What travelers are saying
"Die Reise im Jan. 25 nach Falklandinseln - Südgeorgien und Antarktis bleibt ein unbeschreibliches Abenteuer, das muss man einfach erlebt haben - mit Wetterglück und Gletscher A23a. Wir konnten viele Zodiac-Fahrten und Anlandungen unternehmen und die Vielfalt der Tiere hautnah miterleben. Das Expeditionsteam war professionell, das Essen und Trinken gut und die Angestellten auf dem Schiff sehr nett und hilfsbereit. Mit dem An-und Abreisepaket hat alles bestens geklappt. Vielen Dank! Waren vor einem Jahr mit der Sea Spirit in Grönland - ebenfalls super! Wir empfehlen Poseidon Expeditions für eine unvergessliche Expedition!"

What travelers are saying
"I worked with Garvey to plan my dream trip to Patagonia. It was a two-week trip, we started in Buenos Aires, took the Australis cruise through the Tierra del Fuego fjords, visited Torres del Paine staying at the Explora Lodge and ended the trip in Santiago. All of the guides that Garvey arranged for excursions were excellent. Garvey managed the travel logistics between the different locations so that our experience in South America was seamless. Overall Lost World Adventures was a great travel agent for us. I had worked with this company previously for a trip to visit Angel Falls in Venezuela and hike the Machu Picchu trail in Peru, which was also fantastic."
