  • Travel through pristine polar wilderness comparatively few people have ever seen
  • Kayak amid ice floes, icebergs, and marine life
  • Hike, snowshoe, or cross-country ski in untouched mainland or sea-ice realms
  • Camp out under pure Antarctic skies or dive below the icy waters
  • Fly over back-of-beyond mountains and ice plateaus

The White Continent easily ranks among the most adventurous destinations on Earth, even though the mode of travel there can be delightfully plush. Any cruise down here serves up Antarctica adventure via staggering polar scenery, dramatic wildlife, and the thrill of venturing through Earth’s ultimate wilderness. But for those seeking more active experiences, Antarctica adventure travel can be taken to the next level by electing to include optional adventure activities into their itineraries.

Select cruises offer opportunities for kayaking, cross-country skiing, and other out-and-about activities, whilst scenic helicopter flights—with the option of touchdowns in many cases—show off even more remote Antarctic glories such as the McMurdo Dry Valleys. Arguably the most action-packed of Antarctica adventure tours are the Basecamp itinerary packages, which cover less ground but enhance intimate experience with polar land- and seascapes via multi-day anchorages and included group outings such as paddling, hiking, and camping. Specialty adventure trips to Antarctica can even include such once-in-a-lifetime thrills as scuba-diving under the ice!
