Antarctica is a harsh, distant, and hard-to-reach permafrost continent, which makes it even more attractive to experienced travelers. To feel like a discoverer, to touch a mystery available to few, to dissolve in the pristine beauty of snowy deserts while enjoying comfort and premium service—isn't this the dream of the modern tourist?
We invite you to an expedition through the kingdom of snow and ice, where you can see surreal blue rivers, caves, and tunnels, where in summer, the sun does not set, and in winter, there is an endless night. Six days of incredible adventures, hikes, and new experiences led by expert guides and explorers who will help you understand this distant and mysterious continent. From encounters with emperor penguins and their chicks to climbing icy peaks, every day will be filled with discoveries and unforgettable moments that will last a lifetime.
On this journey, you have the option to choose between two unique camps: Echo or Whichaway. Each of them offers its own features and benefits.

Your expedition will begin with a 5-hour flight from Cape Town to Antarctica on a comfortable passenger Airbus with business class service. You'll fly over thousands of icebergs, cross the Arctic Circle, and land on the private ice airstrip Wolf Fang. Upon landing, you'll be transferred to one of two luxury camps amidst snowy landscapes, where you'll be invited to stroll around the Oasis, enjoy the silence, or try a cocktail with a 10,000-year-old ice cube.
Day 2. Exploring the сamps
After checking into the cozy “space capsules,” a busy day awaits you. You can decide how to spend it: from a relaxing massage and yoga to hiking in the mountains and glaciers. For extreme sports enthusiasts, climbing to the top of Nunatak and ice climbing are available. In between activities, you can listen to fascinating stories from a team of polar explorers about little-known events from the history of Antarctica and their world-record-breaking expeditions.
Day 3. Emperor penguins and chicks
The period of the birth of emperor penguin chicks is a unique and touching moment in the life of these majestic birds that attract the attention and admiration of observers worldwide.
In November/December, you can see more than 14,000 pairs of penguins and their newly hatched chicks - a cute and noisy sight that provides an unforgettable experience and a deep sense of connection with nature. So few visitors come to this colony that the chicks are fearless of people and often try to get very close. In turn, observers must be responsible, follow IAATO instructions, and stay at least 5 meters away from penguins.
Watching fluffy chicks' first steps and interactions with their parents is a breathtaking sight, full of tenderness and trembling moments. You will be among the lucky few who will see this unique event.
Day 4. Exploration of Antarctica
Echo camp: Spend the day exploring the nearby mountains with a light hike overlooking the endless ice plain, followed by a champagne picnic. Then, accompanied by your guide, journey through the snow and ice to an incredible viewpoint, offering a stunning panorama of the mountains you've just explored.
Camp Whichaway: Spend the day exploring the icy waves near the camp and the surreal ice tunnels. Travel with your guide through the snow and ice to the observation deck, which offers a magical view of the natural formations you've been observing.
Day 5. Hiking
Today, you will go on an exciting hike along the winding cliff face, accompanied by experienced guides from the UIAGM. You will be able to enjoy stunning views of the ice ridges, formed over millennia by the action of ocean waves. This trip will give you the opportunity to fully experience the grandeur and unique beauty of Antarctica, leaving an unforgettable impression.
Day 6. Antarctica - Cape Town
Completion of the expedition on the White Continent. Return to Cape Town.
The aftertaste of another reality without the internet, the usual hustle, and the noise of city life will stay with you for a long time! The opportunity to see the new life and struggle for survival of emperor penguins, climb a majestic ice wall with climbing equipment, and live in futuristic modules among landscapes reminiscent of the lunar expanse. This experience will make you feel part of nature and awaken a desire to protect this fragile world.
Entrust the fulfillment of your dreams to conquer the sixth continent with professionals: more than 100 team members, including instructors with five years of qualification from the UIAGM, an experienced doctor in each camp, and a pilot with ten years of experience.
