Earth Trip Bewertungen 

Great accommodation for a less developed country. As I have an MSG allergy was very pleasing to see every hotel we booked into was already aware of that.
Noah was an excellent driver on some very challenging roads and made sure we were well taken care of.

We used Earth Trip for a 5 week tour of Sri Lanka in 2025. The experience was fantastic so we decided to use them for our 2026 2 month tour of South America encompassing Chile (Patagonia, central Chile and Atacama), Bolivia, Peru (including The Amazon), Ecuador (including the Galapagos), Columbia and Providencia, a small island off the coast of Nicaragua.
Earth Trip partnered with 'Jeremy' a UK based guy but with lots of experience of living and travelling in South America. Jeremy liaised with the local agents.
The level of professionalism in putting the plan together was outstanding and Jeremy went to great lengths to add on a few extra nice touches to ensure that he won the 'bid'!
The 2 month holiday itself encompassed many, many tours, 16 local flights and numerous guides from country to country. The level of accommodation was on a 4* basis. Aside from a poor final week of luxury in Providencia, the 2 months ran like clockwork. Every pick up and drop off was on time, every guide well briefed and English speaking and dietary requirements taken care of at every location (my wife suffers with Coeliacs). I mentioned, our Providencia experience as being poor (and it was!) but Jeremy and the local partner did all they could to put it right whilst we were there. We even got a small refund after the event. What people see in Providencia, I really do not understand. We were in the best hotel the island has to offer but it shuts down at lunchtime. The island is smelly and littered with rubbish. The reviews are great but our experience was terrible. The hotel in question was Monasterio del Viento by the way (I will leave a separate review).
Not withstanding, Earth Trip appear to have a great ecosystem and I would definitely use them again.

Aleem personally organised our amazing 2 week trip to Sri Lanka in April. This included rerouting our flights away from Abu Dhabi. The itinerary, hotels and experiences were exactly what we requested. We had an excellent guide in Chanaka who was knowledgeable and cheerful throughout. Aleem is particularly focussed on providing sustainable tourism which we appreciated.
We would highly recommend Earth Trip.

We’ve just returned from an absolutely fantastic tailor-made trip to Argentina and Brazil, and it exceeded our expectations in so many ways.

The itinerary was brilliantly put together, taking us from the energy of Buenos Aires to the stunning landscapes of Patagonia, the awe-inspiring Iguazú Falls and the vibrancy of Rio—an unforgettable mix of experiences.

What really made the trip stand out was how seamlessly everything ran. Every transfer, pickup and excursion worked like clockwork, which meant we could completely relax and enjoy the journey. The local guides were exceptional—knowledgeable, engaging and genuinely lovely to spend time with—and we felt very well supported throughout by the local teams.

Accommodation was very well chosen overall and added to the experience, and it was clear a lot of care had gone into planning the trip.

The only small note we’d mention is that we experienced one excursion that didn’t run exactly as originally described due to seasonal changes, so it may be worth checking in advance that all planned activities will be operating as expected at the time of travel.

Overall, an incredible trip full of special memories—we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this company and would happily travel with them again.

We were a group of 4 who went to Costa Rica for just over two weeks in April and we had a wonderful time. Earth Trip did an excellent job in proposing an itinerary and delivering on it. We say so many wonderful, unusual and colourful animals as well as seeing such beautiful and interesting flora/fauna. We have used Earth Trip before and we would use them again for future holidays.

We had a wonderful trip planner - Grace was fantastic right from the get go, and she was really helpful in sorting out specifics in our itinerary - especially given that we booked to go to the Philippines pretty last minute!

Price-wise they were pretty reasonable as well.

The grounds team were good with WhatsApp communication generally advising us timings for the tours next day and flight check in on our behalf etc, which was really good to have whilst out there.

I would definitely recommend Earth Trip & book another trip with them again.

We met the Earth Trip team in Jan of this year at the Dublin travel show. We had decided to go to Costa Rica at Easter but hadn't anything booked at the time. In short order, the team did a remarkable job in putting together a superb itinerary that matched our budget , promptly answering any questions we had along the way. We had an amazing family holiday, which ran like clockwork. Hotels, transfers and of course Costa Rica itself were all first rate. We look forward to using Earth Trip again in future

Our expectations for this trip were very high as I had originally booked 7 years ago but had to postpone. So excitement for this adventure has been building for a long time! Fortunately, Aleem still had my original itinerary. We were able to adapt it based on our current needs and the development of tourism in Sri Lanka. Aleem curated a mix of adventure, culture & relaxation.

On arrival we met our driver and guide Ushanka. He answered all of our questions and listened to our interests and hopes for this trip. Each journey was full of information and chatting so that travelling never seemed a chore. Ushanka paced each day so that we were able to add in some additional stops and see everything we wanted to. His eyesight was incredible. He could spot animals at a distance meaning that we got the opportunity to see and photograph so much that we would never have noticed by ourselves without his expertise. All this while navigating complicated Sri Lankan traffic meant that he truly earned his reputation as ‘The King of the Road’! His sense of humour and personality meant that we quickly became friends (we hope!!)

