Chimu Adventures Reviews 

The cruise was a fantastic offering. Always pays to work with Arctic experts when planning a trip like this. I’m eager to check out an Antarctic trip next. Chimu should be everyone’s first choice for expedition travel!

Me and my friend book Antarctica cruise through them. We paid the most out of everyone on the cruise and our room was leaking water. Please don't go through them.

Edit - contrary to what the company replied below. I informed Chimu Adventures after coming back about what had happened. Crickets! They were supposed to get back to me 4 months ago. Save your hard earned money, don’t go through them.

You cannot gain anything by working with them, you can only lose. Let me explain - they are not a tour operator. They act like a broker between the tour operators and you. Some of the brokers have exclusive cabin inventory and exclusive pricing but they have neither. Moreover they try to talk a lot to give you an impression that they are helping you, but that is just their way to make you feel that they are adding value in this internet age where everything is available freely. You should search Google for the top tour operators and then go to their individual websites to find the best up to date information. These guys do the same and then try to add a little bit mark up.

It's taken a while to get around to writing this review. Last march 2024 I had the most amazing Antarctic expedition with Chimu. Everything was so professional, from the staff to the ship, food and equipment.
Thank you Chimu for a trip of a lifetime.

Karen from Chimu organised our itinerary and everything went without a problem.
The guides were friendly and knowledgeable and pick ups were always on time and the activities planned were exceptional.
We went from Buenos Aries, Rio, Lima,Machu Pichu Cusco and Lake Titicaca finishing in Santiago.
All the accommodation was exceptional

This was an outstanding adventure.Gavin Breeze was very helpful in making it happen. My daughter and I stayed in Ushuaia 2 nights arranged by Gavin. Crossing the Drake Strait was challenging both ways but worth it considering the amazing sights we saw in Antarctica including icebergs, glaciers, penguins, whales, seals, and birds.Ocean Albatros, crew, talks and food were great. I especially enjoyed walking on the continent.

I used Chimu Adventures to book my Antarctica Expedition on Aurora Expeditions. The whole endeavor was smooth from start to finish. I felt personally recognized and valued, and my questions were answered promptly. There were no surprises (welcomed or not) and I felt well prepared for my trip. And it was the trip of a lifetime.

We had a wonderful experience with Chimu Adventures, having booked an Intrepid cruise to Antarctica. The arrangements made through Chimu were very easy. They responded very quickly to all my questions. And the trip itself was perfect. It was the trip of a lifetime. The scenery was spectacular, the excursions were incredible, the penguins were lovable, the staff on the ship was great, and everything went off without a hitch. I have nothing negative to say about any part of the adventure. We wished the trip had lasted longer!

This is one of the most efficient tour agencies on the planet. Perfectly coordinated, excellent guides and accommodations, a well thought out experience by the knowledgeable staff. If you're thinking about it, book it!!!

From my first inquiry Doug from Chimu was so easy to deal with.. From that moment forward for to first time traveler's it was an an amazing experience!!

Everything organised by Karen at Chimu
Went as planned which we were very grateful for. The only drama was the tight scheduling of some of our flights and having to run to get to next gate on time. Latam airline did very well and all our luggage arrived on time . The cruise on OceanEndeavour was truly amazing; the ice, the wildlife and the professional enthusiastic crew made our experience very memorable. Thanks Chimu

Doug White has been great in getting everything organised once take off everything should be straight forward and organised

Perfect, very helpful and informative

Stephen Easton made the booking process and follow up queries effortless. He was always available and professional. Our Antarctica expedition was marvellous. Thank you Chimu and Stephen in particular. Other travellers whom we met and had also used Chimu were also extremely happy with the service. We highly recommend Chimu Travels.

Very easy to work with. I booked at the last minute and everything was done very quickly and efficiently. Karen the travel agent was very obliging and got all the arrangements made in a tight timeframe.

After having a terrible experience with a travel agent recently (who let us down with his organisation of our South American trip) and who has been organising our family trips for over 20 years, I called Chimu Adventures and spoke to Karen Scholes - she was fantastic. Within 1 hour we had our South American trip organised. Karen was reliant, gave great advice and suggestions. She always returned calls and replied to our emails very quickly.
I highly recommend Chimu if you are booking a trip to South America and can't thank Karen enough for everything she did for us. THANK YOU

I thought the booking process will take time and effort. But it went smoothly. Will give full credit to Jason Dudson. Was able to find the right choice. Everything went smooth. Nice experience.

Fantastic trip that was put together beautifully by Nic. Everything went like clockwork and made the trip a breeze. All the inclusions were wonderful, and we loved our second trip with Chimu to Brazil and Argentina. Sensational

Gavin & Team, were most responsive to our questions - helpful & professional. Russ & Jem.

Gavin was great. He was responsive, answered all of my questions and was able to help me with an additional night for the hotel booking. Chimu has been great to work with for our upcoming trip to Antarctica.
