We recently travelled with Viva Expeditions through Brazil and Costa Rica (Manaus, Rio de Janeiro, La Fortuna, Monteverde and Manuel Antonio) and were really impressed with how well everything was organised. The whole trip was well put together and ran pretty much like clockwork. We had one weather-related hiccup, our bags did not make it onto our final (4th) flight from New Zealand into Manaus, but the ground team were fantastic and arranged for them to be collected and delivered to us at the Amazon ecolodge and after landing in that heat, after 48 hours odd of travel, and speaking no Portuguese, that was a huge relief! Itineraries and contact details were all provided in advance, we were checked in on and at every airport we were met, looked after, and smoothly transferred to our next destination. Overall, a fantastic trip, we felt well supported throughout and would happily recommend Viva Expeditions.

Bryony was so helpful booking our trip and made sure that we had everything in order before we departed to ensure a stress free trip!

Communication with our travel consultant was excellent. Everything met our expectations. The choice of Galaxy as our boat company was excellent and Eco Galaxy was a very good boat.

Thanks Viva Expeditions, especially Pia, I felt safe and secure on my trip with you there as back up, all travel went as planned. GAdventures in Costa Rica was superb with a great guide, wonderful people and amazing places.

Everything went smoothly, on time, and to plan. Guides and drivers were courteous and knowledgeable. When we did have a small irregularity with one of the tours the issue was acknowledged and resolved promptly. Communication was excellent through the booking process, pre-departure, and during our holiday.

We had the most amazing holiday and all arrangements were perfect. All transfers were on time, all accommodation just what we were looking for and every single guide was outstanding. Couldn't fault anything and we got to see so much of what Chile has to offer. Thank you Bryony and Viva Auckland for your care and attention in putting this holiday together for us.

Ex tour guides. Prompt pick up. Guides had very good English. Nice vans. Great tour of important historical sites and fantastic handpicked exciting places (the hummingbirds in Mindo)

Our Signature Peru package with Viva Holidays was faultless.
On arrival met by Viva representative, Lizet. Very comprehensive run through all arrangements. Impressed as she stayed in contact via whatsapp right through our journey.
All arrangements on time. Drivers' good, guides better than good - interesting informative excellent English. Vehicles were excellent standard, comfortable and clean and modern

The private tours included in the itinerary we highly recommend - having our own personal guide, Jessica and Lizbeth exceptional. Moved at our pace, happy to spend as much time as we needed anywhere. Adapted to our interests in what we saw on each tour.

Overall the trip was incredibly well planned and instrumented For first drop into sacred valley for acclimatisation to having a free day at end in sacred valley we never felt rushed and got a great overall experience of the Incan culture, the amazing experience of Machu Picchu and the incredible sights Peru has to offer From being greeted from arrival by lizet giving clear information on the plans for the week …. Sacred valley

All accommodation was value for money the standard hotels great locations clean comfortable Premium well worth it, offering extra comforts and amenities. The premium in sacred value perfect for 2 nights. Beautiful property and the setting meant for a tranquil break in the busy schedule. Train to Machu pichu was so much fun and the wow factor definitely worth doing the upgrade to the Prime Train 41

Viva delivered a perfect introduction for us on first time to Peru all we could have achieved in the short time we had.
Thank you to Pia, viva consultant, for all the help and info leading up to this trip could not have been more helpful and knowledgeable.

We had many questions during the booking process. Pia answered every one in a timely manner and thoroughly. Then the arranged connections and accommodations themselves were fabulous. We couldn’t have had a better trip!

A well organised, superb trip. Everything was as planned. Viva did a great job!

Seeing Norway, Lapland and Finland from many different perspectives - train, coach, boat. Getting information about various sites, history, peoples, animals. The Hurtigruten travel (6 nights) was particularly interesting and enjoyable.

We had a fabulous time visiting Stewart Island. It's a remote and beautiful part of NZ with stunning scenery, loads of walking tracks plus predator free locations where you can enjoy plenty of birdsong.
Pia at Viva Expeditions made some wonderful recommendations and pulled everything together for us so that everything worked seamlessly and we got the most out of our time.

Fantastic trip to the South Shetland Islands, Antarctic peninsula, South Georgia and the Falkland Islands. The wildlife and scenery was absolutely stunning. The experienced travel consultant (Pia Knarston) was available to discuss travel options and any concerns. We received prompt personalised responses to queries even while we were travelling. Thank you.

I responded to a radio ad Viva .com, explained clearly what I was looking for and given multiple choices of cruise ships and pretty soon I was on my way.
Any queries were just a phone call away and always a friendly chat followed. Flights to and from South America linked up very well and hotel accommodation was close to airports.

Booking was grand and easy, Flo was a wonderful understanding agent.
Understanding my novice travel experience.
And went out of her way to me .

Thank you Flo and team

This was the a superb trip! Pia had all the details including the small ones like transfers all taken care of. We just had to show up.

The itinerary was comprehensive showing us the best of New Zealand without being exhausting. There is so much to see in New Zealand but Pia did an excellent job of selecting the top ones.

We will definitely be working with Viva Expeditions and Pia for future travels.

Our recent trip to South America was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience, filled with breathtaking landscapes, vibrant culture, and unforgettable moments.
The highlights of the journey were simply extraordinary. Visiting Iguazu Falls was awe-inspiring—the sheer power and beauty of the cascading water left us speechless. The energy and excitement of the Rio Carnival in Rio de Janeiro was beyond anything we could have imagined—colorful, lively, and full of life. Exploring Machu Picchu was equally magical, with its rich history and stunning mountain setting creating an unforgettable atmosphere. The surreal landscapes of the Salt Flat Uyuni in Bolivia were like stepping into another world, with endless white horizons and mirror-like reflections. Finally, Easter Island fascinated us with its mysterious Moai statues and unique cultural heritage.
Most importantly, the local travel agents provided top-notch service, ensuring everything ran smoothly and stress-free.
This journey has been an unforgettable and wonderful experience, filled with incredible memories that we will cherish forever.
Huge thanks to Viva Expeditions Team, especially Pia, you made this incredible journey possible. You are the best 👍 👍

10/10 experience. Beautiful lodge on the river front, incredible food and service. The safari was incredible, saw all of the big 5 and the guides were great quality.

Travelling with Viva made everything so easy. My itinerary was clear and concise and easy to follow with all the relevant instructions as to where to meet pick up drivers and what was available in the hotels we stayed at.
Antarctica is an unusual place to visit and Tara was generous with her advice and guidance as to packing and even how to change money in Argentina. Ocean Albatross was a fantastic boat, well resourced with incredibly knowledgeable and enthusiastic staff who could not do enough to make your trip more enjoyable and educative.
