    Trip was well organized from the day first to last day. All drivers and tour guides arrived on time and were very professional and polite. I travelled alone and felt extremely safe. Country is stunningly beautiful. I enjoyed exploring nature and saw a lot of wildlife. I would recommend this tour anyone who enjoys nature and looking for some peace and quiet time. Thank you for this great adventure.

    It was a challenging adventure!! We weren’t quite prepared for Drake Passage, but staff let us remain in cabin and delivered our food until the boat stopped rocking. Antarctica is a breathtaking experience we would recommend it to everyone . The penguins are super cool and elephant seals were hilarious. Martín, Fabian , ship doctor José took beautiful care of us. Truly professional staff, all very competent and supportive. Highly recommended.
