Enrichment Program More info about this activity
Expedition cruising must be one of the most incredible ways of travelling. Not only for the amazing places you visit and the unforgetable wildlife but for the wildlife, the sensory overload and the unimaginable memories.
But all of this needs a context in order to understand where you are and what you are experiencing.
On board your expedition vessell you will find a group of experts, naturalists, zodiac drivers and guides that that will translate the language of nature for you, telling you the stories of the places you are visiting, reviewing the historical, biological, ecological and geological aspects of your trips.
You will experience first hand what surrounds you and arrive back home wiser and loaded with new knowledge.
Citizen Science More info about this activity
There’s important work being done every day, at some of the most renowned climate research facilities around the world, to record and study the incredible changes happening in remote places like Antarctica and th Arctic. As you might imagine, gathering critical on-site data on a regular basis would be a virtually impossible task for these groups. So we do it for them, in partnership with different research facilities.
If you’d like to get a first-hand look at how climate change is impacting our birds, sea life, glaciers, oceans, and weather patterns, and help scientists better understand our evolving planet, you’re welcome to join our Citizen Science program. And don’t let the word “science” scare you. We make it informative, interactive, and fun.
Trekking More info about this activity
Trekking is with no doubt the first and most simple of the outdoor sports.
To wander arund nature in walks of different difficulty with basic equipment and few to worry about is one of the most fullfilling activities one can do.
Mountaineering More info about this activity
Most of the alpine peaks we climb are non-technical and can usually be attempted by people with limited experience, although some degree of knowledge is usually needed.
Climbing sessions can go from 4 to 10 hours long, and all of the needed gear will be provided by the operator. (ropes, crampons, ice axes, etc. Personal gear is not included)
Hiking More info about this activity
Hiking options include very easy beach hikes (good for photographers who need time for photography), easier short hikes, medium-difficulty extended hikes, and more challenging long hikes.
Mountain Bike More info about this activity
For fitness enthusiasts and independent explorers, we carry a fleet of Kona mountain bikes. These multi-geared, all-purpose bikes are available during select excursions.
White Desert operates for just 11 weeks a year — Antarctic summer — when the conditions are most hospitable.
In a feat of engineering, your journey to the 7th continent is aboard a ‘‘heavy’’ — an Airbus A340 plane commissioned by White Desert. This plane allows us to transport guests, much-needed supplies and cargo.
During the flight, you’ll soar above thousands of icebergs and over the ice shelf, landing in 24 hours of continuous sun, where time is just a concept.
We travel in uncompromised comfort across the mighty Southern Ocean on an Airbus A340 (or similar). During the 5-hour flight to Wolf’s Fang Runway, Antarctica, the African night turns to day as we soar over thousands of icebergs and pass into 24 hours of continuous sunshine.
On arrival you will spend 3 hours on ice, taking a gentle hike from Wolf’s Fang camp to a nearby nunatak where you will experience an unforgettable champagne picnic and views unlike anywhere on Earth before boarding your return flight to Cape Town.
