Customer Testimonials

“Infinite Adventures was wonderful and we will never forget our vacation or the people we met along the way. The guides, Natalie and Aaron were like hanging out with our old friends from college that you haven’t seen in years with a few German tourists hanging out too. They were both very nice and knowledgeable about the different locations and the tours that were available. The trip itself was very low-key, which both my husband and I really enjoyed. If you are looking to get off of the beaten path, away from people, and feel like you are out camping with friends then this is the tour for you.”

I travelled with Dave and Nat in July 2015. The trip was one of the best I have done!
Incredible wildlife, scenery, action adventures and a fantastic team leading us. Nothing was too hard, and if we wanted to make changes to our itinerary, Dave and Nat were very flexible.
If you are looking for a trip which gets you up close and personal and into the real Alaska, then this one is for you! Be prepared for great memories and lots of laughs. I would do it again in a heartbeat .”

(Anna, Brisbane, Australia)

“Ein fantastischer 20 Tages Trip mit wundervollen Eindrücken und vielen vielen Tieren.
Nat und Dave haben den Trip so angenehm wie nur möglich für alle gemacht und haben uns durch Ihre Erklärungen und professionelle Art Alaska und die Natur näher gebracht.
Ich möchte den Trip nicht missen und man will immer weiter Reisen und nicht nach Hause.
Vielen lieben Dank an Nat und Dave!”

“Natalie and Dave are the most passionate, knowledgeable and experienced guys you will ever meet when it comes to overlanding and Alaska. Hand in hand with their awesome, one of a kind converted school bus, they take a tour round the outstanding last frontier of Alaska and turn it into the trip of a lifetime. This trip should be on everyone’s bucket list.”
(Stuart Vernon, London, UK)

“Visiting Alaska has always been a dream for me and in 2013 my dream finally came true. As travelling in Alaska on your own is not the easiest and most of all not the cheapest way, I decided to join an organized trip and spent a lot of time searching the internet for it. From the first moment on I had contact to Infinite Adventures I totally felt to be in good hands. Nat gave me a lot of helpful tips for organizing my travels and when I arrived in Anchorage a few days before the trip started they welcomed me cordially and helped me to buy some stuff I needed for the trip and couldn’t bring from Germany. Due to their experience Nat and Dave were the perfect tour leaders during the whole trip, they did everything to make it unforgetable for everyone. I had a really great time exploring the amazing nature and wilderness of Alaska, every day was a totally new adventure and soon travel mates became friends. If I visit Alaska again there is no doubt who I will be travelling with!”

“I went to Alaska to see untouched northern wilderness and animals in there own natural teritory. And that also is what I really saw on this amazing trip. On top I met the two funniest and most sympathic tour leaders I’ve met so far who really put all their enthusiasm and joy in this trip and led everybody to exactly the spot or situation he/she wanted to see. It definitely was one of the most beautiful trips I’ve done so far and I can recommend it to everybody who wants to experience an incredible, remote, wild country with very friendly people! (in a very cool bus!)”

(Florian Lentzsch, Stuttgart, Germany)

“I did a 10,000 mile road trip around the whole of the USA. I had the pleasure of having Dave as my leader for the whole of the northern part of the trip. Not only did Dave know the best spots to visit in towns, he also knew all the information you could ask for whilst in the national parks. Dave is a font of knowledge and combining that with a great sense of adventure and fun I couldn’t have asked for a better leader! 2007 was the best summer of my life and Dave was a fundamental part of that!”

I have had an awesome time travelling through Alaska during an overland trip with Infinite Adventures. Dave and Nat are two ideal tour leaders. They do everything to make your holiday as good as possible, do their best to meet extra wishes, and are good company too! The truck was everything and more I hoped for. It’s spacious, has enough space to store all your stuff and it really became ‘home’ during the trip.

This trip was the first time for me going on an organised tour with tour leaders and everything. Normally I always just go by myself and am in full control of everything I do, so I was really curious how I would experience this group way of travelling. Conclusion: really nice for a change! It’s so relaxing not having to worry about the activities for example, as I knew Dave would take care of it all and do everything to make it possible.

Infinite Adventures’ slogan is ‘the adventure you’ll always want to relive’, for me absolutely true!

I fell in love with Alaska on a solo trip in 2008. Ever since then I have wanted to go back and explore more of this beautiful state. The moment I heard that David and Natalie would be leading trips around Alaska, I knew I had to sign up. It was the best trip I have ever taken and I would join Infinite Adventures for another one in a heartbeat! David and Natalie are experienced trip leaders who have thought of everything to provide the perfect experience. They are also very good at finding adventures that will challenge you and provide all kinds of fun. You can’t go wrong signing up for a trip with Infinite Adventures. I know I’ll be going again as soon as possible.

