Overall, we loved our expedition! The ship, it's staff and crew, the lectures, the food, the nature and the wildlife...
Overall, we loved our expedition! The ship, it's staff and crew, the lectures, the food, the nature and the wildlife were all terrific, exceeded expectations. There were a few issues that I would site. 1. I never knew (and still don't ) understand the relationship with Colette and tourradar. It seemed like we received repetitive info from Lindblad/Nat'l geographic and Colette which was somewhat confusing. However, the real issue was that we were advised to book our return flight back on Tuesday evening the 17th, which brought us back to mpls on the 18th, when in fact, we could easily have taken a flight out on the 16th when over 90% of the other expedition travelers departed from Buenos aires international. There was NO ISSUE with time as our ship docked in Ushuaia on sunday nite, the 15th. This was MOST upsetting to my companions and selves as we ended up extending the trip needlessly, primarily due to Colette's misinformation. In essence, we lost a day of work, and our return home was delayed. This was an issue that we had repeatedly discussed prior to booking our flights. We had been led to believe that we needed the extra day to guarantee we'd catch our flight, which clearly was not the case. 2. Being that this is quite a high end expensive trip, it seemed like it would have been better had the waterproof pants and boots been loaned out versus rented at what seemed like an exorbitant price. (pants were $48/pp for the week, while the shop aboard the ship sold them for $60...) Yes, we knew that we were renting, but were under the impression that the pants wee more substantial like fleece lined ski pants. In any event, kind of felt like "nickel and diming" when they could easily have been included. After all, everyone received a free parka, which was lovely, but it seems like the ship should just lend out pants and boots to those who need them. (I believe that's what happens on other higher end excursions) 3. Finally, it was a bit confusing regarding wifi access. We thought that there were areas in which we could freely access internet, however, that wasn't the case. In any event, even when we paid for time, the access was poor at best. Having said that, it probably is one of those things that is best given for free to passengers, with the caveat that connectivity might be poor due to location. 4. Along the same lines, I guess it would have been nice to just be given the video of the trip for free at the end of the week as opposed to buying the thumb drive for $50. all of the "extra" costs could easily have been rolled into the overall price, as opposed to tacking them individually on as extra costs. For the cost of the trip, having to pay for these extras seem a bit ridiculous. I don't believe that Colette really knew the details of this particular tour and I know that I wouldn't use them again, primarily due to the timing of return flights at end of trip! By the time the trip ended, we just wanted to return home after such a long travel day (as the majority of the passengers did,) yet were informed that it would be best to stay an add'l day so as not to miss a flight home, which wouldn't have happened given the actual schedule. In terms of Tour radar, I can say that Jesse and all the other reps who assisted me were terrific and most helpful. It is b/c of Jesse that I continued to book with TourRadar. even though I learned from passengers on the trip that I could have just gone straight to Lindblad to book directly. Again, overall , it was excellent and a most memorable adventure, I am quite happy that I was able to do this expedition. I highlighted the above issues in response to your query, but I imagine it is up to Lindblad /Nat'l Geo to respond to the financial issues, and TourRadar/collette to the timing of the flight back to the states. PS none of us in our group recall getting a reading list that others seemed to have received.Show more

- ColletteOperator•Written December 2025
  Whenever the itinerary mentions a panoramic view of something or a walking tour, it is usually just a surface or observation type of attraction. When the itinerary states that something is a visit or we see the inside of something, it will be an included immersive attraction.
- ColletteOperator•Written December 2025
  During our Patagonia tour program, the views of the Magellan penguins mentioned on Day 11 are from the Zodiac boat. Travelers will not have the opportunity to step onto shore where the penguins are. There are strict rules and policies that must be followed regarding this habitat.
