Amazing family trip

by Berber Gieles

Departure in December 2019

Region: Antarctica

Destinations: Antarctic Peninsula

Ship: m/v Hondius

This trip is easily the most beautiful trip I have ever taken. When sharing my experience with family and friends upon returning home, I find that words fail to describe the beauty and stillness of the Antarctica and all its inhabitants! The guides worked so so hard to provide us with the best possible experiences every day and they were very knowledgable and passionate about their field of work. I also really enjoyed the workshops that were more science related, with two researchers who were doing actual research on bioacoustics on the Antarctica. This was informative and inspired me for my own studies as well :-) The photography workshops given by the two photographers were also really nice and made me much more confident in taking wonderful pictures. Lastly, the ship and its crew deserve a big big thank you for being so tirelessly hospitable and warm to all the guests.
