I am totally ready to return to Antarctica! It certainly was the trip of a lifetime! Seeing Lauren was so wonderful and she is a tremendous expedition leader. We were able to go the farthest south of the Antarctica Circle that she and the other crew members have not been due to warmer weather this season and Lauren’s leadership. The kayaking was just amazing and I am so glad I had the opportunity to experience it. The polar plunge was a real treat too, and I am so glad I did it! Being on land was such an amazing experience and the wildlife was tremendous. We are so fortunate we had such a wonderful expedition and got home safely. Thanks again for all of your tremendous help and I hope to go to the Arctic in the future.

Everything exceeded my expectations, and I am so grateful it was all able to work out so well last minute. My Antarctica trip was really a magical experience and the crew and expedition team were outstanding. It was gorgeous beyond what I could have imagined. Heather’s intimate knowledge of the experience was super helpful. She chose a suite for me located mid-ship, which meant more stability during the Drake Passage crossing. She also connected me to a local gear rental company for waterproof pants and mittens. Plus, she helped me negotiate an extra night at the hotel before the trip.

Our Antarctic experience was truly great!!! All of the coordination with Heather and making all the plans and arrangements was certainly well worth it. Starting, the first two nights in Ushuaia were excellent. It provided time to recover from the long travel as well as to see another part of the world. The National Park trip was interesting and worthwhile. We were impressed with the Hebridean Sky ship: well-appointed and a feeling of “classy”. We were very pleased with the expedition staff …. Professional, knowledgeable, friendly, approachable, and well trained. We learned a lot from the scheduled presentations and were able to apply that information while “on the ground/snow/ice”. The nine off-ship excursions we had were exceptional. We saw and experienced things we’ll probably never see again: an iceberg doing a 180, glaciers cracking and falling into the ocean, 1000s of penguin and learning they “stink”, historic buildings from past enterprises, hiking over rocks and snow, cruising around in the Zodiacs, and simply experiencing something we’ll never do again. Excellent and well worthwhile trip and experience!!!
