Hanna from the Contours team visited Antarctica with Quark Expeditions and here is a snippet from her comments upon her return...

"My “Penguin Safari “trip to South Georgia and Antarctica Peninsula by Quark Expeditions, certainly exceeded any expectations I had beforehand.
The M/V Ultramarine was a new state of the art expedition ship with 2 helicopters onboard (purpose was to give each guest an overflight in Antarctica). My cabin was beautiful, large and comfortable with every consideration taken in the design to make such a voyage comfortable.
Everything in the cabin was secure with special locking facilities both in the spacious bathroom and the cabin to keep items in place during rough seas. Plenty of storage and sitting space – not just a place to sleep. Had it been a hotel room , I would have rated it as 5 * accommodation.
The service of the house keeping cabin crew that serviced our rooms was amazing – no request was too difficult and the cabin was kept immaculate at all times. The most outstanding aspect of the Quark Expedition cruise , apart from the ship itself, was the expedition staff.
What a team of dedicated, amazing, informative, creative and hard working people – whose only ambition was to give us passengers unforgettable experiences in the wilderness where we were.
A wealth of knowledge about the wildlife and environment and always willing to help. I felt totally safe in their hands."

The same people were giving us informative lectures during sail times and constantly giving us insight to what we were experiencing and looking at. They made our trip unforgettable.
The equipment onboard to operate various levels of shore excursions and sailing excursions off the ship are of the highest quality and safest options - kept in pristine condition when not being utilized.
The highlights for me on this voyage was being greeted by 60.000 King Penguins on South Georgia Island in a snow blizzard – I felt as if I was part of a David Attenborough documentary."

Five Reasons to visit Costa Rica in the Green (rainy) season
Five Reasons to visit Costa Rica in the Green (rainy) season

Waiting for Costa Rica’s more popular dry season? You may be missing out on the 'pura vida' experience of the green (rainy) season, which runs from May to November. Here are some reasons to visit Costa Rica in the green season, rain showers and all: • Coffee harvest begins: Coffee harvest in the Central Valley begins in the green season, and a tour on a coffee plantation such as Hacienda Doka becomes much more exciting. • Hotel bargains abound: Some hotels drop their rates significantly in the green season, charging about 30 percent less. Ask us for the latest green season hotel promotions. • The rainforest is more exciting: Impossible as it seems, the green season is proof that Costa Rica can be even more lush, abundant, and, well, green. The forest comes alive in the rainy season, especially at night, for example during a Monteverde night walk. • Turtles & whales: A visit in the green season coincides with the turtle nesting and hatching season. Known as the ‘arribada’ (arrival), thousands of sea turtles emerge from the ocean and lay eggs on Costa Rica’s beaches between March and November. Also, the Southern Hemisphere humpback whales travel from Antarctica to Costa Rica from late July through October. Need expert guidance on travel to Latin America, South America or Antarctica?
