Antarctica Trips & Tours

An incomparable frontier of silence, solitude and elemental forces that will challenge you to embrace life.

If ever there was name to inspire awe amongst bucket-list travellers, it would be Antarctica. Seemingly the preserve of nature documentaries and historical literature, the surreal 7th continent of the world is an enormous land mass of smooth, flat ice at the end of the Earth – or the very bottom of the globe if we’re being geographically correct. A place of engulfing whiteness, it’s the world’s largest ‘desert’ and (somewhat unfathomably) home to a myriad of extraordinary species and sights so magnificent they are almost unnameable. Protected by the Antarctic Treaty, the ocean teams with humpback whales and hourglass dolphins leaping in the wake of vessels, whilst on the ice, penguins teeter and seals loll in complete symbiosis with the white wilderness. Then, there’s the sparkling ice castles surrounded by miles upon miles of pancake-flat ice; the monolithic icebergs rising from the mists; and the meandering fjords, flanked by ice walls and hulking cliffs. Nothing will prepare you, yet everything will leave a profound impact on your life.

The way Antarctica makes you feel is, quite simply, indescribable. Perhaps it’s being the smallest speck in the most enormous of spaces, or maybe it’s realising that where you are is pretty much free of any human touch. Whatever it is, enjoy the best feeling in the world.

Off the beaten track

Off the beaten track

Preparing for a trip is always tricky, but when it’s Antarctica it can become overwhelming. Pack sensibly, but don’t be intimidated by fancy polar gear and equipment. Thermals, more sunscreen than you know what to do with, and seasickness tablets are essential.

There is no individual government in Antarctica to set out the rules of travel. The IAATO (International Association of Antarctica Tour Operators) has been established to promote responsible tourism, and it definitely pays to be aware of what you can do to help preserve the region too.
