Overall, how was your trip?

Highlight- the penguins Landscape- I was surprised at how little snow there was and how rocky the terrain was Wildlife - penguins were amazing and the sea lions were very cool People- my travel companions were terrific! We are got along very well. Great group Surprises- accommodations. We expected to be in a thermal tent and instead stayed at the Russian scientific location in bunk beds. It was good but unexpected. Also the weather. We were supposed to leave Monday mid day and do half a day with tours on Antarctica and then half a day the next day and head home. Instead we left late Monday night. Just had time for dinner and bed and then only half a day tour Tuesday because the weather turned bad on Wednesday afternoon.

In one sentence, what did you think of Antarctica? Did it live up to your expectations?

Quick trip but it was everything I wanted.

Would you visit again?

Maybe

How was the service that Swoop provided?

I was happy with the booking. However, more information about things like accommodations would have been nice. I was very satisfied with the voyage but see notes above on the days. No ship but plane ride was very comfortable and the pilot was great Swoop service was good but could have supplied more information

You chose a/an Overnight trip in Antarctica experience. How was that experience?

It was very good and lived up to my expectations It was the correct choice for me I would recommend it More information about the trip overall

If Swoop arranged some of your travel before/after your voyage. How did we do?

All logistics worked out except the time to leave and return from Antarctica Accommodations were great I did receive all travel docs Lots of tips for future travels but too many to write here

How were your experiences on the zodiac excursions and shore landings?

Penguins were the highlight. Because of weather we did not get to see the glacier so a little disappointing No icebergs for us Expedition staff was good

Do you have any tips or advice for other people planning a trip to Antarctica?

I will post some things on TripAdvisor
