Strait of Magellan - A once in a lifetime opportunity and one of the best days of my life, worth every penny and I only wish it had lasted longer.

Worth every penny!! - Seeing all the amazing wildlife was wonderful. It became a thrill to see the whale tail descend (and hear the excited gasps of fellow passengers) or keep your eye ready for a whale spouting water. Curious sea lions visiting the stern of the boat; chatty penguins; and the chirp of birds on the cliff side while breathing the fresh air by the glacier were some of the best moments. Being by the glacier was a moment that needs to be experienced: photos don't do that justice. I had to hold back tears.
Bring your layers and gore tex , water resistant clothing like they suggest. Don't stress about getting a window seat, to see the best you need to get up and go outside on the boat decks.
Loved this adventure! Thanks to the wonderful Brazilian family who sat with me too!

Amazing tour with genuinely nice crew - Two things I want to mention at the start:
1. The weather was OK but not brilliant
2. We saw Whales, but they didn't... you know... jump out of the water and generally be spectacular.
Both of those things can hardly be blamed on the tour, of course. So leaving that aside, I really loved the tour.
We were only about 30 people which left room for a more relaxed and easier connection between ourselves and the crew, which was genuinely so lovely and friendly and nice. And the scenery (amazing landscapes and glacer) and the animals we saw (albatrosses, cormoranes, sea lions, penguins, humpback whales...) were absolutely stunning. Totally loved it!