Aleem & Ushanka both believe in ethical tourism. This really appealed to us. We had so many fantastic interactions with local Sri Lankans who were operating their own businesses rather than big corporations. We were fortunate to enjoy a Culinary experience where we learnt to cook and eat typical Sri Lankan dishes with a Sri Lankan family. We hiked to Heeloya which is a village where we were able to speak with farmers still using traditional methods to farm. We also hiked the Pekoe Trail stage 13 & Horton Plains. Local guides ensured that we saw and learnt so many incredible things. The scenery and natural landscape was breathtaking.

We intended to climb Sigiriya at dawn but as we drove Ushanka spotted an obstacle up the road… two elephants were blocking the road and eating from the branches of a tree that they had pulled onto the road! We waited patiently at a distance. Once the elephants were finished with their breakfast and moved to the side the road was cleared and we drove past carefully ensuring that the elephants were not disturbed. We always felt that the welfare of the animals was the priority wherever we were. This was highlighted during our safaris in Hurulu Eco Park & Wilpattu where we saw so many Elephants including a 6 week old baby with its mother. We also were lucky enough to see a Cobra with its head up looking around, Mongoose, Sloth Bear, Spotted & Barking Deer, Crocodiles, Birds and Leopard footprints!

Sri Lanka has so much to offer. We swam in Waterfalls and the Indian Ocean. In Balapitiya we watched the fishermen & my husband helped them pull in their nets! In Pasikuda we went for long walks along the beach.

Wherever we were we felt safe. We enjoyed the vibrant cities and the historic Temples. An unexpected highlight was the Bluefield Tea Estate where we attempted to pick tea leaves and experienced the tea making process in the factory.

The food was absolutely delicious. Each of our hotels were superb and unique. We loved that each was so different. The one constant was the Sri Lankan people - everyone that we met was friendly and very proud of their country. We loved spending time chatting.I know of no other country that has so many different opportunities to see as many phenomenal things in such a small area.

At the end of our Sri Lankan adventure Aleem organised for us to relax for 4 nights in the Maldives. After the short flight we selected to transfer to our hotel by seaplane. We relaxed watching the sunrise and sunset feeling refreshed and ready to return home.

This trip was to celebrate my 60th Birthday. There were so many little surprises throughout our trip that I really appreciated. It made our adventure even more special & memories that I will treasure forever.

Thank you Ushanka, Aleem & The Earth Trip Team for making my dream come true. Our adventure truly surpassed my high expectations. I cannot recommend it highly enough.

Our second adventure with Earth Trip this time to beautiful Sri Lanka, the land of paradise and BIG smiles despite hardships like the recent cyclone and the Iran war.

We finally made it after three reschedules (as flying into the war zone via Dubai!) Aleem was amazing calling us to rearrange the trip and flights and adding on extra days when flight changes lost us a few days at the start of our trip.

Our 3 week wildlife, culture and nature adventure took us from west to east, to the highlands and the south coast via wildlife parks, cave temples, mountains, tea plantations, lakes and rivers, staying in beautiful lodges in the middle of nowhere to enjoy the simplicity of nature whether on foot or on two (or three – Tuk Tuk ) wheels. From the diverse landscapes to the excellent Sri Lankan cuisine (words just cannot convey how wonderful the food is!), every day was a highlight whether climbing a mountain, gasping at giant Buddhas in cave temples, trekking through paddy fields, meandering through tea plantations, cooking with the locals, indulging in an ayurvedic massage or driving beside a herd of elephants enjoying the mud after a heavy rain storm.

Our guide Sampath was a fountain of knowledge on the unique flora and fauna in the country and became a true friend on our journey. I certainly got my elephant fix on this trip :)

We have truly fallen in love with beautiful Sri Lanka. Thank you Aleem and the Earth trip team on the ground in Sri Lanka for a truly unforgettable holiday with so many wonderful memories. We will be back :)

Was very easy. A fantastic itinerary crafted for us. Staff were all excellent.

Aleem and his team put together an exciting, varied and most interesting itinerary for our second trip with him to Sri Lanka. All boutique hotels were exceptional both in the accommodation, staff service and culinary delights. They were all located off the beaten track in places in spectacular surroundings. Truly idyllic.
Our guide, Ushanka, more than lived up to his excellent reputation from our last trip. His knowledge, friendliness and attention to detail was second to none.
We look forward to another Sri Lankan adventure

We have had a fabulous trip which massively exceeded our expectations. All Hotels were great and also varied which made it even more interesting Over two weeks we have experienced so much variety, way more than we could’ve managed under our own steam and which Aleem totally organised for us, all achieved in a relaxed and informed way because we had a lovely cheerful calm driver called Sampath and they both gave us a wonderful introduction to Sri Lanka and was an expert on the local Bird life and wildlife.
We do not hesitate to recommend Earth Trip , all the organisation and each interaction could not have been better
Very tempted to go with them for a trip to the north part of Sri Lanka ,next year

Thank you Aleem ,so much

We have had a wonderful time in Sri Lanka thanks to Aleem and the team at Earth Trip. The itinerary Aleem put together for us gave us everything we wanted out of our trip and more. All the hotels were excellent. The excursions lived up to expectations and enabled us to fully experience the varied and rich culture of the country. Our driver, Madushanka, was excellent and ensured everything went to plan. Nothing was too much trouble and he had a great sense of humour. We would highly recommend Earth Trip.

