Were Swoop right to recommend Aurora Expeditions?
Yes
Tell us about Zodiac excursions
I was very scared which is strange as I sail and and am use to getting in dinghies. I think it was the large swells but we spoke to Ashley and had a plan to support me
Tell us about the expedition team
They were super great!
Tell us about the Sylvia Earle
Everyone was so helpful and the ship was superb - more luxurious than we were expecting as was the food which was very good.
Something Else?
We saw wandering albatross and got to land on Elephant island twice - which we understand is unheard of so many thanks

From the beginning your recommendations were well thought out and even though we had different team members - they were all great and helped us be prepared

We had the right kit but the weather got in the way sometimes but Ashley more than made up for it with extra excursions when we could even if it meant getting up really early - it was well worth it!
