Something Else?
I watched the video on what to pack and to expect. The packing suggestions were far too extensive for what was actually required. Water bottles "with large mouths to fill with mountain stream water" not necessary since they were given out on the ship. Walking poles many people suggested not necessary.
Do you have any tips or advice for other people planning a trip to Patagonia?
Don't overpack. This cruise is very chill and there is no need to "dress up" for wandering the ship or meals. What you wear for the day to sightsee less a couple of layers is all that is needed.
How prepared and excited for Patagonia did you feel?
Was anxious about the gear and equipment suggested during your videos. Did not buy hiking boots etc but upon arrival realized that a lot of the recommendations weren't necessarily required. I wore Blundstones and my feet were fine. We did however have exceptional weather. Perhaps other seasons or other weather would have made me think differently.
Would you consider another trip to Patagonia with Swoop?
No
Would you be interested in travelling to Antarctica with Swoop?
No
Would you be interested in travelling to the Arctic with Swoop?
No
Do you have any recommendations for Swoop, or feedback about the team?
EVerything was great and the staff was so welcoming, experienced and so knowledgeable. I have indicated in your next questions that I would not do another Patagonia trip, Arctic trip or Antarctic trip with Swoop. Not because of Swoop but because they are not on my bucket list.
