True Expedition travel The best part about my expedition to the Arctic was the expedition staff/guides. They made the he most of our environment, each day seeing what conditions were like and planning the day accordingly. If conditions changed they would do everything to get us out there experience the amazing environment and wildlife. You never know when a blue whale might show up!I loved the unexpected thrills of what was unknown out in the arctic environment. I can’t wait to go somewhere with Zegrahms again.

Zegrahm gets my highest recommendation… Zegrahm gets my highest recommendation possible. I recently returned from a 13-day Seychelles exploration and snorkel/dive adventure beginning in Zanzibar, visiting something like 9 Seychelles Atolls and islands for tons of daily snorkeling and diving, and finishing in Mahe where we departed from. This was absolutely the best cruise/group experience I have ever had on either land or sea. Zegrahm charters the boats and I was lucky enough to be on the Ponant ship, Le Bougainville, which is very posh, with a friendly and polite staff, an amazing french chef, good food, a nice spa, you name it. My bedroom was like a small luxury hotel and each room had a balcony so you could enjoy seaside and ocean views from your bed or balcony whenever you'd like. It was lovely. I especially appreciated coming back to such a haven after long days of sunshine, beach and snorkeling. Not only was the cruise ship and it's staff fantastic, but the Zegrahm staff were all wonderful. I sat and had dinner with many of them every day and they somehow remembered all our names (99 or so of us). They snorkeled and dove with us, pointing out fish and naming species, they went birding, they provided lectures in the mornings and evenings in their areas of expertise, because Zegrahm hires Marine Biologists, Anthropologists, and countless other individuals (with PhDs) to provide insight and lessons into the history and ecology of the places being visited and seen. At the conclusion of the trip - I didn't want it to end. I had made several like-minded friends for travel, was invited on future trips and exchanged information with almost everyone. We were a family by the end, both staff and customers. Hugs all around as we celebrated all we had seen together and promised to keep in touch. Zegrahm fosters that type of environment when you travel with them - and it was welcoming and especially enjoyable for a solo traveler like myself. These trips aren't cheap - but are worthwhile for all you see and do - most things you'd never be able to see on your own and certainly not with trained ecologists and marine science experts. I believe you get what you pay for. I was one of the youngest on board but there was a small group of about ten 30-40 year olds with the vast majority being probably 50-80. This isn't a sit on the boat all day-type thing. You are going to be waking up early, going out 2-3x a day and really seeing and doing things. You almost never have down time and you are always learning, seeing, talking and doing. It's expeditionary, not sedentary. It's fun and really enriching. The best way to know someone is doing a good job at this price point (think around $8-12k per person) is repeat customers and I met countless people who have done 6-12 of these expeditions with Zegrahm and knew the staff already. That's the absolute best recommendation you can get. I'll be booking with them again without any hesitation. Thank you to Brad, Murph, LJ, Merel, Steven, George, George K., Robin, Pepper, Lisa, Shirley, Gemma, Chris, Boli, Marcel, and anyone else who I forgot from this amazing trip. You all did a great job and made me feel like family!

Of course a bloke was not prepared for… Of course a bloke was not prepared for the experiences in Antarctica aboard the Zegrahm Antarctica 2018 Expedition . You just cannot be . Nor for the extraordinary team Zegrahm put together to look after and inform and ensure ever need of every passenger is met . Their intelligence, passion and everyday kindness was a credit to Zegrahm.

Unexplored Australia An excellent itinerary, right up with the best we have experienced with Zegrahms in our many travels with them. They showed us an unique part of our own country in a pleasant and informative way which was better than we could have done by ourselves.

The best expedition company on the… The best expedition company on the planet! Truth. Zegrahm’s attention to detail is an understatement. The depth of knowledge of the expedition staff is nonpareil. Do yourself a huge favor. Travel with Zegrahm. It’s worth the price of admission!
