Guiding ECO adventure tours by kayak in Antarctica | Louise Adie - 011
Louise Adie is a veteran kayaker and guide who spends months out of the year on eco-tourism ships with the destination of Antarctica. She vividly explains the humbling experience of physically being on Antarctica’s shoreline and interacting with sealife during a kayak adventure from her ship. Her love of Antarctica and preserving its state is evident in her interview in this podcast episode.
In this interview, we discuss:
- Experiencing an eco-tour in Antarctica and what to expect
- Trip experiences with humpback whales, leopard seals and penguins
- The biggest challenges participants and guides face on eco tours
- The biggest takeaway for tourists on eco tours
- Other excursions and adventures available to tourists on eco tour ships
