What our customers think of Antarctic Basecamp Adventure

10/10 - This was a well-organised expedition. There was plenty for us to do. We were able to do kayaking, camping, mountaineering and the polar plunge. We went to different islands and cruised every day. We were never on the boat for long.

10/10 - The way this is set up, you are given the opportunity to participate in all activities with only weather as a possibility of affecting this. You are able to see so many landings and all of the wildlife.

The boat and everyone was great. Like it was a perfect fit for what I wanted to do. I am not a ship guy, but it was great. The presentations, itinerary and just the whole setup was really thought out well. Stuff you didn't know you would need was provided.

After like 10 days of being constantly impressed by everything (sights, food, crew) and it was like “they outdo themselves every day. It was awesome, and to be honest, I feel like what I paid was under what it was worth, but it would be hard to explain that to anyone before going!

The zodiac cruises are amazing! At first I thought: 'what are we going to do for so long in such a small boat?'. But every time it felt like I blinked twice and we were already back on the ship. There is so much to see! And the guides are amazing too - they seem to know everything. And they have a very high respect for nature which I really loved.
