Carly was just THE BEST leader - finding and being able to locate and/or call in the birds so we could see them, meeting each participants’ expectations, making sure all levels of birders had a GOOD experience, treating all participants with respect, and scouting beforehand to find the best birding spots and great restaurants. The accommodations were far better than expected and the meals terrific! Had a truly great outing!

Enjoyed every aspect of this trip. Hotel, restaurants and birding locations were all excellent. Wonderful fellow travelers. The star was our guide Carly. She is knowledgeable, excellent at finding and sharing birds, anticipatory about needs, organized, clear about what is up next and a great driver too.

This was a father/son trip, and Reef to Rockies really helped plan a special trip. They incorporated important items into the trip that I wanted to see and share with my son. All of the lodges we stayed at were first class and it was a high-tailored, experience for us. I would highly recommend working with Reef to Rockies in the future.

The Svalbard Expedition was fabulous from start to finish! The small ship (the Freya) experience with only 12 guests was great and the accommodations and food were superb (not to mention the sauna and hot tub which were very much appreciated after the Polar Plunge!) - this was NOT roughing it by any measure. Having only 12 guests made the zodiac excursions relatively simple and easy to do. The guides with SecretAtlas (Piet and Miriam) and Reefs to Rockies (Cheryl Opperman) were terrific, providing very helpful information regarding the arctic environment and wildlife, and photography advice and assistance. I had an incredible once-in-a-lifetime experience and have hundreds of photos (sublime landscapes, Polar Bears, walruses, seals, Arctic Foxes, reindeer, and too many different kinds of birds to count!) to prove it! Highly recommend this trip!
Svalbard in Spring: Arctic Wildlife and Ice Frontiers
Thank you so much for this fantastic review, John! We’re delighted to hear that your Svalbard expedition was fabulous from start to finish. It’s wonderful to know that the ship, accommodations, food, and even the sauna and hot tub after the Polar Plunge exceeded expectations. We’re also thrilled that the guiding team helped bring the Arctic environment to life while supporting your photography throughout the trip. From polar bears and walruses to Arctic foxes, reindeer, and spectacular birdlife, it sounds like you experienced the very best of Svalbard. We’re honored to have been part of such a memorable adventure and are especially glad you have hundreds of photographs to relive it all. Thank you for traveling with Reefs to Rockies and for your enthusiastic recommendation!