Aleem is Sri Lankan. He organised our holiday to Sri Lanka. His local knowledge was unbeatable. The route, hotels and experiences we encountered introduced to a country that was most beautiful and its people so friendly and interesting. Sri Lankan hotels are up there with the best and Aleem found small high quality accommodations throughout. The food was sublime and our driver, Sam, was professional, organised, and jolly throughout. We had the best holiday ...... ever! Thank you Earth Trip!

Aleem took great notice of what we like to do on holiday and tailored our itinerary perfectly. We had a great mix of culture, wild life and culinary visits. We were kept busy but also had some time to take in the places we visited. The hotels and lodges we stayed in were excellent not too luxurious but very comfortable and the food was wonderful. Our guide Manuka was absolutely excellent and he was able to tweak the itinerary if he thought it would enhance our experience and he went above and beyond to ensure all the arrangements went smoothly, his knowledge of history and wildlife was huge. His driving was excellent and he managed to avoid all the tuktuks and motorcycles that just pull out in front of us! We can't thank everyone involved enough for our wonderful experience of the country of Sri Lanka

Just back from 3 week tour of Costa Rica. Hard to think of any negative comment, every person involved in our trip performed professionaly and enthusiastically. Initial meeting was at a show in Manchester where we initailly discussed what we were looking for with Alex. He came up with a suggested itinerary - we went back and forth a few times making changes to fine tune the trip.
I must say, the final outcome was extraordinary; we stayed in a total of 7 hotels, each one of which offered a totally different experience.
All guides and drivers were excellent - extremely entertaining and knowledgeable without being boring.
We made a couple of changes whilst on the trip which were handled with good grace and made seamlessly.
I would highly recommend Earth Trip if you're considering a bespoke holiday - you get what you want, not what somebody in an office thinks you should have!

My husband and I had a spectacular 3.5-week holiday in Sri Lanka and the Maldives in January/February 2026, organised by Aleem at Earth Trip.

Our driver/guide in Sri Lanka, Sam, was patient & professional. He was extremely knowledgeable about the many birds we encountered on our trip. He went above and beyond on a few occasions, including organising a visit to a local doctor to obtain a prescription for me as I had left some of my meds in the UK.

We stayed in some beautiful hotels and we enjoyed a perfect mixture of wildlife, culture and relaxation. The combination of the vibrancy of Sri Lanka and the laid-back Maldives proved to be the perfect blend.

Thank you Aleem and Sam for such a memorable holiday.

Just back from an amazing 12 nights in Costa Rica , my first time booking with Earth trip & wasn’t disappointed would definitely book with them again & have recommended them to everyone who have asked me about my trip .
I knew nothing about the company had only been past their office in Chelmsford & thought their trips looked a bit different . Checked reviews & gave them a call as being a solo traveller prices on the website were based on 2 people sharing .
I told their expert on that area what I was interested in - wildlife ,different environments mainly was told confidently where I should visit & was asked what type of accommodation I preferred etc ..
They got back to me swiftly with an itinerary & price . I called again to ask a few questions & added & changed a few things with no problems.
I was updated with revised itinerary advised what & when to expect payments & documentation.
I was given useful info along the way until departure in a professional friendly manner .
My holiday was everything I asked for & more (surpassed my expectations)
A family member who lives in America has a career in travel & has visited Costa Rica herself, was tracking my trip was really impressed with the places , accommodation & tours Earth trip had arranged for me . I had been given details of who to contact while there if were any problems /questions etc & I used them once to revise a tour as something was closed due to a volcano being more active at the time , which again was easy & no problem for them to change .
All my transfers tours & hotels /lodges were were perfect .
Thank you Earth trip for all your work .

We have just returned from an amazing trip to Sri Lanka booked with Earth Trip. Aleem arranged an excellent itinerary, with a perfect mixture of wildlife, culture, relaxation and great hotels. Our guide, Ushanka, was excellent, going out of his way to ensure we had the best experience possible . We thoroughly recommend Earth Trip, and will definitely book with them again. We also highly recommend Ushanka for a guide. Linda and Steve

We put down a deposit for a Madagascar trip in early October but were informed a couple weeks later the trip would have to be cancelled because of travel advisories. Aleem let us know the refund would be issued within 6 to 8 weeks which seemed a little long but we were fine with this. Unfortunately we had to hound them for the refund and it wasn't refunded until 14 weeks after being told a refund was coming. Other than this we found Aleem easy to work with and itineraries were delivered promptly upon request. We weren't able to travel so we can't speak to the quality of the trips.
