Were Swoop right to recommend Oceanwide Expeditions?
Yes
Tell us about Zodiac excursions
Yes - enjoyed and felt safe. Most memorable was with one expedition staff (Ursula Tscherter) with a Minke whale.
Tell us about the expedition team
Yes, extremely knowledgeable, they were all very good. Pippa Low (expedition leader) - coordinated masterfully, very impressive Ursula Tscherter - previous experience studying Minke whales...deep SME David Gladden (tall David) - Mountaineering Erin Bastian, Keirron Tastagh - Kayaking Saskia van der Meij - Camping (and lecture on a lesser known exploration team)
Tell us about the Hondius
Yes - already mentioned above.
Do you have any tips or advice for other people planning a trip to Antarctica?
Do not take a large cruise (you'll want <200 people as only 100 can make landfall at a time) - you want an experience that gets you off the boat and onto land regularly.
Do you have any recommendations for Swoop, or feedback about the team?
Alicia was a great person with whom to interact and prep for the trip.
