I will never forget this trip! It has completely changed my life and I realise that is cliche, so let me elaborate. Listening to the inspiring stories from the expedition leaders broadened my goals and made me realise anything is possible. I have learned so much from the lectures opening my mind to a wealth of knowledge. And the experience of being in such a remote area of the world has put life into perspective on many levels. There were numerous character building and humbling experiences that have truly changed who I am as a person. When I say this trip completely changed my life, I truly mean it.

A combination of expedition and comfort holiday, combining to create a magical, and breathtaking experience of the seventh continent. The professional, experienced, highly qualified guide team enhanced the experience at every opportunity, and were all so generous with their knowledge. The itinerary was flexible with the conditions and opportunities, but the twice daily landings and zodiac cruises packed in as much as we could and respected all IAATO protocols. Intrepid are always a trusted company for me - and this trip reinforced they're the company of choice for this type of adventure. Helpful tip: Make the most of it by reading all the material in plenty of time to prep your gear, and booking additional activities that might sell out ahead of time - especially the ice camping!

As a citizen of planet Earth, you need to experience Antarctica AND Intrepid is the best way to make that real: great ship-Ocean Endeavor, incredibly knowledgeable, passionate and considerate expedition staff. Extraordinary food and ship crew + environment protection first.

If you want to get down and dirty, cold and wet, smile wildly and feel like a true adventurer with new friends, an intelligent informative crew, and more food then you'll ever possibly need waiting to warm you up with after every mission outside the ship, help NASA collect scientific data and see more wildlife then you ever imagined.. DO THIS TRIP! I'll never forget this for as long as I live.

Highly recommend this trip with Intrepid! We had a WHALE of a time with the humpback whales, the orcas, penguins and Wedell seals! The polar plunge and sauna was pretty incredible. Love the crew - felt like summer camp in Antarctica!

I am a world traveler and for years, Kenya had topped my list for best travel location , but Intrepid has dethroned it with Antarctica !! The crew, staff, communication and excursions were stellar!

As amazing as the animals and scenery was, the guides absolutely made this trip. Every single guide was knowledgeable and enthusiastic.

If you want to experience Antarctic nature really intimately and actively, do some citizen science, learn a lot, and meet interesting and adventurous people, in a homey and eco-friendly ship full of caring folks who are passionate about Antarctica, then Intrepid is the only way to go.

Totally beyond expectations. The continent was stunning, the guides knew where to take is for the best experiences. The ship was comfy and the crew so hospitable. A real trip of a lifetime, unforgettable.
