G Adventures commented on this reviewThanks Arindam for the rave review. We are glad that you got to experience the beauty of Antarctica with us.Trip date: February 2024 - JoAnn· March 13th, 2023The communication from booking all the way to departure was excellent. Questions were answered in a timely manner. The Quest for the Antarctic Circle trip was life changing and sooo worth it. Granted the "Drake Shake" ain't no joke. The expedition staff with G Adventures were amazing. Thank you Tour Radar for this once in a life time experience.Show moreG Adventures commented on this reviewHi JoAnn, Thank you so much! It's great to hear how much you enjoyed your time in Antarctica :)Trip date: February 2023
- KYKeni· February 23rd, 2023Price is so high for me. I have friends get the price &3000 cheaper than what I have paid. It is unfair for meShow moreG Adventures commented on this reviewHi Keni, Thank you for your feedback regarding pricing for Quest for the Antarctic Circle. I have noted your feedback and passed it to our operations and product teams to review moving forward.Trip date: February 2023
- AAnonymous· January 24th, 2023We are quite disappointed with G Adventures and Carlos in particular. He gave us a quote and a holding date. When we went to pay before the holding date, the link was broken. When we questioned them about it, they reported they had withdrew the offer and said the price had gone up almost $1000US extra per person. Very dishonest and not impressed with the service at all. If a hold was given, it should be honoured.Show moreG Adventures commented on this reviewHi there, Thank you for taking the time to send through your feedback; we sincerely appreciate it.Trip date: January 2023

So glad to hear that you enjoyed your time with us in Antarctica!Trip date: December 2022
- JZJung· January 15th, 2023Very caring, passionate, and knowledgeable crew members. The only change is to decrease the use of decorative table cloth for every meal and to reduce water usage for washing them. In addition, the dinners may be too fancy.Show moreG Adventures commented on this reviewThank you for your review, Zhengyuan!

Asked on January 23rd, 20241. Was wondering if drinks are included and how often a day and in total (estimated) I would be on a zodiac? 2. Also: are warm clothes included? I saw that a parka and waterproof boots are included. What about warm trouser or sth like this? I'm backpacking trough central and South America and the tour is very spontaneous… and I don't have the perfect outfit for it
- G AdventuresOperator•Written January 2024
Drinks are not included, but these can be purchased on board.
We'll be using a Zodiac Landing quite a few times during this trip. We provide complimentary used waterproof boots for these.
We also offer an Expedition Parka, but we do not provide trousers or other clothing. It is up to our travellers to bring their own clothing.
