Antarctica Polar Expedition Skip to Packages

Going from last months to this months featured destination couldn’t be further apart, the beautiful beaches and hot sunny weather to the icebergs and Penguins in Antarctica or the polar Bears in the High Artic.

Being a travel agent we get to go travel a lot but we haven’t been everywhere.   Antarctica is somewhere that I have always wanted to travel to and we need to all get there sooner rather than later before the tourists are banned from travelling in this area.

This is a Bucket List Destination it can’t be done on a cheap budget and you wouldn’t want it to be.    It is not uncommon for people to book their Antarctic or High Artic adventure 18 mths – 2 years in advance so don’t think that you have to wait to plan these.

A polar expedition is a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

If you are interested in this area come to the Red Beach Surf Lifesaving club on Monday 7th August at 6.30 pm to hear from an amazing speaker who is totally passionate about these areas.  Please enter your details below to let me know if you can make it.

Antarctica

About Antarctica

 

It’s the final frontier – a frigid and perilous world, the most isolated land on earth.

Take a holiday to the end of the world, where stepping stone islands lead to the blinding white of Antarctica. Voyage through wild seas and cruise through an array of icebergs as you make your way to the earth’s most extreme continent. Antarctica has some of the world’s best whale-viewing, seal-gazing and penguin-watching experiences, not to mention the birdlife in the region. This southern land even has a modest history of its own, with British outposts – The Falkland Islands and South Georgia – exuding warmth from their pubs and old-world hospitality.

Why we love Antarctica

  • Between them, our leaders have made hundreds of polar voyages. Enjoy regular lectures about the history, geography and wildlife of the Antarctic by an on-board team of experts, who are always at the ready to point out new species of seals and birds
  • No two days in Antarctica are ever the same. Sit quietly on a beach in the middle of penguin rush hour, visit a research station or cross the Antarctic Circle into remote territory where very few have ventured before
  • We stop for whales! If conditions allow, we’ll launch the Zodiacs to get a closer look and cruise through the Antarctic waters. These magnificent creatures are usually as curious as we are
  • Cruise along the wild and less-visited east coast of the Antarctic Peninsula. Vast icy plains, blue glowing icebergs, glaciers calving into the sea – the landscapes here are like nowhere else on Earth
  • Explore the frontier landscapes of the Falkland Islands, and strike up a conversation with a friendly local in the remote outpost of Stanley
  • South Georgia Island is rich in rare wildlife and history. See over 30 species of birds and visit the grave of the renowned explorer, Sir Ernest Shackleton
  • Antarctica is the perfect place to try something new for your next holiday. From polar ice camping to kayaking among icebergs, or even taking a plunge into the frigid waters of Neko Harbour, there are plenty of options to broaden your horizons

 

High Arctic

About the High Arctic

 

As you step across the Arctic Circle, you enter a realm where nature rules and the people must obey in reverence.

In the harsh land of the Arctic, few peoples have survived. There’s Greenland’s Inuits with their furs and sealskins, and the Yttygran natives with their graveyard of harvested beluga, Whalebone Alley. But despite the struggle for survival, the Arctic has more than its share of rewards. Norway’s fjords dazzle all who pass through and the northern lights at Ittoqqortoormiit electrify the night. Take a voyage haunted by icebergs to Spitsbergen and discover the secrets of this world’s northernmost sphere.
