We couldn't have had a better experience. We could not have done this trip without Chimu's organisation. They ensured that we were picked up on time for connections. They organised accommodation and cultural tours and experiences in Buones Aires.
Once on Intrepid's Ocean l expedition team took over to ensure that all excursions and activities ran sermlessly. We had great weather and managed 9 excursions out on the Zodiacs, with each landscape and landing different from the last. The landscape gives you a sense of how insignificant you are. Lectures and briefings had a scientific and historical focus with an emphasis on Antarctica's ecology and biodiversity.
I was fortunate enogh to particiipate in the Photography group liead by 3 highly experienced photographers. The photography group was the first group out and about each day to find the iconic shots of icebergs, penguins, seals, whales etc.
Meal times were flexible to cater for changes in excursions. The meals on the ship were great, catering for all tastes. The Argentinian Malbecs were pretty tast as well.
The Ocean Endevour was comfortable, and the crew were always there to cater for all ourneeds. The expidition group kept us informed of daily updates and briefings. There must have been hundreds of things that all had to come together to make the daily activities work and somehow it just happened..
Well done.
