Route 66

I found Rachel Soudakoff to be a standout leader—cool, charismatic, and beautifully confident in guiding everyone. She is fantastic at organizing everything and always steps in to help when needed. Rachel Berry is also great, with a wonderful sense of humor and a genuine willingness to support whatever is requested. Both of them are excellent organizers, and I’m truly glad they were the ones leading the trip.

Sailing British Virgin Islands

Captains Troy, Paul, and Brian were awesome—an experienced, caring team I would highly recommend sailing with. The itinerary, stunning views, and the chance to reconnect with the water and nature make this trip a perfect getaway. I truly enjoyed every aspect of the sailing adventure, from the fresh air and great weather to the wonderful group of people from all over the US.

Private Tour of New Zealand

I had the wonderful opportunity to meet Rachel Soudakoff and she gave me a wonderful private tour on my recent trip to New Zealand. She organized tours with interpreters and showed me and my travel companion off the beaten paths wonders of New Zealand. We kayaked to a cool glow worm cave and a dipped in a secret hot spring. She is so professional and makes travelling to New Zealand stress-free. So highly recommended!

South Korea

I'm so pleased to have had a wonderful experience on a trip to South Korea with a small group of tourists through Deaf Adventures. I was so impressed with Yeh Kim, our tourist leader.  He not only took us to visit wonderful places, he taught us about Korean culture and history, told us folklore stories, and allowed us to experience Korean foods and beautiful gardens. I recommend that if you want to visit South Korea you go with Deaf Adventures. I have no doubt you will have a great adventure!

Wellington Day Tour

The Te Papa Museum was the most compelling I’ve ever been to, and the guides were AMAZING. We were so impressed with how intelligent, intellectual, and outgoing our guides were. We loved their knowledge and their generosity in sharing it with us. We are overflowing with gratitude and are Deaf Adventure advocates for life!

New Zealand

The trip around the South Island was phenomenal! When I met Rachel Soudakoff on the first day of the tour, she exuded friendliness, self-confidence, and passion for life. The tour was full-on and packed with jaw-dropping sights and activities. Going on an accessible adventure with eighteen other deaf signers was a priceless experience. You won’t be disappointed, so see you at Deaf Adventures! The trip around the South Island was phenomenal!
