ITINERARY

Explore Antarctica in Luxury

For centuries, the Last Continent has held a special place in our imaginations, yet even now, long after the first explorers reached the South Pole, access to the interior of Antarctica is still only for the very few. After a five-hour flight from Cape Town, South Africa, we bring you into the heart of Antarctica, a place that is both surreal and majestic. From iridescent ice tunnels to vertical spires of rock, from endless uninhabited horizons to oceans scattered with icebergs, this is a place unlike anywhere else on Planet Earth. Established 15 years ago by record-breaking polar explorers, White Desert offers you an environmentally conscious choice for luxury and adventure, sensitive to the incredible environment and animals that surround us. Come with us on an unforgettable journey. Come explore.

Our UIAGM-qualified mountain guides will lead you on a gentle hike to the base of a nearby mountain where we will host a picnic with views like no other. For the more daring, you’ll be guided to the summit to look over the mountains of the Wolf’s Fang range. Or if climbing isn’t your thing, you’re welcome to ride a fat bike on our specially prepared trails or go on a 4x4 safari drive.
