Creator's Key Takeaways

I went on a kayaking outing in foreign Harbor at Enterprise Island it was a perfect day and we paddled around the ice out to a 100 year old shipwreck and saw some humpback whales in the harbor

the albatross Expedition team takes us ashore in Zodiacs at each of our Landing sites the team goes ashore before we arrive and then Stakes out the areas that are safe to walk

the ship features two restaurants the main beagle restaurant that serves buffets for breakfast and lunch and then plated uh dinners with menus

Albatross does provide parkas for you to use during your trip they are also yours to keep if you want

✓Bring a water bottle with filling stations available on the ship.
✓Use a carabiner to keep items secure and off the ground for biosecurity.
✓Consider bringing binoculars as they are not provided in cabins.
