Overview

Antarctica is known as one of the world’s top paddling locations and after over 20 years of operating there, our knowledge and expertise is second to none. While Antarctica is known as a wild destination, we will mostly paddle in sheltered water ways using the 50 passenger Polar Pioneer as our study base camp to explore the earth’s icy extremes. Don’t miss this opportunity to paddle with the penguins on this adventure to the end of the earth.
Since our first expedition to Antarctica in 1998, we have been a world leader in facilitating intimate and immersive experiences in this spectacular area of the world. We introduced and ran the first kayaking programs in Antarctica, much of that aboard the sturdy explorer, the Polar Pioneer. Our knowledge and expertise in exploring this destination by sea is second to none. Our chosen vessel is the only 50 passenger vessels operating in the waters of the Antarctic peninsula. The Polar Pioneer is tough, nimble and quick to load and unload so you can maximise your adventure, which makes her the perfect base for skiing, kayaking and the intimate exploration of the Antarctic.
