samantha temple neukom: I am a mother of a 14yo. Since the time of my divorce, my daughter and I have traveled to 30+ countries on 6 continents. I am the owner of a professional services business, 10+ years with 27+ employees, and sit on the board of two non-profits.Our next adventure was to the Arctic. A friend put me in touch with Entree Destinations. The objective of my trip was the see narwhal (my daughter wanted to see polar bear). After receiving the recommended itinerary, I emailed "I think I'm missing something - this seems too late for narwhals? My understanding is those are in the floe ice and need to be seen in June." They responded, "Not at all - narwhal migrate through the Northwest Passage past Arctic Watch in August… The narwhal… will be around Somerset Island (where Arctic Watch is located) in July and August." They went on to say, "We suggest to add a helicopter day (optional) because it’s a great way to see the narwhals." Upon arriving at Arctic Watch, two separate guides laughed about seeing narwhal, saying "that's highly unlikely." My experience is that Entrée Destinations had no intention or effort put toward delivering on the itinerary they had set forth.The trip was CAD$45,000, including tips fully paid 6 months in advance by wire.While in the Arctic, I experienced being targeted by the owners of the outfit. I don't know why, but it was obvious enough for 2 guests to comment on it, and for at least 1 guide to share they were told not to interact with me. Several times when the outfit had made decisions for me, instead of asking me as they did with other parties led by male guests, I would be told by the outfit and later by Marc Telio, owner of Entrée Destinations, how I “should have” felt about the decisions being made for me.Things culminated with an issue over the timing of the helicopter, which we had paid for back in January, but which didn't happen (but did for the other guests) due to severity in weather. This was at the tail end of day 6 of our 7 days there. I had a brief conversation with one of the owners, during which I was talked down to and disregarded. That triggered something in me. I skipped dinner, contacted my doctor, and sent a note to Entree Destinations and to the outfit. The note concluded, "The lack of respect, genuine openness to seeing me, and honoring me as worthy of direct communication and conversation - versus assumptions or directives - is heartbreaking for me. There isn’t another word for how I am feeling right now.”Upon receiving the note, no one did... anything. Marc sent a note on our last day on the trip saying he wanted to know how to “make things right.” 3 weeks later he continues to email me, and saying things like "the facts are, I said I was willing to step in and help make things right," and yet he has taken zero action to make anything right. I shared what I thought would make it right, which is refunding 30% of the trip, and he balked and said he agreed to only 22% refund, but has not followed through. So, I have since asked him what his ideas are to make it right? “I am all ears,” I replied. I have heard nothing.He has emailed 12+ times in 3 weeks to tell me perhaps I should not have been in the Arctic, or perhaps my experience isn’t real, or perhaps I should feel sorry for him. I have found the correspondence lacking leadership, empathy, or insight. At times he has sunk to name calling. His emails display both emotional and economic fragility. I trusted him with a week of my time and my money, and my adventures with my daughter. He presents himself as the victim. This is not the stance of a leading luxury agency.Entree Destinations failed to act in advocacy of their guest, while I went through what was a damaging experience, with ongoing impact. At this time, after acknowledging a need to repair the situation, they have refused to take any action at all.I cannot in good faith recommend Entree Destinations.Their response to this review says it all...
