@AussieBoyTXWonderful report, thank you!! I’m on Le Boreal’s Great Austral Loop right now. It’s been a similarly amazing trip for us. Am so envious you got to do the Shackleton hike!! Gah - another reason I will have to do this again some day!!
Question, if you don’t mind sharing, how much and who did you tip? The reception says it’s at our discretion, and that it goes into pools unless otherwise directed, but that she cannot suggest an amount. Soooo, any reccos you can provide would be most appreciated.
Response to the poster asking what was the highlight… while we came on this trip for Antarctica (I have a thing with the Heroic Age), and I was soooo happy we got to the Weddell Sea side and stepped foot on the continent proper, South Georgia takes the cake for me. But, to the concern would they be different enough to warrant them both, yes. I’d go to both again 100x over if I could. They are so incredibly different and both so very amazing, they each warrant a visit.
