ever dream about. One in particular, we visited the Hadzabe tribe , a Bushman tribe of hunter gatherers. They lived on wild game and basically tubers the women gathered. We participated in a hunt early in the morning with the younger men….they went small bird hunting with bow and arrows with 9 women from the US running after them. This would make a great movie. I must say this was never on my bucket list but you should add it to yours. We then went on to visit 4 more tribes. Fantastic. Of course we saw the Big 5. In both countries our Land Cruiser/s were charged by Bull Elephants. Quite exciting. Our leader was Lori and our guides Baraza and Vitalis were outstanding. I recommend you do both trips because once you are there you might as well stay. Bang for the buck is huge. -

I had the great fortune of experiencing a multiport tour in Iceland in July with Tara and Inga. From the community created, to the dream scapes we witnessed, to all of the laughter and memories made.. each day was well paced and worth … More every penny. We learned about the history, the geology and the culture. We soaked in hot springs and lagoons, kayaked towards the sea, trekked across a glacier, rode horses on the beach and walked behind waterfalls. I came home with my heart, soul and spirit filled to the brim. I traveled by myself and enjoyed my own room while also having warm company. If you are considering doing it, take the leap! Future you will be so grateful. This is a full body experience between the food, the things you get to see and do and the memories you take home ❤️ -

From the moment we stepped out of the plane until the moment we got back on the plane we were very well taken care of in every way possible. The hotels were top-notch. The van to get around was comfortable. Tara and her guides were all … More so wonderful and accommodating in every way. Tara loves what she does and is great at making each day amazing while keeping us safe and comfortable. The experiences we had were perfection. From snorkeling with sea lions to petting a gray whale to being educated along the way. It doesn’t get better. Traveling with women that are like-minded made each one of us stronger and wiser. Green Edventures is a great company. We will be back!! -

The Iceland tour led by Emily and Thora was terrific. Both women are kind, courteous, safe, and we pretty much knew the details and itinerary each day. The activities were great, the bus and all of the accommodations very comfortable. And … More to top it off, the group of 9 ladies got along really well. It was a bonding. Iceland is a place with so much natural raw beauty. I’m so glad I went. -

Loved Loved Loved this trip! We climbed Kilimanjaro. We took the long slow route (9 days) but it was perfect for our group.
The guides and porters were wonderful. You could not have done it without their great support both physically and … More mentally.
Everything on the trip was taken care of and we all felt safe the whole time.
Green Edventures and Matangos Expeditions were the absolute best - I highly recommend for any adventure trip! -

I was lucky enough to join the first Iceland Magic Yarn Knitting and Northern Lights Trip. Words can hardly describe how amazing and wonderful a trip this was. Tara made this trip so enjoyable and fulfilling. There was help all along the … More way for all knitting levels from someone who has never picked up needles to someone who has been knitting most their life!
Being an all women group further added to the magic that took place while we were in Iceland. I can truly say I have never been on a trip like this. Every single one of us walked away friends and with a bond that will last for a very long time.
One of the best things of this trip that it wasn't just knitting. We visited hot springs, farms, yarn stores, and parks as well along with stories and histories of the island. It was a perfect balance of activities and knitting.
It was my first time traveling with Green Edventures and it certainly won't be my last! -

I had a wonderful time, exploring Iceland with the fire and ice trip. The leader, Kelly and the guide Inga were very professional and caring. Inga told many wonderful stories as she drove and guided us through Iceland. Kelly made sure that … More we had what we needed as we explored waterfalls and glaciers and Hot Springs. I will miss them.
I enjoyed trying all of the various foods of Iceland. The lamb was delicious as was the rye bread baked underground. That was the best bread I’ve ever eaten. I recommend this trip to anyone who would like to explore Iceland. -

This trip was a highlight of my entire life! I was hoping for a Mindfulness-based peaceful journey and a few hot springs. What I got was a life-changing experience! Nine women traveling From Reykjavík the entire way to Akureyri having … More laughs, conversation, journaling, learning about Iceland, And a hot spring/hot tub every single day for 10 days! We even got into the Arctic ocean after learning how to breathe and how to do it from our Icelandic guide, Inga. Inga and the company owner, Tara, created my perfect trip! I've been dreaming of going there for many years and it far exceeded my expectations. I made some friends with whom I know I will stay in touch. This country is the most scenic, beautiful landscape I've ever seen. The people are friendly, the cities and country are very clean, the water taste better than any water you can get anywhere else, and they even have gas station ice cream that beats anything I get in an ice cream shop here! I realize my review sounds effusive, But this trip is a treasure. I definitely plan to go on more trips with Green Edventures in the future. ~Peace Kathy Groft -
