Travel to Antarctica

Experience an adventure tour of Antarctica and explore the unique conditions at the end of the Earth. Embark from Ushuaia, travelling through the Drake Passage to the South Shetland Islands to see the incredible landscapes created by the Antarctic climate. See multiple species of playful penguins, the imposing and graceful frames of Antarctic whales and a frenzy of feeding birdlife. Benefit from the navigational expertise and local knowledge of a professional crew and make the most of this once-in-a-lifetime experience to Antarctica to see the exotic, alien nature of this frozen world for myself.

Why I love this trip

Whether we will on land or at sea, we'll see an abundance of wildlife on this trip. Scan the seas for whales and seals, spot rare birds while passing through the Beagle Channel and witness diverse species of penguins on daily boat trips.
The spectacular terrain of Antarctica is like nowhere else on Earth. Set foot on the plains, mountains and beaches of the White Continent and watch icebergs calve into the sea.
Experience a polar plunge in Antarctic waters - one of the most invigorating dips anyone ever likely to take.
Optional activities such as sea kayaking or polar ice camping on selected voyages can take our adventure to the next level.

Best things to do in Antactica

Kayaking :We floated quietly past leopard seals sunning themselves on ice flows, we circumnavigated icebergs floating in the middle of the sea, and we paddled with penguins jumping through the air at the front of our boats.
Polar Plunge: It's the extreme spectrum of adventure travel and not many people will be able to top you once you've told them you survived the polar plunge.

Camping: Yes, it's cold, it's uncomfortable, and you can't eat, drink, or pea on Antarctica, but once you are back on board your ship after surviving a night as the early explorers did, you'll be filled with pride and gratitude that you never have to do that again.
