After we arrived on Saunders Island and got settled in, our host Susan drove five of us to The Rookery. This was our first time seeing the black-browed albatross. They were such neat birds, and made really beautiful sounds too. Many were sitting on eggs or brand-new hatchlings that we would occasionally get a glimpse of, if we were patient.
A little bit more of a hike and we made it to the ultimate Rockhopper Penguin destination. There must have been thousands of individuals nesting and making the journey back and forth to the water for food. What a wonderful sight. No still photo could really do it justice and I was glad to have brought my video camera. I was content to climb a small hill and look down on the melee below. Lots of penguins, always on the go, always hopping.
When Susan, our host, came to retrieve us at the appointed time that afternoon it felt as if the afternoon had flown by.
Adventure Life has been an extraordinary travel resource for us over the years and today was no exception. Our River Cruise booking was handled by Jess (who has been our personal trip planner for several years) the same day as our inquiry. Suggestions were given for cabin choice and pre-trip options (that were not shown on the cruise line's website) like airport transfers and prepaid gratuities. Trip insurance recommendations followed and we were assigned a travel co-ordinator till the end of the tour. All we have to do is show up! Great service from friendly folks.

Our travel was flawless! The rider pickup (airport, hotel, ship) was seamless. Jane's recommendation for Emerald Cruise Sakara was everything I wanted but the experience was soooo much more. Adventure Life took care of each and every detail and this was the easiest of all my travels.
