There were a lot of glitches associated with the trip. Most were beyond the control of Poseidon but it made it rather a challenging trip. We lost several days in South Georgia which was very disappointing. Flights to the Falklands & back were problematic, arrived at the airport only to be told the flight was cancelled. We had to pay for a nights accommodation & lost a day of the trip. There was no rep from Poseidon to help us regroup. Then once we arrived in Stanley, we didn’t even start for South Georgia for 3 days due to weather. What should have been an intensive South Georgia experience was no better than a trip that included Antarctica. It seemed that we spent 1/2 the trip traveling. Intensive South Georgia trip it was not!Show more

  Does the date is also offered at Tour Radar with the discount (currently we can get 13% discount with the black friday and the coupon). We are also very interested in the kayaking, and probably would not book if we cannot do the kayaking.

  Traveler•Written November 2024
  Ah and also the question if the 795$ kayaking is per person or per boat.
- Poseidon ExpeditionsOperator•Written November 2024
  The kayaking fee is per person.
- Poseidon ExpeditionsOperator•Written November 2024
  At the moment kayaking is booked and I can not guarantee that the space will open up, but it is possible. As for the discount, the 17 Dec - 28 Dec 2025 is not part of the promotion.

  Traveler•Written November 2024
  You said the 27 dec 2026 is fully chartered. But the cruise on tour radar is for 27 Dec 2025, not 2026 and is still marked as available? So we can book this one?
- Poseidon ExpeditionsOperator•Written December 2024
  The cruise on Dec 27th, 2026 indeed is fully chartered. It is also mentioned on our website as "sold out". We will contact the Tourradar team about it.
