“We booked a recent trip to South America and Antarctica with Flight Centre. They suggested Chimu as a tour operator. Who suggested Polar Expeditions. All involved put together a great itinerary that included stopovers/activities in Buenos Aires, Ushuaia and Iguazu. FC allowed sufficient travel times and layovers. The tours and locations were great and interesting. Polar Expeditions and the Ocean Albatross crew over delivered on their promises at every juncture. We were blessed with good weather so every excursion off the boat happened. The on board scientists/expedition team added value to the trip. I recommend booking an excursion not a cruise. Buenos Aires is a beautiful city and the few days we spent there and excursions were good. In Ushuaia we visited Tierra del Fuego National Park, it’s well worthwhile. In Iguazu the excursions are incredible and a must do. We learnt to trust our itinerary, it flowed well and was fit for purpose. From Aus, South America and Antarctica is not a chap trip, but it is so worth it.”

“The expedition team members were very knowledgeable and were responsible for creating a memorable experience. The ship was relatively small meaning it could sail into small bays and the ship's crew and hotel staff were very helpful.”

Describe the aspects of your itinerary that you thought worked really well. All transfers and guided tours worked really well.

Describe the aspects of your itinerary that you thought needs improving Our booking for the Brasilian side of Iguazu falls was a Sunday during a Carnivale holiday period and instead of the usual 5,000 people there were 16,000 people on one track - it was quite overwhelming and claustrophobic. The falls were beautiful and well worth going to but if I'd been aware of the timing I would have done it on a different day.

“We visited Buenos Aires and Iguazu falls and loved it all. The itinerary put together by Chimu was excellent and nicely tailored to our style of travel.”
