The horse driver Aiden, was very informative about the park, movie sets, celebrity stars and my favorite movie balto. The ride was magical and made my significant other very happy and emotional. Subtle hints were given to me about the Bow Bridge, where I got down on one knee and proposed. A professional photographer was set up on the bridge acting as a civilian. Once I got on one knee the photographer starting capturing away, us together, the engagement ring, the various backgrounds of Central Park. To top it off she followed us on bike and took more pictures while we were on the ride back to the entrance. Overall it was a beautiful and fun filled night. Oh and she did say yes! If you have never been to Central Park or even if you have, this carriage service makes it an experience to remember.

He is friendly, knowledgeable, and fun, and he did everything to make us comfortable and happy.

People on the sidewalks were dancing and singing along with us, and it was so much fun. Thank you, Alex!

Not only were they expensive, but it took days for him to get back to me. I got better results by booking the trip myself for way less than the rates quoted.

He seemed extremely uninterested and lazy in attaining my business.

We wanted…read moreto feel like kids again and we did, except this time very pampered and spoiled kids :) We stayed on property with a deluxe dining plan and Angelo was kind enough to make all the reservations for us for the entire trip. He planned which days we would be at which park after doing research on what hours each park would be open each day, and he also made our fast pass reservations for us. This was the least amount of work I have ever had to do when planning a trip and my husband and I are both truly grateful to Angelo for his hard work and excellent service. He was very attentive and accessible by both phone and email. He even got in touch with me on our first day to make sure everything went smoothly. I highly recommend Wishes Come True Travel. We will absolutely be using Wishes Come True Travel again for our future travels to Disney and beyond.

It was clear that the hosts were careful to keep everything neat and clean. The best part was chatting by the campfire over grilled food, then drifting off to sleep to the sound of crickets and the ocean waves.

The clean ocean air and absence of city traffic noise was an excellent experience. Thank you, Camp Rockaway! I hope more people will benefit from such an exhilarating experience. I felt cared for and very happy.

Not good value for money. Dont get me wrong. The hosts at the site are courteous, beach is great…read morebut overall the glamping at Camp Rockaway left much to be desired. At 249$/night one would expect a little more than what was provided. Tents during day time and evening are uninhabitable almost. The tent has 2 mini fans (6 by 6 inches wide) which are solar powered and they don't provide sufficient ventilation to its occupants. No power sockets to charge your phone at the tent site. There are no nearby bike rentals which limits the experience at Camp Rockaway. You are better off staying in Brooklyn at any hotel (100$/night tops) and commute to the beach and spend your day here.

We could not have been happier with Off season Adventures…read more We're pretty seasoned travelers, having planned our own trips to Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, southern Mexico, and other remote places, but I was pretty overwhelmed on where to begin with Tanzania. In stepped Off season Adventures, who worked with us on a custom itinerary that included exactly what we wanted to do, plus activities we had hadn't considered or even knew were possible. On top of that, they matched us up with a great driver who was with us the entire way. What was supposed to be trip to the Serengeti turned into so much more. We went to elephant and giraffe sanctuaries, stayed in a Masai lodge/hut, went on a morning hunt, and saw 4 different national parks. Our driver was very experienced and managed to get us up close to leopards, cheetahs, and the big 5, while also knowing the names of every plant, tree, and bird we saw. We were happy with every lodge we stayed in (impressive, as we stayed in 7 different ones!). We had a few unusual activity requests and Off season went above and beyond to incorporate all of them. Off season worked through every detail with us, responded to every question we had (usually within minutes), compiled every bit of information we needed, and were with us every step of the way. They did all of this all within a pretty aggressive budget and schedule. On top of all of that, Off season prioritizes responsible tourism, with important social projects, carbon offsets, and an emphasis on not just visiting Tanzania but learning about and understanding the people who make it such an amazing place. Thank you for the amazing trip, Off season Adventures!

A safari was on our bucket list -- some day. In January we attended the Boston Globe travel show…read morefor the first time and our name was randomly picked out of a jar for $500 towards a safari from a company exhibiting at the show: Off Season Adventures. I turned to my partner and said "I guess this is the year for that safari." We met Tanner and his Tanzanian partner Hosea. We talked and expressed one concern: we're gay and would that be a problem. We were assured it would not be. Over the next several months we worked with Tanner to develop a trip that met our interests. We wanted to add a couple of extra days, to get to know the people not just go on game drives, to have a private tour, and to end the trip with one week on the beach. Tanner listened. The trip Tanner and Hosea put together was perfect and it resulted in one of our best ever vacations. The trip started with three days of game drives through Tarangire and Lake Manyara parks, followed by two days of meeting with local tribes and residents in their environments. The last three days were wonderful game drives through Ngorongoro Crater and the Serengeti. We then flew from the Serengeti to Zanzibar and the beach. Each game drive was filled with watching animals roam and live in their environment and each held surprises and rare sightings of cheetahs, lions, leopards and even a rare rhino. Over the course of the game drives we saw more that 40 different animals and numerous bird species. Hosea had an amazing ability to spot animals hundreds of yards away when we needed our binoculars to discover what he had seen without them. We learned much about how animals live, interact, and use their environment for their benefit, how giraffe's tongues were designed to avoid the sharp spines of the acacia tree, how elephant dung was a vital component of the ecosystem, watched as ostriches enacted their mating ritual, learned why zebras migrate together with wildebeest, and watched the antics of blue monkeys and baboon families. Lions, elephants, zebras, and giraffes wandered within feet of our safari vehicle. We visited with three tribes - the nomadic bush-living Hadzabis, who led us on a two-hour bush hunt, including eating a bird that they had killed with their bow and arrow and cooked in the bush. Back at their camp we watched as they joyously sang and danced. The Datoga Tribe is noted for their metalwork, using rudimentary tools we watched as they turned a 4-in. nail into an intricate barbed arrow. Finally, we went on a walk with a leader of the Iraqw tribe, herders and farmers. He invited us into this home where we watched as his wife cooked a meal. We also visited a water well partially funded by Off Season Adventures and Dry to Green, which supplies several villages. A visit to a school, including a math class with complicated equations on the blackboard, opened our eyes to how education was a serious endeavor despite rudimentary facilities. Thirst for learning was palatable. All this was organized because of our interest in learning more about the people and the country. All the camps and hotels that we stayed at were top notch. Every person we met throughout the tour was unreservedly happy, I can't point to another country where the people were as friendly as here. Off Season Travel also organized our final week on Zanzibar, including finding a local architect to give a half-day tour of historic Stonetown -- because of our stated interest in architecture. The hotel they found for us was on the best part of the beach in Kendwa, with great facilities and a wonderful, friendly staff. A great sunny ending to our Tanzanian visit. We would recommend to any of our friends and family or anyone else who is curious about going on a safari to work with Tanner at Off Season Adventures. They will get an experience that will not only live in photos but also in their memories.
