If Antarctica has been on your ‘ to do list’ GO!,,
Amazing time had by all, my only negative would be that I did not book to go onto South Georgia and The Falklands due to the time factor. I now have to select photos for my album going to be a long process.
Most Inspirational Moment
It is very hard to pinpoint one part of the expedition but I particularly enjoyed the kayaking you have a chance to get up close and personal with the whales, seals and penguins.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Solan was inspirational as were most of his associates on the ship each having their own personality and knowledge to share.
Advice for Potential Travellers
To prepare well, plenty of layers there is absolutely no need to be cold if you take layers. Crossing The Drake requires medication in my opinion but if yours fails the Doctor is on hand and is extremely supportive.
Suggestions
Food was amazing with plenty of variety and if there was nothing you liked you could order almost anything the kitchen and excellent service too.
Antarctica via Buenos Aires
An amazing and unique experience would highly recommend it’s worth every penny
Most Inspirational Moment
So many highlights but getting to see penguins, seals and whales at close quarters was unforgettable
Thoughts on Group Leader
The expedition leader and all the staff in the team were really helpful, knowledgeable and friendly
Advice for Potential Travellers
Spend time in Argentina before or after your trip. I wish I had tagged a few extra days on to do hhis
Above all expectations!
from start till end this trip was amazing!
Everything went smoothly, from the pre-tour info, to information at the hotel and the logistics of the domestic flights and checking in on the boat. It felt very safe, especially for a woman travelling alone.
The crew on board was excellent! I loved the way every guide had his own ‘field of expertise’ which covered everything you wanted to know (and things you didn’t know you wanted to know ;-)).
The Staff was extremely helpful, happy, smiling and overall serviceminded. It was a pleasure!
Overall the program on board made sure that you almost didn’t have an idle moment, which for me was amazing! And the logistics of getting nearly 200 passengers into zodiacs 10 at the time, went so incredible easy, they crew are really professional and know how to make your experience the best possible.
I can highly recommend this trip to anyone who wants to explore the magic of Antarctica.
Most Inspirational Moment
Antarctica itself surprised in more ways than one – I was expecting rough weather through the Drake passage, but instead we had calm seas and smooth sailing, so we reached Antarctica half a day early, and had our first zodiac trip before sceduled! The amazing weather stayed with us for the rest of the trip, so amazing blue skies and sun every day was really a treat! The wildlife was every were! Once we reached the continent, every time we looked out, we had penguins on almost every iceberg floating by the ship or a whale showing off in the water close by. And the landings on Antarctica itself, with seals lying around and thousands of penguins all around you, just doing what penguins do was so serene and magical. We even had an afternoon where around 50 Orcas were gathering and swimming around the boat for almost 3 hours, so we could just observe. In the zodiacs we got to experience icebergs calving, get close up with leopard seals floating by on an iceflake, and even had some curious humpback whales, so close to the zodiac that we could almost touch them. Not to mention the beautifull icebergs and surroundings that would take your breath away for sure!
Absolutely awesome trip
This was one of the most amazing trips we have ever done. The scenery was breathtaking. The crew and expedition team were cheerful, helpful and knowledgeable. The kayaking with penguins and whales popping up feet away was fabulous.
Most Inspirational Moment
When a humpback whale popped up 10 feet away from our kayaks and just meandered around us for a while.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Solan was wonderful. He has the most calm, funny and inclusive way about him. His voice for the early morning wake up calls is like velvet.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Go! Sign up for the kayaking or some other adventure options. Be flexible. Take loads of camera memory cards and batteries.
Suggestions
This is probably the most expensive trip we have ever undertaken and we have travelled a lot. It was worth every penny. We are now looking at doing one of the Arctic adventure trips.
