Itinerary
-
Soar across ice-cloaked oceans on a 5.5-hour flight from Cape Town.
Cross into the Polar Circle and bask in endless daylight. Land on a
blue-ice runway, then toast your arrival at Echo with cocktails chilled by
10,000-year-old Antarctic ice.
-
Curate your perfect day: from yoga, massages, and gentle hikes to
abseiling and summiting a nunatak. Or, slow down and listen to our
explorer team’s tales of lesser-known Antarctic history and recordbreaking
feats beneath the endless southern skies.
-
Fly 2.5 hours across dazzling landscapes to Atka Bay. Walk among
resilient Emperor penguins; majestic, rare, and utterly unforgettable.
Very few will ever witness such a scene in the wild heart of Antarctica.
-
Hike above the ice sheet to sweeping views of untouched peaks.
Enjoy a champagne picnic, then venture further with your guide to a
breathtaking lookout. Every step reveals the vast, silent beauty that
defines this polar realm.
-
The South Pole awaits. Board our Basler aircraft and fly over vast
mountain ranges. After refuelling at Dixie’s Camp, land at the Pole and
stand where explorers dreamt to be. Capture the moment, stamp your
passport, and overnight like the pioneers.
-
Awaken under canvas on the High Polar Plateau. After breakfast, fly back
to Echo, savouring the scale and solitude from above. A celebratory
three-course dinner and champagne await your return, your triumph
toasted beneath Antarctic skies.
-
Venture along a dramatic cliff-side trail with panoramic views of the last
true wilderness. Led by IFMGA mountain guides, this challenging hike
promises awe, exhilaration, and a deeper connection to Antarctica’s
untamed spirit.
-
The flight out of Antarctica will be the last of your enduring memories of
the great White Continent before you dive back into the vibrant energy
of Africa. You will be transferred to your hotel where you will have a
chance to relax and reflect on your Antarctic adventure!
