Our Activities and Team

ACTIVITIES & TEAM

Enjoy an exciting mix of included zodiac (rib boats) safaris, on shore landings in Antarctica, polar plunge, onboard lectures, and socializing to immerse you in Antarctica. You may even opt to do sea kayaking or Antarctic camping to enhance your experience.

EXPERIENCES ON THE SHORE AND SEA

Your Antarctica expedition comes with included experiences at no additional cost, and optional experiences.

Always Included

Zodiac Safaris

Our expedition team navigates custom-built Zodiac boats along icy waters just inches from floating icebergs, glacier-covered shores, and even breaching whales. Watch for porpoising penguins in Antarctic seas and polar bears on the prowl in the Arctic.

Always Included

Shore Landings

Our Zodiacs will take you ashore up to twice daily under suitable conditions. Amid the spectacular polar landscapes, our expedition team leads glacial hikes and guides you in safe observation of the local wildlife.

Optional

Sea Kayaking

On an optional kayaking excursion in Antarctica, the scale of the polar seascape seems even grander as you paddle past electric blue icebergs and soaring glacial cliffs while seabirds dive for food and marine mammals surface for air.

Optional

Antarctic Camping

If conditions are suitable, Polar Expeditions in Antarctica may offer the chance to camp overnight on the White Continent, a surreal experience of endless light and palpable silence.

EXPERIENCES ON BOARD

Not only will you explore Antarctica by land and sea, you’ll learn about the places you’re going and wildlife you’re seeing up close. There will never be a dull moment on your Antarctica expedition.

Always Included

Water's Edge

Just 30 feet above the sea’s surface, the open deck of Water’s Edge is the perfect place to watch for whales, dolphins and other marine life while enjoying the comfort of heated seating.

Always Included

Polar Plunge

Accept the challenge to plunge from the yacht into the icy waters of the Arctic or Antarctica as your fellow explorers cheer you on, a thrilling and invigorating experience unlike any other.

Always Included

Daily Briefings

Each day the expedition leaders and team share valuable information on everything from the weather patterns influencing your route to the wildlife you can expect to see on your next shore landing.

Always Included

Socializing

After your day of exploring, our inviting social spaces encourage you to come as you are, relax and reflect on your amazing adventures with fellow explorers over cocktails and canapés, a tradition we refer to as Après Expedition.

EXPERIENCES ON THE SHORE AND SEA

EXPERTS ENRICHING EXPLORATION

Your Antarctica expedition is led by a team of experts, including a combination of naturalists, wilderness guides, biologists, conservationists, historians, mountaineers, photographers, and more. They’ve been to Antarctica countless times, studied its fragile ecosystems, and are here to lead you through pristine environments with intimate, genuine experiences.

Zodiac Operators

Having explored Antarctica, Patagonia, the Arctic and beyond, Zodiac operators lead the way during sea safaris and shore landings, providing close encounters with epic scenery and local wildlife.

Kayak Guides

With years of experience kayaking and other marine pursuits, these guides lead excursions among ice flows while pointing out wildlife such as seals, whales, and penguin colonies you might see along the way.

Mountaineers

Biologists

Experts – including marine biologists and zoologists – share fascinating insights on wildlife you’ll encounter up close… From whales, to penguins, to seals, and birds that call Antarctica home.

Orthinologists

It’s true that Antarctica, South Georgia, and the Falkland Islands are renowned for many species of penguins – ornithologists enlighten you on polar seabirds including the petrels, albatross, gyrfalcons, and puffins of the Antarctic region. Learn how and why the albatross, with its 10-foot wingspan, travels thousands of miles every year.

Photographers

Sure – you’ll take your own treasure trove of photos during your Antarctica expedition. But why stress about making them perfect? Expert photographers are there to help you capture the perfect moment. They’re also there to ensure you have an unforgettable footage and image gallery for every moment they’ve captured for you.

Antarctica, like so much of the world, is at risk. You’ll hear passionate lectures from professors, researchers, and ecologists about how to protect ecosystems. As responsible stewards of the environment, we can together ensure Antarctica is here to enjoy for future generations.

Climatologists

Learn how Antarctica affects the rest of the world, including its meteorological importance. Climatologists can help you understand the infamous Drake Passage, where the Atlantic, Pacific, and Southern Oceans converge to start and end your Antarctica adventure.
