What travelers are saying

"The week walking in the Amalfi Coast was superb. All of the walks were well thought through and the guide, Matteo, was extremely well connected and knowledgeable. We were able to take part in a number of visits, such as the gardens in Ravello during each day and had time to look around the Amalfi Coast towns as well. it was a real bonus having a hotel on the coast as we were sometimes able to either walk from there or take a short local bus ride to the starting point of our walk. The out of season holiday was perfect as the roads were relatively quiet and there weren’t too many people at the main tourist attractions. The scenery, particularly with the houses clinging onto the cliffs, was unparalleled and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this trip, the guide, the location and Explore as a company."

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!"
