Adventure Life planned a trip of a lifetime for us to Antarctica. We went on the Magellan Explorer through the company Antarctica21. This trip met or exceeded our expectations in every way. Erin and Michelle was the team we worked with at Adventure Life. They couldn’t have done a better job tailoring this experience to our exact needs. These women get too enthusiastic two thumbs up! Thank you Adventure Life!

The info on the website was laid out very well. I did some comparisons with other tours and found Adventure Life met a lot of what I wanted in an Antarctica trip at the cheapest price. Requested a quote on Claudia contacted me right away. She answered a lot of questions the I had via email even though she offered to discuss via phone call. I’m more of an email person so appreciated how she accommodated that and answered all my questions. And when I was ready to book, she quickly got the ball rolling with getting our spots reserved on the trip my friend and I wanted. Thanks again, Claudia!
