Tour on the small cruise ship Ocean Endeavor advertised as "adventure travel" included multiple 4-9 hour bus tours to land-based sites. These trips had 50+ folks on board. These trips were in complete contrast to a tour by Adventure Canada on the same ship 2 years ago ("Arctic Safari") to West Greenland/Baffin Island/Resolute) where the "adventure" spirit was MUCH more in evidence. The inclusion of so many bus excursions on the North Atlantic tour was not adequately described in the preliminary tour info packet, in our opinion. Other aspects of the tour such as interpretive lectures (geology, local history, birds, marine mammals, plants, and the arts), meals, accomodations, and ship entertainment, were indeed excellent, as on our Arctic Safari tour. So, in our opinion, if the spirit of adventure travel does not include coach tours, we might advise you to inquire very closely with the tour operators on this particular journey, in order to ensure you pair the best possible tour to your particular interests.
