“We had an incredible time on our Weddell Sea Voyage. Our hopes of seeing the emperor penguins were realised along with as so much other wildlife. The giant, tabular icebergs were breathtaking, it was a unique experience”.

"The Expedition Leaders were excellent. In fact, they were far better than that! My fellow travellers were like-minded individuals that I found wonderful company. I had a most fantastic trip. It is a cliche but it was the trip of a lifetime. Your help and advice was wonderful. I would definitely come to you again should you offer something that I want to do."
Dean Nixon - Antarctic Peninsula
"I just wanted to write and tell you what a fantastic and amazing trip that we had, a big thank you for all your coordination. After flying the expanse of Argentina I understand what a feat that probably was at times. Iguazu was really amazing and beautiful and energy zapping hot!
Buenos Aires was great also hot. The hotel was lovely. El Calafate, the Moreno Glacier and the Torres Del Paine were brilliant, lovely indeed.
But of course the best was the Antarctic cruise. Breathe taking. We saw several humpback whales with two coming right next to the ship. Neko harbour was incredible, seeing a group of Orcas then seconds later there being a loud avalanche over the harbour, and then at same time an iceberg in the harbour exploding and crashing. Terry and I laughed because we just didn't know where to look with so many things happening at once, not to mention the penguins and breathtaking scenery and face warming sunshine. In the Lemaire channel we watched a leopard seal and we saw many seals, some minke whales, lots of birds including nesting blue eyed shags, and of course the penguins that were nesting and feeding their young.
We just wanted again to say thank you and would highly recommend you and your company for arranging such fantastic trips."

"Just what can I say, putting pen to paper is easy, writing what I feel needs a new vocabulary.
In all my years of travel this is the best spent money ever. Charlotte- I cannot thank you enough for the pleasure you have given me, your personality oozes happiness and this radiates through to the people around you, making a trip with you something very special. It must also be said that Aqua-Firma has excellent organisational skills. Aqua-Firma has enabled me to fulfil a life time ambition. Visiting Argentina and staying in Buenos Aires with such a charismatic air. Then onto Iguazu falls so unbelievably beautiful in the rainforest. Lastly Antarctica just mind-blowing! The mountain peaks appear to reach heaven and invite your camera to picture them. Aqua-Firma you have given me a memory that is priceless and it has been my pleasure booking with you and I would not hesitate to do it again!"
Judy Parnell - Antarctic Peninsula
"We had a terrific time. I would like to give special praise to Monika who stood out of all our guides. She did an excellent job and briefings were both interesting and humorous.
We were very happy with our accommodation and the ship. The Russian crew worked extremely hard and were most pleasant, cheerful and helpful; not always under easy conditions. The lectures on board were very good and we most certainly had a lot of expertise available to us. The log provided at the end of our cruise, detailing each day’s events and sightings, was excellent and very much appreciated.
Boat handling and support for getting on and off the zodiacs was very good. Excellent zodiac rides amongst the icebergs with enjoyable landings, whale sightings etc."
