10/10 - The whole trip was really well organised - team are brilliant. Most memorable moment? Standing on an ice flow with 1500 metres depth below us at 82 degrees north. Read the full review

The help from the Swoop team to choose the Hondius trip was great as it was a completely unknown endeavour - they gave expert advice and helped steer us to the best option for us, and they succeeded. Read the full review

I was impressed with the level of knowledge and experience of the expedition team, several of whom were active scientific researchers. My favourite lecture was about Glaciers, by Andreas Alexander, which provided some illuminating graphs and visuals about climate change that everyone should really be aware of. Read the full review

On our first full day on the tundra we got very close to a mother and her two cubs, and on the second day we got very close to a big male bear. It was a wonderful trip and I would definitely recommend it to everyone. Thanks again for all your help!

We were really lucky with sightings; saw polar bears on four occasions, blue whales twice, lots of fin whales and about 70 beluga whales in an hour on one day, as well as a couple of lovely white arctic foxes and a few walruses.
