The guides on the boat were excellent and very informative

This trip is all about seeing the wildlife - the guides on the boat were excellent and very informative, and showed just as much enthusiasm for the local wildlife as the guests did, which made the experience really exciting

The travel to and from the starting point of the trip was cumbersome, and not altogether clear, though I suspect the l;imited number of flights into Longyearbyen mean the options to improve this aspect are very limited...there was a lot of "hanging around" on the travel days though if anythign can be done about that!.

The boat was clearly not "designed" as a tourist boat, but this in no way detracted from the quality of the cabins or communal space. Overall, very good.

"Woody" was simply excellent - great enthusiasm coupled with great competence!
