Antarctica
Come join us on the world’s most extraordinary day trip. Leaving Cape Town via private aircraft, we soar over thousands of icebergs as we pass into 24 hours of continuous daylight.
Landing on Wolf’s Fang Runway deep in the interior of Antarctica, you will experience a landscape unlike anything else on earth and become one of the few that have ever stepped foot on the Seventh Continent.
For centuries, the Last Continent has held a special place in our imaginations, yet even now, long after the first explorers reached the South Pole, access to the interior of Antarctica is still only for the very few.
After a five-hour flight from Cape Town, South Africa, we bring you into the heart of Antarctica, a place that is both surreal and majestic. From iridescent ice tunnels to vertical spires of rock, from endless uninhabited horizons to oceans scattered with icebergs, this is a place unlike anywhere else on Planet Earth.
Come with us on an unforgettable journey. Come explore.

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.
Often tipped as one of the most beautiful cities in the world, Cape Town is home to award-winning vineyards and stunning ocean vistas.
We will host a safety briefing the day before your scheduled flight where our staff will explain all kit requirements, assist with any last-minute preparations and update you on the latest weather forecasts for Antarctica.
For all its beauty, Antarctica can be a challenging environment, with low temperatures, strong winds and high altitudes. For that reason we are absolutely uncompromising about recruiting the best people to look after you and keep you safe. Our team in Antarctica includes a doctor with a full medical kit, our guides are all UIAGM-qualified and all staff are trained in first aid and rescue procedures, satnav communications and Search & Rescue.
We travel in uncompromising comfort across the mighty Southern Ocean in a private aircraft. During the five-hour flight, the African night turns to
the Antarctic day as we soar over thousands of icebergs on our way to one of the most remote locations on Earth.
Destination: Wolf’s Fang Runway.
Our runway is overlooked by one of the most magnificent and iconic mountains on the entire continent, named ‘Wolf’s Fang’ by the early Norwegian explorers. After landing on the ancient blue ice, you will be surrounded by massive monoliths of rock that rise vertically from the glacier.
After your arrival you will spend 3 hours on the continent. Our UIAGM-qualified mountain guides will lead you on a gentle hike to the base of a nearby mountain where we will host a champagne picnic with views like no other. For the more daring, you’ll be guided to the summit to look over the mountains of the Wolf’s Fang range.
After an unforgettable time on ice, you will board your return flight to Cape Town.
