On-shore excursions allow you to visit scientific research stations, communities, prominent wildlife colonies and take hikes to elevated viewing points for fantastic photography.

Camping More info about this activity
Camp ashore in Antarctica!
After dinner, you’ll leave your cruise ship and zip ashore via a Zodiac. An experienced guide will choose the campsite spot and instruct everybody in how to set up their tents and sleeping bags. The next morning everybody will help to break down the camp, making sure that no gear or garbage gets left behind, and clean the camping gear. The location for camps and the number of camp nights offered depends on the operator, weather and location of the ship.
Kayaking More info about this activity

Sea kayaking is one of the highlights for any Polar Traveller, providing ice and weather conditions are assessed as safe by your Expedition Team.

Join expedition sailing vessel Ocean Tramp and her crew on an unforgettable cruise to Antarctica, exploring the Antarctic Peninsula, home to penguins, whales, icebergs, and rich Exploration History. Enjoy the flexibility and seclusion of a small vessel, perfect for intimate expeditions to Antarctica, where you can fully embrace the polar wonders as they unfold. With a maximum of 8 passengers, this experience offers a unique and personal way to discover Antarctica’s pristine beauty.
Pre trip: Please arrive at the departure port/city AT LEAST 36 hours prior to your trip start – WHY, if there is any delay by an airline, or your luggage is lost, you will have a chance to make the trip. Also traveling south is usually a long journey, so it’s nice to have a day + to recuperate before starting on the journey on a lifetime.
The night before the flight to Antarctica there will be a mandatory Safety Briefing where we will explain how the next day will play out. We will also hand you the boots for you to test your size and exchange if necessary. We will also provide vacuums for you to clean your backpacks and pockets, for biosecurity reasons.
Day 1: Start your Antarctic Adventure
Our team will pick you up from your hotel, timing to be confirmed the day before, and transfer you to the local airport, where you will board our charter flight to King George Island in the South Shetlands, where our yacht will be waiting for you to start a journey of a lifetime. Please note that the flight to Antarctica is 100% weather and logistics dependent and there is not a fixed time for departure.
Day 2-13: Explore Antarctica on an Expedition sailing yacht
Each day will be different and can include zodiac tours, landings at penguin colonies, exploring historic scientific bases and whaling sites, kayaking. The flexibility allows you to take full advantage of whatever Antarctica gives to us – be it an incredible southern sunset or a breaching whale. We can stop and enjoy – not just once, but every time. While South there will be an Active scientist onboard, so all guests are invited to participate in real Antarctic research. In the evenings the scientist will present on their research, as well as pressing current Antarctic issues. The scientist will be a part of the team and ready to answer questions at dinner, or on deck!
Day 14: Return to King George Island and enjoy a celebration dinner
Return to King George Island and board your flight to Punta Arenas. Look out your window and get a last glimpse at the white continent. Once back in Punta Arenas, enjoy a celebration dinner with your fellow passengers.
