Best Experience of My Life

by Meagan Roecker

Departure in November 2022

Thank you to Oceanwide for the most amazing experience on the Basecamp cruise on Hondius this November. The panoramic picturesque views surrounding you at all times, the incredible wildlife encounters, and adventure activities made it the best trip of my life. What made the experience all the better was the expedition guides. We were fortunate to be able to learn from them and spend time with such kind, knowledgeable, adventurous people. All of them brought such an interesting background and stories to tell. The photography guide, Ross Wheeler, made a particular impact. On our zodiac ride, he personally coached me with my camera, swiftly maneuvering the zodiac around and guiding me to ensure I captured epic shots. Additionally, he provided premium tips on how best to capture the orcas that we were fortunate to see, prioritizing ensuring I was getting the best shots versus focusing on his own. He then went over and beyond reviewing my shots at the end of the day and helping me select and edit my best work. I’m very grateful for all of Ross’s advice and guidance and will take that knowledge with me as I continue my photography passion. A truly unforgettable experience.
