Antarctic Expeditions

Tailored travel to the frozen continent

"Antarctica has this mythic weight. It resides in the collective unconscious of so many people, and it makes this huge impact, just like outer space. It's like going to the moon." ― Jon Krakauer, writer and mountaineer.

"The land looks like a fairy tale." ― Roald Amundsen, first explorer to reach the South Pole

"Antarctica still remains a remote, lonely and desolate continent. A place where it's possible to see the splendours and immensities of the natural world at its most dramatic and, what's more, witness them almost exactly as they were, long, long before human beings ever arrived on the surface of this planet. Long may it remain so." ― Sir David Attenborough, broadcaster and naturalist.

"In the soft glamour of the midsummer midnight sun, we were possessed by a rapturous wonder--the rare thrill of unreality." ― Douglas Mawson, explorer and geologist

Indepth Wildlife Experiences

Small ship cruising offers the opportunity to explore parts of the world that are often otherwise inaccessible. Small ship expeditions often visit wildlife rich destinations including Antarctica, the Subantarctic Islands, the Galapagos Islands and Madagascar, to name just a few. 

Our small ship cruises follow responsible travel procedures to minimise impacts on the environments that you will visit. You'll be advised to keep at least 5m away from all wildlife, however, you'll often find that if you sit quietly a respectful distance away, inquisitive wildlife will ofter come to you, making for the most memorable encounters. 

The team at Wild Earth Travel have experienced, and worked in many wildlife lovers' favourite destinations, so we are happy to share with you our knowledge and tips including the best time of year to visit to see certain species.
