Beyond Expectations! An absolutely incredible trip!! It completely surpassed our very high expectations. The Patagonia landscape is absolutely beautiful, rafting on the Futaleufu is the best in the world and the Bio Bio Camp is out of a dream. Lorenzo and his wife, Terri, were phenomenal hosts. They and all of the guides and staff were warm, welcoming and a complete wealth of knowledge on the region and rafting. The accommodations are perfect for enjoying nature. You are protected from the elements with comfortable beds and privacy, while also having the wonderful experience of effectively being outside the entire trip. One note, the bathrooms and showers are shared. They are clean and close to the platforms, but worth noting for packing. Headlamp/flash light is a must for getting around camp after dark, but remember the sun doesn't go down until about 10 pm, its summer in the southern hemisphere!Most days start with yoga, then breakfast. Time on the water, sometimes lunch at camp or out on the go. Then opportunities for more time on the water or hiking or relaxing - hot tub, sauna, a massage. "The hot tub is hot and the beers are cold!" We found spending time at camp in the afternoons very relaxing. Themed dinners, fantastic dessert every night! Maybe a campfire or another drink before tucking in for bed. The Futaleufu River Bio Bio trip is an adventure in paradise. If you are considering this vacation, book it now. We cannot recommend it enough!We hope to go back someday!

These guys are awesome! I've been on a number of trips with them over the past couple decades. In the States, South America and Africa! Many of the best times of my life! Exciting, relaxing, adventurous, friendly, invigorating, life altering! Started with them as a bachelor years ago hitting class V in Chile with 5-star camping, including a wood fired hot tub after the day’s rafting adventure. Another trip I enjoyed a multi-day trip down the Zambezi river below Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe followed by a few days of safari! Eventually used Bio Bio for my honeymoon to Kilimanjaro, safari in Tanzania, and beach time in Zanzibar. Highly recommend them for both adventure and leisure!!

Absolutely Perfect I'm on my 3rd trip with BBX this year. Look no further. This outfit is top shelf. Marc is a world class operator. I never felt unsafe. I was always exhilarated. Never felt a schedule but was always engaged. I felt like part of Africa, not just a spectator. Whenever I thought I might get bored, the Bio Bio crew always surprised. 4 of us guys didn't feel up to one particular day of rafting. We were surprised that even though we stayed at camp, the Bio crew arranged for massuses to drop by and give us all Zambezi Riverside treatments. Very classy. The food is outstanding. The equipment, crew, porters and guides are the best. Highlights: African sundowner. Elephant Camp. Vic Falls Lodge.....well everything really! Not a single complaint. Small group of like minded travelers with all levels of experience from none to Class 5 riders. (Check their Chile & Peru trips!) Shhhh.

Best adventure outfitter, hands-down The Zambezi Explorer trip was my third whitewater/multi-sport trip with Bio Bio, and there's no other company I'd entrust my safety (or life) to, especially on a challenging river like the Zambezi. Their guides are the best in the business, with the highest level of credentials with regard to safety, and experience, but they're also personable and fun, but always professional. This trip was a once-in-a-lifetime adventure for me, and on every count, Bio Bio met and exceeded my expectations- their support staff and contractors in Zimbabwe, Botswana and Zambia, included. From the laidback ambiance of Imbabala Safari Lodge to the incredible experience of The Elephant Camp, the safari portions of the trip -especially our guides- were a highlight. Canoeing and rafting the Zambezi provided a lot of adventure, with our safety always being top priority, but everything is top-notch, from meals to campfire time. I appreciate the fact Bio Bio integrates cultural awareness and employs locals, and visiting a school providing us the opportunity to donate items to the kids. I've also found that BBX trips attract like-minded people- well-traveled, adventurous and fun. Over the last 12 years, BBX has given me some of my best memories, adventures and friendships.
