I am so happy I chose to travel with Oceanwide for my first trip to Antarctica! The Basecamp trip was ideal because I wanted to experience Antarctica, and by experience I mean seeing everything up close, not from the boat. The ship was small enough that everyone could go on every landing, and the Basecamp model of operating meant that we got to try out a lot of different things, and see the continent in different ways. It's all included in your trip, you just have to get out there and do it. We saw huge penguin colonies, seals, icebergs (even saw a big one flip!!!), got to walk on glaciers, kayak in gorgeous bays. We spent a night camping (highly recommend, even if you're not into camping.) The entire expedition team was overflowing with enthusiasm for the White Continent and were so excited to share their knowledge and experiences with us... and to take us out and show us things, answer questions, and explore!
The people on the trip were a big range of ages, and there were lots of people in their 20's, 30's, and 40's. Many solo travelers as well. I came as a solo traveler and was paired with a great roommate!
Fabulous crew, wildlife better than expected.
Great experience, wonderful staff, many encounters wildlife, excellent food
10 points for Antarctic cruise
Everything is wonderful. The team is perfect and they are all passionate. Seeing emperor penguins and landing in a helicopter on an iceberg are unforgettable experiences. Everything is very well organized. The whole team is friendly, the food good. The landscapes are breathtaking. Don't hesitate, book the expedition to see the emperor penguins.
It was my long time wish to come to Antarctica, and I tried to temper my expectations. But all expectations were exceeded by far! Which was in no small part due to the excellent crew on board. From expedition to hotel to navigation crew, all were the nicest people with great expertise that made this a truly unforgettable journey! I’m already planning my next trip with Oceanwide Expeditions
Words just cannot describe how amazing, absolutely stunning and awesome this trip was, from wildlife spectacles nowhere else on the planet to jaw dropping scenery and expedition leader and guides that were professional, friendly and ensured every single person had the very best experience.
There is simply nothing bad to say about this expedition...
- the quality of the expedition crew was first rate in terms of qualifications, organization, friendliness and knowledge/skills in their field. safety and education always came first but never at the expense of having fun.
- the ships crew was first rate, from the captain to the hotel staff to the catering staff. Got us there & back safely and in comfort, not to mention with full stomachs!
- we were kept as busy as we wanted to be, ie, when not doing zodiac tours, camping, snowshoeing, mountaineering, kayaking, etc, we were giving scientific and historical lectures.
In short, this voyage not only met my expectations but exceeded them, memories I'll never forget.
A well organised trip, catering for a wide range of ages and peoples abilities. Some very good lectures. Plenty of good food and a nice comprehensive library.
I will make this a simple review for my end of November/early December 2023 Basecamp trip. From top to bottom every single aspect of the trip was incredible. Pictures and words do not express how amazing my experience was and I have been fortunate to travel quite extensively and have many types of travel experiences. Also, all the staff were above and beyond friendly adding to the family vibe of the trip while doing their job at a 5 star level. The value for money aspect I feel was incredible as well. When people ask me so how was your trip I simply say the most amazing trip of my life and I am glad I chose Oceanwide Expeditions as the company I took the journey with!!!
We had the greatest trip with Oceanwide Expeditions. I honestly did not know what to expect going into the trip and imagined that Antarctica would be just a place to check off the list. I couldn't have been more wrong, and I am already trying to figure out how to go back. I can't speak for any of the other expedition services, but I can say with certainty that you couldn't do it better than Oceanwide. The staff, ship, activities, food, and experience are beyond first class.
The best company, activities and staff ever. The captain also excellent and professional (we had a rough drake passage).
Allthough due to local circumstances we were only able to explore part of South Georgia, we had a great time seeing such diverse and numerous wildlife. The sea days to cross from Ushuaia to South Georgia were quit rough, but the experience on the island was really worth it
Very Amarzing thing in my life to sea antartic wild life. Ship very comfort. Food was excellent. Staff well prepared.
Good travel and good seawatching with a EXTRA STAFF for a seawatcher like me !
I have been very happy to dsicover a lot of new species for me : SNOW PETREL ; ANTARCTIC PETREL, Many Pingouins and ALBATROSS, PRIONS and SKUAS !
Great Thanks to Oceanwide !!
