Falklands, South Georgia & Antarctic Adventure Reviews

South Georgia and Falkland island was good but Antarctica it was just covered for the sake of showing us and it was totally different than the itinerary which was promised. You can look at the logs of ships to see where they took us in Antarctica. They just wasted 3 days and not showed us anything in Antarctica. Please look at the ship logs and I have sent email to Malva(Swoop resource) what ocean wide provided after trip and what ocean wide shared before trip. They did the same ship route back and forth and wasted 2 days to cover that in Antarctica that is something any person will say its blunder.

Observing the longest and largest standing iceberg A76 currently in the world. It was so big I couldn't capture it on my phone camera. The overall experience of visiting such pristine and beautiful continent was absolutely amazing and awesome.

Great scenery and wildlife good opportunities for taking pictures

Landings in South Georgia. Stepping off the zodiac into Sailbury Plains where there are thousands of king penguins and fur seals just waiting to greet you.

Fantastic experience, would recommend to anyone interested in wildlife and the history of the area. Great informal atmosphere with no cocktail parties

Lots of wildlife - penguins galore, eggs & chicks. A humpback whale breaching close to the boat, orcas poking their heads up between the ice. Guides & staff were fantastic -nothing too much trouble. Loved going out on the zodiacs & lots of landings. Visiting a research station was very interesting. Getting close to wildlife, hiking on a glacier. Food on board was excellent. Drake passage was a 'rock & rolling ' adventure!!!!! Being chased by fur seals on the beach & having enormous elephant seals getting up close & personal!!

Sunrise landing on Saint Andrew’s Bay, South Georgia

All of it, for different reasons: the weather, wildlife, nature, the expedition team and the boat plus its staff all contributed to making it a great experience!

It was outstanding in every way

Overall, it was a fabulous trip, something I had dreamt of doing since the late 1960's. Financially, I have only now been able to do it and I was absolutely thrilled by the whole package and experience. A personal experience of exploration and learning which I will always treasure.

We went to see wildlife and we saw every species we had hoped to see and in greater detail and much closer than expected! We had humpback whales playing about our zodiac! The landscapes were as expected however our captain used the landscapes to make our sailing experience better than nature was offering. We met wonderful fellow travelers, any one of whom we would be delighted to meet again or host in our home. Our most magical moments were interacting with fellow travelers and wildlife.

Too many highlights, 500,000 penguins in your field of vision at one time, 6 humpbacks surfing right next to our boat, a minke whale popping up right next to our zodiac, having a baby elephant seal virtually climb on top of me (thinking I was it's mother). We were really lucky to have a great group of people and friends on board, even luckier to have some people in 28-35... Which isn't too normal given the high prices. Most magical... Too hard to call between the above mentioned

Seeing whales feeding at sunrise

The wildlife and scenery was amazing. I was so impressed with the expedition and ship crew who really made every effort to give us as many experiences as possible. We were lucky with the weather, which nobody can control. The biggest surprise was that the trip was 60% German speaking. I don't know if that is typical.

Very difficult to answer - the immensity of all that was around us every day was spectacular, the individual sightings of things like orcas and beak nosed whales, the wildlife, the blues of the ocean and the icebergs, the friendly and fun staff. It was all part of the memories.

Wildlife encounters up close while kayaking (with humpback whales and seals and penguins)

St. Andrews Bay and seeing the entire beach covered in king penguins and their babies. Also cruising through icebergs and seeing the calm/still sea in Antarctica.

Close encounters with wildlife

The day we saw the Orka and the humpback whales feeding.

Very good indeed, saw everything we expected to see, we were lucky to be onboard with very like-minded people. Most magical moment was waking up to the Antarctic ice flows. VERY GOOD surprise with the closeness to the animal life (though would have liked to have been closer to the many humpbacks we saw!
