Polar 11-Day Tours and Trips

The captain and expedition team really pushed the limits to ensure that we visited as many interesting places as possible and saw a wide range of scenery and ecosystems. The crew were very friendly and helpful, and the expedition team was extremely knowledgeable and experienced in both the Arctic and Antarctic. The ship was very comfortable with a fantastic library and other good facilities, and our cabin was wonderful - peaceful, comfortable and beautifully furnished.

I am very happy to complete my travel wishes to Artic 10 years ago and now Antarctic with my 2 daughters and my wife with the team from this tour operator Great experience

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.

The ship and staff for the journey provided enthusiastic, effective and patient support, with a well-executed itinerary that I'd trust for future trips. Food and accommodation were excellent. Waters were very calm once reaching Antarctica, to relieve anyone's seasickness. Mountain and Glacier landscapes were great. The wildlife in the area is plentiful, where we saw at least some whales, seals and penguins every day we were in Antarctica and probably 20ish whales overall. The animals aren't afraid of humans and so at worst ignore you as you get fairly close. Extra downtime filled with interesting presentations about history, animals, current antarctic science and recent environmental issue affecting it. If you absolutely must have Emporer penguins, elephant seals or Orca, check the season you're going as we saw just a few but they were unusual and not to be expected at the time/places we went. I'd recommend this trip to anyone I knew going to Antarctica who hasn't been there before and doesn't have extremely specific desires for wildlife that I didn't mention. It's fun, comprehensive, and the minimum commitment required for the adventure it offers. This trip took place on the Ocean Endeavor, in early-mid February, on the West side of the Antarctic Peninsula.

We will be recommending this tour operator to anyone and everyone we meet. The guides made us feel like we finally found the types of people we could be forever friends with. It's hard to find such welcoming, genuine, and adventurous spirits like the ones you have on your team. We are sad to leave! As for the shore landings, Orne Harbour was the most beautiful place we've ever stepped foot on. The hike was incredible and the views were breathtaking. The island across from Port Lockroy was kind of a let down and did not need 45 minutes there at all. If Tom wasn't there to chat with, we honestly don't know what we would've done with our time on that island. We have nothing but phenomenal things to say about this trip. What an opportunity that you guys ensured to go above and beyond to make this worth the money and a once-in-a-lifetime adventure that we will never forget! Thank you!

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.
