Full Itinerary

Pre-departure

Arrive in Cape Town, South Africa. To prepare for your flight south, attend a safety briefing where our team will check your polar clothing. We recommended you arrive in Cape Town three days prior to your expected departure date, which will be subject to weather conditions.

Day 1

Make no mistake – this is an adventure like no other. With your official destination registered as "Unknown International Airport," you will fly from Cape Town to Antarctica with a flight time of approximately five-and-a-half hours, soaring above icebergs scattered across the Southern Ocean. Halfway through the flight, you will cross into the Polar Circle – the land of continuous daylight. After landing on a runway carved into the ice, you will be transferred to the luxurious Whichaway Camp.

Day 2

Spend your first full day in Antarctica relaxing at your comfortable eco-camp, or embark on a gentle trek to marvel at the surreal, brilliant-blue ice waves. Thrill-seekers will have the opportunity to go kite-skiing, ice-climbing or even abseiling down polar mountains.

Day 3

Begin a day sure to be unforgettable with a two-hour flight across Antarctica, taking in the grandeur of the polar plateau before landing at the emperor penguin colony at Atka Bay to get up close and personal with these incredible creatures.

Day 4

Today you will explore the Antarctic ice tunnels – as unusual as they are beautiful. Continue your day with a visit to the nearby Russian science base to learn more about the fascinating work done there, finishing with a luxurious and restorative sauna.

Day 5

It’s time to visit the South Pole. Fly via DC3 Bassler Turbo prop plane across breathtaking mountain ranges before landing to refuel. Here you will have a chance to walk around the high polar plateau before continuing by plane to the South Pole. Once you arrive, celebrate your adventure with a toast of our iconic champagne.

Day 6

After a night camping on the polar plateau, enjoy a hearty breakfast before flying back to Whichaway Camp. From above, marvel at the sheer enormity of the continent before arriving at camp for a celebratory Clos19 three-course meal.

Day 7

Today is an opportunity to regroup and absorb all that you have seen and done. Enjoy enlightening presentations from experienced polar explorers – some of whom have attempted world record-breaking expeditions. A private Clos19 picnic, complete with breathtaking views, will be organised for your final lunch.

Day 8

Enjoy one last look at your awe-inspiring surroundings on your flight out of Antarctica and back to Cape Town – and back to reality. On arrival, you will be transferred to your hotel to reflect upon your exceptional experience.
