Hemispheres Unlimited recommends a variety of partner firms to make travel easy for our clients. This work however is strictly in the form of collaboration; no money whatsoever ever changes hands between Hemispheres and any of these companies.
We feel it is important that this be the arrangement because only in this way can clients be assured that our recommendations are based solely on our assessment of the partner firm’s capability to handle their needs, and not based on our potential share of the resultant sales.
As such, please peruse our list of trusted partners but also feel free to put us in touch with any other firm that you prefer to work with for arrangement of your travel needs. We are happy to collaborate with anyone, and look forward to serving you soon!

*Alicia and Fabio are both native Argentines who have been running their business in Walnut Creek, California since 1981. Hemispheres has been working with them for client flight arrangements globally and in-country services in South America for over a decade now. Most of the time they find the best priced flights to get our clients to the water and back home, but that is hardly the main reason we recommend their services. We do so because on those rare occasions when something goes wrong with a client’s travel, they are on it and doing absolutely everything they can to resolve it, usually before we even find out it has occurred. From last minute flight changes that make connections too tight to medical emergencies requiring entire itineraries to be redone, we have seen Alicia and Fabio solving problems so far outside of business hours that we wondered how they ever got any sleep. For flights, hotels, and attractions that need to be handled as part of your trip to come and fish with us, trust Holdy Tours to take care of you the same way they have taken care of us all these years.

That’s where World Nomads comes in and saves the day. With affordable policies and excellent customer service and response times, on the few occasions that we have had to see clients make claims, they have come through for those clients with flying colors.
