0. Arrival Day

We will host a safety briefing in Cape Town. This is where we will check all your polar clothing and prepare for your flight south.

 

Day 1 Arrival at Whichaway Camp

Your Antarctic adventure begins with a scenic flight from Cape Town to Wolf's Fang Runway. Upon arrival, you'll be transferred to Whichaway Camp where you'll settle into your heated sleeping pod and enjoy a welcome dinner under the midnight sun.

 

Day 2 Discovering Whichaway

Begin your adventure at Whichaway, surrounded by dramatic rocky outcrops and iridescent blue ice. Explore the landscape on a guided hike, visit the surreal ice waves, or descend into the crystalline blue river system that makes this camp so iconic. In the evening, unwind in the sauna or enjoy a fireside dinner overlooking the vast expanse.

 

Day 3 Ice Adventures at Whichaway

Experience the thrill of abseiling down ancient ice cliffs. For a gentler pace, enjoy yoga in the dome, a massage with our in-camp Physical Therapist, or a peaceful trek across the frozen lake leading to panoramic viewpoints.

 

Day 4 South Pole Expedition

The South Pole awaits. Board our Basler aircraft and fly over vast mountain ranges and shimmering plains. After refuelling at Dixie’s Camp, continue to the southernmost point on Earth. Stand at 90° South, capture the moment, stamp your passport, and overnight on the High Polar Plateau — a true explorer’s rite of passage.

 

Day 5 Return and Camp Transition

Awaken under canvas on the High Polar Plateau. After breakfast, fly back across the continent and settle into Echo, your second camp. Celebrate your Pole achievement with a refined three-course dinner and champagne beneath the endless Antarctic sky.

 

Day 6 Echo’s Otherworldly Playgrounds

Echo offers a landscape straight from another planet. Explore the surrounding nunatak peaks, try your hand at ice climbing, or trek across untouched ridgelines with breathtaking views in every direction.

 

Day 7 High-Mountain Exploration

Embark on a challenging hike led by IFMGA-certified mountain guides. Traverse exposed ridges and dramatic rock spires that pierce the ice cap, offering some of the most surreal vistas on the continent.

 

Day 8 Departure Home

The flight out of Antarctica will be the last of your enduring memories of the great White Continent. Watch as your returning A330 or A340 touches down on the blue-ice runway. Linger at Wolf Fang’s Ice Bar among sculpted ice forms, explore  exclusive boutique, or unwind with a film before returning to the vibrant energy of Africa.
