South Georgia & Antarctica Penguin Safari
South Georgia & Antarctic Peninsula Penguin Safari 16 days
South Georgia & Antarctic Peninsula Penguin Safari 16 days
Aboard: Ocean Diamond
Penguins, penguins and more penguins! Join us for this special voyage to the wildlife paradise of South Georgia and simply breathtaking Antarctic Peninsula in search of as many wildlife sightings as possible. Sailing from Ushuaia we will head straight to South Georgia to discover an exceptionally scenic land which is home to millions of penguins, an abundance of other birdlife, various seal species and only a handful of humans. One of the most fertile breeding grounds in the world for sub-Antarctic wildlife, this is truly a nature lover’s paradise and we will enjoy every minute here revelling in up-close wildlife encounters. Yet South Georgia is not only for the wildlife enthusiasts amongst us, there are plenty of other fascinating aspects to the island including its rich history in relation to Antarctic exploration and its unique geological makeup. Alongside our team of experts we will learn all there is to know about the island, including making a visit to the final resting place of Sir Ernest Shackleton to learn about his legendary explorations.
If that wasn’t enough adventure for one trip we will then head far south to enjoy 3 days of thrilling exploration along the Antarctic Peninsula in search of even more up-close wildlife encounters. Surrounded by towering icebergs in a wintry wilderness you will soon discover why this remarkable part of the world has enchanted explorers for so long. As we enjoy Zodiac cruises through the ice-strewn waters surrounded by incomparable landscapes at every turn, and step foot on the 7th continent, we will be on a constant look out for the wealth of penguins who make these wild and isolated lands their home.

Now that I am back from my odyssey voyage, I thought I would let you know that after all that planning it really did exceed my expectations – we managed landings everywhere even on Tristan da Cuhna and had great bird sightings. The guides all knew what they were talking about too and made sure I got some great photos – still sorting them all out! Thanks for everything and see you at Birdfair!
Dave MartinI want to thank you for all you did to make my recent Falklands trip run so smoothly and comfortably. Thank you for all your help over the diet too.
Dr Lorna MairsJust a quick note to express my sincere thanks to you and all your staff for making this an epic adventure of immense proportions. Everything went smoothly, pickups, hotels and most of all the expedition itself. Truly a mind blowing experience unlike any I have ever taken.
