Tell us about Zodiac excursions
We wish there were more of them! But felt completely safe at all points in time! the staff was amazing. We even had a zodiac stall on us and have to have an emergency tow and another member board the boat to get it started again and we felt calm and safe throughout the entire thing! No issues on our end. Some of the guests later in the day got an amazing experience with Orcas that we missed out on because we had gone in the first group that day. We were sad that we didn't get an opportunity to see the orcas up close like the other guests did.
Tell us about the expedition team
Amazing group on the expedition team! Ilene the sea kayaking leader was amazing and we loved her. He kayaking excursion was a hot item amongst the guests and we were so thankful to have the opportunity to go on the kayaks but we felt bad there were multiple guests who wanted to do kayaking and they didn't get to. Also due to the extra cost of the kayaks I almost wish it was its own timeframe and you didn't have to give up a zodiac trip or landing to do the kayaking.
Tell us about the SH Vega
The ship was stunning! Very comfortable and homey feeling, but also luxurious at the same time! Food was wonderful and Gordon took the time to really cater to the vegans in our group which was so amazing. We would love to do another trip on this ship!
