1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your vacation?

The entire expedition and crew were amazing, but I'd have to say our wedding was the most memorable, although the polar plunge comes in a close second place, lol!

2. What tips would you give other travelers booking this vacation?

Bring lighter layers of clothing as it can get warm on the peninsula on some days.

3. Did you feel that your vacation benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?

It definitely reduced environmental impacts and supported conservation through close observation of tourists going off tracks or bringing restricted items on landings.

4. Finally, how would you rate your vacation overall?

Fantastic, best trip ever. The crew of the ships are all terrific people and definitely played a big role in making this trip so memorable!

1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your vacation?

The close sighting of a pod of Orca attacking a Humpbacked Whale and penguins. Bird watching from the ship. Visiting the mainland at Neko Harbour. The ideal size of the ship and friendliness of the other passengers and crew.

2. What tips would you give other travelers booking this vacation?

Don't bother taking your own warm boots. Those provided were perfectly adequate with our own waterproof walking shoes for deck walking.

3. Did you feel that your vacation benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?

Yes

4. Finally, how would you rate your vacation overall?

A wonderful experience
