Let's go! Exciting news, the FCDO has lifted their advisory against all but essential travel to Jordan. We have been seeing signs for a while as tourists gradually return and flight routes are reinstated. We are delighted to be able to offer trips to this beautiful country once again. From Petra, one of the most exceptional archaeological sights in the world, to the desert landscapes of Wadi Rum, the Dead Sea and so much more, Jordan is an amazing destination. As you cam see, it makes a particularly great choice for a family holiday and nowhere will you and your kids get a warmer welcome.

Get in touch with the team to talk about a trip to Jordan.

We always love hearing from our clients.

Lisa and Randall travelled with us to Ecuador last month and had some kind words to say. 🥰

"Exceptional! Simon Williams, owner of Humboldt Travel, crafted the most wonderful trip through Quito to the Galapagos for me with my adult son. March was a perfect time to go. It was the adventure of a lifetime! We stayed in Quito, on a catamaran, and on Santa Cruz. The best part was our time on the Expedition catamaran run by Golden Galapagos. We did a 3 night/4 day cruise. Honestly, wish we had booked a longer cruise. The staff and naturalist were exceptional Every need and want was anticipated and exceeded! Simon was wonderful, having so much patience, throughout the planning process. His recommendations were all on point. If you’re considering a trip to The Galapagos—go while the going is good! Don’t hesitate to use Humboldt Travel.. Only one of our 5 guides were ordinary—all others were extraordinary!"

PENGUINS, PATAGONIA & PUMAS

Our clients Chuck and Lisa recently returned from their travels to Chile and Antarctica with us and sent through these fabulous photos.

They took a fly-cruise to Antarctica aboard the Silver Wind expedition vessel with flying from southern Chile to King George Island on the Antarctic Peninsula where they boarded their cruise.

After a week in Antarctica, the strong winds made it impossible for their flight to take off so they had an unexpected couple of extra nights in Antarctica.

Despite the delay, we managed to get them to Tierra Patagonia in good time so that their trip wasn't too affected where they experienced amazing landscapes and puma sightings.

Throughout their delay in Antarctica we were constantly in contact with the clients and this is what Chuck and Lisa thought our our assistance,

"Humboldt Travel's service was exceptional! Simon worked collaboratively with us throughout the planning process and supported us thoroughly while traveling during the trip, even after midnight on a weekend when weather disrupted plans."
