Follow the Lights tour

I had 2 things on my bucket list: experience a white Christmas and see the Northern Lights. Thanks to Viva Expedition, i can tick these items off my list! Beke, my travel agent, helped me book a tour “Follow The Lights” for December which covered Norway and Finland, as well as pre and post tour accommodation in Oslo and Helsinki. Beke was fantastic and patiently answered my many questions about the tour. She also helped me sort out my cabin selection on the Hurtigruten ship as well as the optional shore excursions. One of the excursions was cancelled due to inclement weather and she is currently following Hurtigruten up on the refund. Outside of this one small issue, the trip on a whole was amazing and we had the best time, even seeing the Aurora on multiple occasions. Thanks Viva Expedition, for helping me make a trip I’ve dreamt about for a long time into reality!

Great way to maximise your tour without waiting in lines or traffic. Guides are locals so can recommend great restaurants to try regional cuisine.

Cruise Booking

I contacted Viva to help me select an Antarctic Cruise and Viva really were very helpful in making the process easier. Thanks Flor.
As a result, I booked the cruise I chose through them, and had great follow up when necessary.
Our Cruise was absolutely fantastic and we had unique experiences that will last a life time. Antarctica is a wonderous environment with the icebergs, the wildlife and the sense of isolation and to experience being there is a privilege.

Great variety of experiences

Great variety of experiences - all we wished of. We visited Rwanda, Tanzania, Kenya - safari and hiking. Rwanda was unexpectedly beautiful - country and people. Safari in Tanzania and Kenya was hectic but satisfying (we went in low season which we recommend). Hiking 8 days amongst Maasai people in Tanzania was the amazing and humbling.

Our 5 week trip was all joined up thanks to Tanya. The app was very useful. Accommodation was of a high standard and guides were of high standard too.

Generally we trusted that things would happen as planned - just one day not turned out to be as expected due to pick up no there.

One thing to improve experiences is to be fully informed of how long travel days are - we found time and distances in safari vehicle was unexpectedly hard. Also our hiking across rift valley and through Maasai country was amazing and away from crowds and usual tourist routes. We loved the 'cradle of mankind' theme of the hike. However, we would have loved a stronger connection/guidance/information around this theme as we were doing it -it was a was not narrated well.

Overall, Viva has delivered again a wonderful trip - this is out third time we have used Viva for complex multiple weeks travel experience - and we would not hesitate to use again .

Viva cancelled the booking of apartment…

Viva cancelled the booking of apartment originally booked in Buenos Aires and replaced it with Sub standrad apartment. When we complained about the same, our agent in NZ with the help of your local support team could manage to transfer to another hotel, but Viva did not want to absorb the cost but forced ourr travel agent in NZ to bear the extra cost inspite of the fact that it was Viva's fault & they did not take responsibility. This leaves a bad taste & not good Customer Outcome.

Antwort von Viva Expeditions

Thank you for sharing your feedback.

We would like to provide some context, as we always aim to be transparent with our travellers. Your original quote included one of our preferred hotels, which we work with regularly and personally inspect to ensure consistent quality (we do not contract apartments in Buenos Aires). At your request, we sourced an apartment instead. Unfortunately, several months later the apartment provider cancelled the reservation due to the property becoming unavailable for short-term rental. We immediately informed your agent and again offered our preferred hotel, but an apartment was still preferred, so we secured an alternative apartment for you.

Upon arrival in Buenos Aires, we understand that the apartment did not match your personal preference. Our local team and your agent acted quickly to support you and arranged a move to a hotel as requested, but advised the hotel to be billed to Viva without our agreement. As there were no issues or faults reported with the apartment itself—and the request to move was based on preference rather than a service failure—the additional hotel costs were not expenses that the apartment provider or Viva were able to absorb.

We truly regret that this situation left you feeling dissatisfied, as it is never our intention for any guest to feel unsupported. We appreciate your feedback and will continue to review our processes to ensure the best possible experiences for all our travellers.

Excellent place to visit

Everything went smoothly apart from 2 of our trips being cancelled due to weather.
Kiwi spotting was excellent. Accomodation was excellent. Food at the pub is great.
There was a bit of confusion about our trips. Our hosts kept asking what company each tour was booked with and this was not very clear. There are more than one company operating various tours.

HI Susan, thanks for your feedback, glad to hear you had a good trip. On Stewart Island we work with the local experts for each trip (when you are doing a tailor made trip, like yours, if its our small group tour, then there is one guide for the tour), eg a specific one for kiwispotting, another for the star gazing, so you have the experts for each,. Aplogogies if this was not clear enough on the documents., we will look into it to see if we can improve. Thanks again for your feedback!
