“The trip was well organised in the transfers and hotels were very good and the Antarctic experience was exceptional. All tours arranged went very well and met expectations fully.”
“Planning, staff and crew, food, were great. With minimum 2 landings per day, no two were the same and all were special. Attention to detail was also much appreciated e.g. room buddies, themed dinner nights, lectures and documentaries. The magic of the Antarctic, it's wildlife and icebergs, gets into your system”
“The planing done by Chimu was meticulous. Hotels great,airport pickups always there. Greay variety of destinations. The quality of guides was terrific. We did both private tours and group tours and all worked. Our cruise boat MS Expedition was a highlight but our month in South America(Chile Peru Bolivia) exceded our expectations.”
“I sailed with GAdventures on the MS Expedition from Montevideo to the Falklands, then to South Georgia and on to the Antarctic Peninsula. It was a wonderful trip. I had high expectations, and they were not just met, but exceeded in every regard. The expedition team were experts in their fields, and their enthusiasm was evident throughout our amazing journey.”
“There were many hiccups that were out of Chimu's hands (ship broke down, airline strike etc). Chimu personnel were fully contactable and altered flights, itinerary and vessels within hours. We were able to experience Antartica, Brazil and Patagonia and were upgraded twice for our inconvenience. Chimu staff even came to our hotel and took us shopping whilst we waited for flights to open after cancellation because of strikes in Buenos Aires.”
“Trip organization was essentially good but some of the ground transfers in South America could be better timed - the transfer to the airport in Buenos Aires for example was at 8am when my flight was at 11.55am so not sure why I had to be picked up that early since the airport was only 20 minutes away by car. Overall the trip was well worth it to see Antarctica on a decent expedition ship M/V Ushuaia. Make sure you take good sea sickness treatments for the trip.”
“We had an amazing trip to Antarctica, wildlife, scenery galore! We very nearly didn't make it due to our trip being cancelled due to engine failure, but thanks to Chimu - a replacement was found in the Sea Adventurer - and wow!, what a ship and crew! we cannot thank them enough. Antarctica is a must see destination, and after 30 years of travelling the world it quite simply blew our minds. We will be back. Many thanks Chimu!”
