    · February 4th, 2018
    I just returned from Spirit of Shackleton trip to the Falklands, South Georgia, and Antarctica. I expected a lot from this trip, and somehow, G Adventures far exceeded my expectations. The zodiac tours were amazing, the crew aboard the Expedition were first class, and the accommodations were very comfortable and well maintained. My only complaint are the pounds I gained eating all that wonderful food! But I'll blame myself for that one. I can't wait to book my next adventure with G.