Die Alaska Salmon Run Tour bietet an sich schon alles, was man für einen beeindruckenden Natur- und Abenteuerurlaub braucht. Aber Natalie und David haben ihn mit ihrem riesigen Engagement und ihrer persönlichen Reisebegleitung in jeder Hinsicht zu einem unvergesslichen Highlight gemacht, wie ich es auf keiner anderen Outdoortour bisher erlebt habe. Ein Reiseerlebnis mit guten Freunden – und gleichzeitig in professionellen Händen. Es ist nicht zu übersehen, dass das Reisen mehr als nur ein Business für Natalie und David ist, sie teilen dieselbe Leidenschaft fürs Reisen und Entdecken und unternehmen alles, um die Wünsche und Urlaubsträume jedes Einzelnen wahr werden zu lassen!
Vielen Dank Natalie & Dave, ich gehe gerne wieder mit euch auf Tour!

The Alaska Salmon Run Tour doubtlessly provides everything you need for a stunning adventure holiday. Yet it’s owing to Natalie’s and David’s enormous commitment and their personal guidance that it became an unforgettable highlight like I never experienced before on any of my outdoor tours. Travelling with good friends – at the same time in fully professional hands. Its Natalie’s and David’s passion for travelling and exploring new things that make this tour become a very special and outstanding experience for everyone’s wishes and holiday dreams.
Thanks a million time Nat & Dave, I can’t await going on your next tour!

(Ulli Hamburg, Germany)

“Dave was the guide for my group on a trip around the Canadian Rockies. He was very laid back, but at the same time really enthusiastic and knowledgeable about the area and trip. He was very organised and able to get the whole group to quickly “gel” and agree on an exact itinerary that everyone was happy with (and quickly deal with changes, such as re-negotiating accommodation late on a rainy night when none of us could be bothered to camp!). Overall I think Dave was an extremely good guide and I would definitely choose to go on one of his trips again in the future.”

(Chris Porteous, London, UK)

“Just want to say that if you’ve ever wanted to travel to Alaska, then Dave Patrick is the guy to go with! His knowledge is second to none and goes out of his way to make sure everyone gets the experience they want from the trip! Having traveled to many countries and been apart of multiple group tours, one thing that is constant is the guide really does make the difference between an mediocre trip and a life changing, unforgettable few weeks that you’ll talk about for years to come. Dave is one of those guides!”

(David Watkins, Cardiff, England)

“Back in 2008 I spent 10 days exploring the Alaska wilderness as part of a group. We were really luck to have Dave as our guide. His leadership, knowledge of the area and organizational skills made for the camping trip to go flawlessly throughout the whole time we were there. In addition, his friendliness, jovial personality, team player attitude and open mindedness made every body in the tour feel safe and appreciate the whole experience that is to visit one of the last pristine wilderness in this planet. I highly recommend Dave for any of his tours and hope to, in the future, be a participant of one of this tours again. Alaska is such a vast area I want to visit again soon.”

(Adan Rodriguez-Arroyo, Peñuelas, Puerto Rico)
“I had the pleasure of a cross-country trip in the USA with Dave as the tour leader in the summer of 2005. I had a huge amount of fun and learned a lot. On looking back, it is clear that Dave quickly got to grips with the mood and interests of the group. He was able to tailor our stops to make sure everybody was happy and had something that they were interested in doing – sometimes this involved three or four groups doing different activities/treks etc, but everyone was always happy. Dave had a huge amount of knowledge about both the places we were visiting and the States in general. It made a really refreshing change to some of the other tours I have been on, who just provide a driver who doesn’t seem to know much about the stops along the way. Plus he is a great laugh too!In short, the value-add provided by having Dave as your tour leader in terms of organisation, knowledge and fun is second to none!”
(Mark Timms, London, England)

“I did a coast to coast trip across the US in 2008 and had an absolutely brilliant time thanks to David. He was knowledgeable, friendly and most importantly made sure that everyone was always having a good time. DP did a great job of keeping everyone in a large and varied group happy, and the activities were always varied – from trekking down the Grand Canyon to riding horses through the Rockies, partying hard in New Orleans, gambling in Vegas or just sitting around a camp fire with a few beers. DP helped make it the most memorable trip of my life, I’d have no problems recommending any of his tours to other people.”

(Jasdeep Deol, London, England)

“David is a fantastic tour leader. I had a great time on the trip he lead, and the one thing that struck me about David was that he really made a conscious effort to make sure everyone was having enjoying the trip and involved. He is a true professional. I would highly recommend him for a trip that you are considering.”

