What was your most memorable moment?
When the Minke whale swam under our kayak, and then stopped in the center of our grouped kayaks among the broken ice, and proceeded to blow snot at a few of us, 4 times, while poking the tip if his mouth out of the water at us….lasting at least 2 full minutes…then gliding past me underwater (about 1 m) and looking me straight in the eye…..I couldn’t breathe!!

Tell us about the Kayaking
I wouldn’t do any future expedition cruise without doing the kayaking. It was amazing, peaceful, and gave us more freedom than just being on zodiacs. The guides were fantastic as well. It just brings your experience to another level.
