What are One Ocean Expeditions’s most popular activities?

The no. 1 activity for One Ocean Expeditions' passengers is Zodiac excursions, followed closely by hiking, photography and even camping. Many passengers opt to participate in the line's optional (and extra-cost) sea kayaking or stand-up paddle-board programs, as well.

When the ship is sailing, you'll find most passengers on the ship's large upper decks, which offer 360-degree visibility and are ideal for wildlife spotting. At other times, cruisers prefer to stay indoors for the expedition staff's informative enrichment lectures. On chilly days, passengers also enjoy soaking in the hot tub (only on select ships) or participating in daily yoga and fitness sessions.
