Troy describes why you need to be at the airport 2 hrs before your Galapagos flight to arrive “Stress Free” to the Enchanted Islands.
Sighting Galapagos Sea Turtles while snorkeling is just one of the many fantastic underwater experiences you can enjoy during your Galapagos adventure with Go South Adventures.
Galapagos snorkeling is an unforgettable experience. Interacting with the playful, underwater acrobatics of juvenile Sea Lions at arms length, or closer, is definitely a highlight on any Galapagos adventure.
This was our last day in the Antarctic Peninsula, our last day in a surreal dream world of sculpted ice and amazing creatures. In the morning we sail with the Plancius through the beautiful Neumayer Channel and make one last zodiac cruise between the Melchior islands, before we head back into the Drake passage. We have heard that Humpback whales have been sighted.
Antarctic Camping with the Mv Plancius is indeed a one-of-a-kind opportunity, not to be missed by those looking to forgo a nights comfort on the ship for unique experience. What started out as Antarctic camping became another great adventure. Step 1 – find a flat spot, Step 2 – keep looking for a flat spot (the first one you found was an ice sink hole).
Elephant Seals, this far south, what a treat. Elephant Seals and Penguins existing in harmonious indifference..inspiring! Today was an amazing day of wildlife, man vs. ice, more flying penguins and just plain fun.
Antarctica has a special designation as a place for “Peace and Science”. So far, peace is one of Antarctica’s most impressive feats and Antarctic science has provided important research data regarding global climate conditions that affects us all. And thanks to the extra hard work of Ukrainian researchers, Antarctic vodka is a drink to be savored…much like place itself.
