Traveling doesn’t necessarily mean being at a destination away from home. It can be the experience of going somewhere, anywhere, and letting the act of traveling add color to your daily life.

It’s this passion that drives us when planning an itinerary for our clients. When you are able to take a break from daily life and travel, we’ll be sure to make getting from point A to point B just as colorful as A and B. Let us make your next vacation an Activated Life Experience.”

Here is the down and dirty. Activities Surfing, ATV thru rainforest and ending at ocean, River Kayak and bonfire, hanging on property by pool & getting massages, going to a local nightclub… Owner and Staff—excellent. Local flavor knows the ins/outs…Owner was former YPO’er and
“GETS IT”—retreat facility on site if your forum chooses to “work” on retreat. Book with this company this year or next…you will not regret it.

Steve developed and executed a parent/child retreat for our YPO chapter. The retreat was brilliant in conception and execution, winning a YPO International “Best of the Best” award for multi-day events. I would highly and without reservation recommend Steve and his Activated Life Experiences operation.