(Chris Barry, San Francisco, CA)

“I got to know David as a very responsible and resourceful tour guide, always making the extra effort to satisfy his customers’ needs and wishes. David not only makes a group of travelers from different background and ages come together, but he also pays attention to every individual within the group. He helps them to make dreams come true. He thinks ahead, takes responsibility when needed and acts on it, and is always open for suggestions. Next to all that David is fun to be around and is the perfect tour guide to share knowledge with.”

(Ankie Swakhoven, The Hague, Netherlands)

“In de zomer van 2008 ging ik 2 weken op groepsreis door Alaska met David als groepsleider. Het was een zalige reis, met campings midden in de natuur en een massa avontuurlijke activiteiten, zoals ijsklimmen, zeekajakken, kanoën, walvissen spotten en natuurlijk veel prachtige wandelingen. Dankzij Dave z’n uitgebreide ervaring was alles goed georganiseerd en als het weer tegenviel had hij meteen alternatieve plannen. ’t Is een toffe, sociale vent, waarmee ik met plezier nog vele uren rond het kampvuur of in de lokale cafétjes zou doorbrengen. Alaska met Dave is een absolute aanrader!”

(Caroline Robberecht, Wezemaal, Belgium)

“It’s been 7 years too long since I had the privilege to travel around the USA with Dave! He is without a doubt one of the most fun, interesting, knowledgeable, inspiring and motivational people I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting. I can’t express into words how much the 3 weeks trekking the northern states meant to me. To this day, I still take comfort from the advice and words of encouragement Dave shared with me, back when I was that lost young lady all those years ago! He is an absolute legend and the legacy of his trek still lives on whenever friends turn to me for guidance when about to embark on their own new adventures. If I wasn’t already going travelling again I’d be on it like a Scotch bonnet trying to secure another trek with Dave. Not just because he’s the best trek leader I’ve ever had, but because he’s someone whose made a massive, positive difference in my life and I’m proud to call him my Goonie. If you’re looking for a once in a lifetime adventure filled with good times and lots of laughter, Dave’s your man!”

(Caroline Robberecht, Wezemaal, Belgium)

“Jeg var med David i Alaska i 2008 som en del af en tur rundt om jorden. Havde en rigtig god oplevelse, hvor jeg så bjørne, klatrede på is og så en masse helt fantastisk natur. David var en rigtig god guide, der sørgede for at turen blev helt fantastisk.”

(Mads Goul Bach, Aarhus, Denmark)

“Το 2005 αποφάσισα να πετάξω από την Ελλάδα για κάνω ένα cross country ταξίδι στις ΗΠΑ από το Chicago στο San Francisco περνώντας μέσα από μέρη (πόλεις, εθνικά πάρκα, κοιλάδες και ποτάμια) ασύλληπτης ομορφιάς, γνωρίζοντας μοναδικές εμπειρίες που δεν θα ξεχάσω ποτέ. Η μοναδικότητα αυτού το ταξιδιού οφείλεται σε πολύ μεγάλο βαθμό στον Αρχηγό της Ομάδας μας το David, στην απίστευτα θετική του ενέργεια, στον εξαιρετικό επαγγελματισμό του και στην ικάνοτητα του να συνδυάζει την οργάνωση με την διασκέδαση. Ηταν πραγματικά ένας άψογος αρχηγός, συνοδοιπόρος που στο τέλος έγινε καλός φίλος και τον ευχαριστώ βαθιά.”

(Apostolos Nikolopoulos, Athens, Greece)

“From the get-go, Dave’s excellent leadership skills came to the forefront. He set the scene and joined in the adventure for each and every one of our 60 days in Africa.”

(Dennis and Gillian Gorrick, Sydney, Australia)

“David은 진정 여행을 즐길 줄 아는 리더입니다. 단순히 새로운 곳을 보여주는데 그치지 않고 하루 하루를 새로운 즐거움으로 채워줍니다. 뉴올리언스에서의 춤과 음악으로 가득찬 밤, 라스베가스에서의 다양한 파티들, 그랜드캐년 트렉킹.. 이 모든 것들은 그 자체로도 즐거운 경험이었지만
David과 그가 만들어내는 팀 전체의 하모니를 통해서 더욱 평생 잊을 수 없는 기억이 되었습니다.
다시 한번 말하지만 그는 여행이 무엇인지를 아는 리더입니다.”

(Scott Seungkyu Yoon, Seoul, South Korea)

“Dave is a great tour leader full of energy, enthusiasm, positivity, organisational skills and local knowledge. Just what you need in a leader you are trusting to get you safely travelling through weird and wonderful places. He is also great fun to be around, so hopefully you’ll come away with not just great experiences, but a good friend too. I travelled with Dave through Africa and felt safe, well looked after, and inspired by what I saw. A fantastic experience!”
