Falklands, South Georgia and Antarctic Peninsula 20 days
Aboard:
This trip offers the best of all worlds. The more temperate Falkland Islands provide a breeding ground for 60 species of migratory birds along with the native eponymous Rockhopper penguin. Visitors also experience the step-back-in-time friendliness and culture of the local inhabitants. South Georgia is the jewel of the South Atlantic with spectacular breeding colonies of King Penguins and albatross along with many more species of birds and mammals, all in a magnificent setting. The Antarctic peninsula provides the opportunity to not only view unique wildlife close-up but also set foot on one of the last great wildernesses on earth.

Now that I am back from my odyssey voyage, I thought I would let you know that after all that planning it really did exceed my expectations – we managed landings everywhere even on Tristan da Cuhna and had great bird sightings. The guides all knew what they were talking about too and made sure I got some great photos – still sorting them all out! Thanks for everything and see you at Birdfair!
Dave MartinOverall I think that it was an excellent trip that was well worth the price paid and I would have no hesitation recommending your company to others.
Steve SuttonJust a quick note to express my sincere thanks to you and all your staff for making this an epic adventure of immense proportions. Everything went smoothly, pickups, hotels and most of all the expedition itself. Truly a mind blowing experience unlike any I have ever taken.
