10 out of 10
Were Swoop right to recommend Albatros Expeditions?
Yes
Tell us about Zodiac excursions
We felt very safe and the zodiac tours (especially when included landings) were by far the best part of the trip. It also made a huge difference when the pilot/guide was more experienced and willing to take us on the ride vs guides which were just following commands, or doing just the basic.
Tell us about the expedition team
Overall, the expedition team was great! Special thanks to Claudia, who was an incredible leader and organized all the logistics. Among the staff members, special thanks to Olivia, Heleen, Eddie and Vicky, who seemed very knowledgeable and gave us great lectures. Emilio and Mauro also became great friends. On a negative note, some guides had very poor English and their lectures were extremely hard to follow, as well as important messages that were announced by them and were hard to understand. Most noticeably Lorence and Gonzalo. Cherese was a sort of a disappointement too. Her lectures were very good, but she seemed unfriendly and unwilling to help with whatever went beiond the basics. The waste of a highly talented person.
Tell us about the Ocean Victory
The ship was great - no complaints! The crew was awesome, always frinedly and helpful. The food was good, although it felt a bit repetitive after 18 days, which is quite understandable given the logistics complexity! Overall, it was a 10 out of 10!
Do you have any recommendations for Swoop, or feedback about the team?
Special thanks to Lou and Ale, who were extremely friendly and helpful throughout the process! =]
