    We had a great time with Evelyn leading us in the Patagonia region last October. With two small…read morechildren in tow, she crafted an amazing adventure for us that was both safe and fun! Highly recommend working with Crux Expedition if you are planning a trip to Chile as a family.

    I went to Patagonia in December, 2015. It was an AMAZING trip. Evelyn is extremely knowledgeable…read moreand obviously extremely passionate about her home. I was excited to have her along to share that enthusiasm with us. Overall the trip was sensational and she customized it to much of what we wanted. However, there are a few things I think prospective clients should be aware of: There were two hikes where she actually DISCOURAGED us to complete. The weather was not necessarily cooperating (it was December in Patagonia after all) but we were well dressed and well prepared for that. We continued on anyway despite her not wanting us to and we were very glad we did!! The other issue I would advise clients of is this: we understood alcoholic beverages were not included in the price (that is typical and fine with us) BUT we were not prepared to pay for all beverages - including water!! Getting the check at some restaurants was a little tedious due to this and the worst part is we just simply did not know about it ahead of time..if we had known it would have been fine. Along this same theme, even though our meals were included, if we ordered an appetizer, it was not included.... very confusing for us. Bottom line: Know EXACTLY what she is planning to pay for before you go. I felt like she was "pinching pennies" the whole time even though our trip was about $6000 each. If I go again with a guide, it would not be Evelyn. BUT it was a fabulous trip.

    The pluses: Amazing food. Amazing food. And amazing food. Also, some talented naturalists and…read moreoutdoor guides. BUT, a few big drawbacks: The boat, the Safari Endeavor, was very old and not as advertised. The sales literature said it was renovated 11 years ago. Patently untrue. The boat was built in 1984 and looks and vibrates like it was built 40 years ago, too. I also felt I was patronized constantly as an older person. I'm 65, in terrific shape, hike regularly and bike 20 miles daily. I was told ridiculous things like, "Let's give the seal lions room," as if they don't know how to swim, or "let's step back from the edge" of a viewing platform as if I were a toddler. Just not my vibe. Also, excursions that were advertised as two hours were cut short to 80 minutes at least three times. Our trip also had many people whose tickets were comped, including the large family of the cruise director, which lent an odd air of missed privilege to the adventure. It didn't help that Alaska is melting; for the money, I would recommend Patagonia 100 times to Alaska. It's much more beautiful with exquisite blue glaciers that are still visible. Or for old spruce trees, visit the Boundary Waters of Northern Minnesota. If you do go to Alaska, I'd find another small ship operator with vessels that are worth the dollar charged. The Endeavor needs to be retired.

    Although the crew was great, we were well cared for and we did have a good time, I feel like we…read morewere ripped off by the sales team when they moved us to a different tour on a different boat last minute. We ended up staying in a different cabin class because what we booked wasn't acceptable to us on the new boat. The difference between what we paid for and where we ended up was about $4000. They gave us $1000 for the itinerary change. When I complained afterward, we were offered "an additional savings" (unspecified amount) on our next booking. I've called, written emails, even written directly to the company owner via snail mail and tried to contact him via someone who knows him. It's been three months. Still nothing. The full story...we originally booked the Glacier Bay National Park cruise on the Wilderness Discoverer round-trip out of Juneau, but a large group cancelled and Uncruise subsequently cancelled our trip 4 days before departure. They gave us the option to join a cruise on the Wilderness Explorer out of Ketchikan for which they'd alter the itinerary so it would also visit Glacier Bay and return to Juneau with our same dates, or we could rebook for a different time or cancel completely. They pressured us to make a quick decision and we'd been planning a vacation for months that included follow-on activities. Changing all the dates on that last minute would have been a mess, so we went along with the changed itinerary. We had booked the Admiral cabin (highest cabin class) on the Wilderness Discoverer with a stand-alone queen bed and sitting area. When we arrived on the Wilderness Explorer, the Admiral cabin turned out to have a murphy bed against a wall on one side (so one of us would have to crawl over the other to get out) and since it converted into a sofa, there was no space to store a bag! The room was super small. We ended up switching to a Trailblazer class cabin (two cabin classes lower than what we'd booked) with two twin beds and promises to "make it right" afterward. Apparently "making it right" means offering a discount on a future booking. I don't think so.
