Sea kayaking is a fabulous way to explore the little bays and waterways of the Antarctic Peninsula. You use 5-meter (16 foot) Prijon rudder-equipped double sea kayaks, which are very stable, surprisingly comfortable and incredibly tough - perfect for paddling through the icy environment. Each trip is led by two experienced and highly qualified kayak instructors and a Zodiac safety boat stays in constant communication ready to assist should the need arise.

There will be a maximum of 10 kayakers per departure and a minimum of four kayak excursions.

US$595 per person

ANTARCTIC CAMPING
This is your chance to be one of the few who have spent a night camping on the pristine ice of the White Continent. Experienced staff members handle all the logistics.
 
Group size and number of excursions:
You will be one of a maximum of 20 campers who venture ashore for the night. Weather and ice permitting, you will spend one night ashore. All meals are taken on board the vessel.
