We saw so many beautifull animals and surroundings! It feels unreal when you are there. Very happy we also did the Falkland Islands and South Georgia. Great expeditionteam and hospitalityteam on the ship.

Most of the time it was enjoyable, there were a few instances where I was hurt or it was really unpleasant.

Wonderful experience .. I wonder why I didn't do it before !!!! Expecially in nov-dec you can find many nesting species and chicks . Great treatment on the ship : you will learn so many things ...

Die Reise startete super, da wir viel sagen auf den Falklands und in Südgeorgien. Aber dann kam der Hammer. Wir führen anstatt in die Antarktis, was natürlich der eigentliche Grund für die Reisebuchung war, zurück nach Ushuaia wegen Motorschaden. Der Clou an der Sache war, dass wir erfuhren, dass das Schiff bereits aus der Reperatur kam, die vorhergehende Reise bereits ausfiel und die Reise davor auch abgebrochen wurde. Na und nun ist das Schiff wieder kaputt, wie ich von Mitreisenden erfuhr, die erneut buchten, um den Verlust der ersten Reise zu minimieren. Mir tun alle Beteiligten leid, egal ob Passagiere oder Besatzungsmitglieder. Mein Fazit: Nie wieder. Mein Lebenstraum wurde zerstört

We took the 19 days tour to Falklands/Malvinas, South Georgia and Antarctica and it was a great experience. The crew, the expedition team and the services staff was outstanding. The Ortelius is a nice small ship that was our cozy home for these days. But, even though the tour was advertised as English speaking there were more than 50% of the passengers that were Mandarin speakers, of which only a handful was able to speak & understand English. Unfortunately there were not enough interpreters on board to deal with that imbalance which led to situations where during zodiac cruises not all people in the zodiac understood what was said. Even though there was only one „little issue“ with this situation during a landing where due to lack of language understanding a person feel into a river, this feeling of insecurity was always around when being of board. While the expedition team did try to overcome the problem by organizing Mandarin speaking only zodiacs it didn’t fix the problem completely as there were not enough interpreters. And frankly, to imagine what would happen in case of a real emergency where people don’t understand what’s being said is very scary and dangerous.

Best company, best trip and best wild life ever! We will book again with OceanWide!

The Atlantic Odyssey, from Ushuaia to Cape Verde, is, for birders, one of the 'must do' expeditions. It's just over a month long but seawatching between islands is often good, and when it isn't, the quality of on-board presentations is outstanding. We were able to access all.islands and see all key bird species with just one exception. Expedition leader was excellent, as was the entire expedition team, in maximising off-ship activities. Food, cabins and WiFi all very good. Overall, an excellent expedition which I thoroughly enjoyed. I can't wait to do Svalbard with Oceanwide soon!

With Mother Nature on our side, we had an amazing expedition on the Remote Weddell Sea Explorer. Reaching 78S on this side of the continent was truly a wonder ... the zodiac cruising, the tabular iceberg landing, the ice floe and fast ice landings, the continental and very unique Berkner Island landings, the wildlife that we were able to view in close proximity. It all combined for a magnificent experience. Excellent expedition team led by Sara Jenner.

Solo travel on Hondius Feb 2025 to Falkland, South Georgia and Antarctica. Saw 7 different Penguin species. Rockhopper, Gentoo, Magellanic, Macaroni, Adelie, Chinstrap & King Penguin. Saw different Whales as well. Minke Whale, Killer Whale / Orcas, Humpback Whales. Saw different birds. Saw different Seals. Fur Seals, Crab Eater Seals, Leopard Seals, Weddell Seals. Beautiful Landscape. Expedition Team great. Crew and Staff great. Love everything about my trip. Worth the money spent. Thanks for the trip log & slideshow. Food is great. Activities great. Love the zodiac cruise and landings.

A fantastic journey. Great Expedition Team. We saw more than ever expected. We will come back. Best choise to travel with Ocianwide.

My wife and I had such a good time aboard Hondius. Pippa and her team were great. We were well taken care of and fed by the hotel team and always felt safe aboard. We got so lucky with the weather and wildlife, which are always big variables in these types of trips. South Georgia is definitely one of the top places I've ever visited and we'll have memories of this trip for the rest of our lives! Thanks for everything!!!

Excellent. Team, service, food, cleaning and all the rest of personal were very professional. An unforgettable cruise.

My husband and I had an amazing 23 day journey to the Falklands + South Georgia + Antarctica! A huge part of this success came from the Oceanwide team — the ability of an expedition mindset allowed the team to be flexible and keep our best interests at heart. Whether that was prioritizing the safety of crew member during a med evacuation, or hopping out on the zodiacs earlier than expected because we came across a pod of 20+ orcas (1 of the biggest highlights of the trip!), the values of the staff speak volumes to the experience we had during our voyage. On and off board we had phenomenal service and communication. Everyone was incredibly kind, patient and knowledgable in their areas of expertise. We could not imagine going with another operator and had the trip of a life time! If you’re on the fence about booking, I say go for it!!! You have to experience the magic yourself :)

What a journey! Never did something comparable. It was just breathtaking, Thanks to all guides, staff and crew of Hondius. You made our journey unforgetable.

Overall an incredible voyage with an incredible crew. A true journey to the southern unknown with passionate and experienced guides and crew. A true adventure of a lifetime!
