These expeditions offer a rare opportunity to witness the majestic beauty of whales in their natural habitat, alongside a plethora of other wildlife that calls these pristine waters home. Over the course of 12 to 28 days, adventurers will explore the Subantarctic Islands, a UNESCO World Heritage site teeming with endemic bird species and rich biodiversity, and venture into the historical Ross Sea region of Antarctica. These tours promise not just sightings of the gentle giants of the sea but also an educational experience that delves into the history of early polar exploration.

Hannah and Nur got the gist of what we wanted our trip to be. They got us in hotels that were located centrally to historic tours. Tours and excursions that were significant, enriching and enjoyable. We had drivers that were on time/reliable. We got from location to location with ease. I would never have been able to plan this myself. I would not have known enough to ask for what we needed. This was above and beyond what I expected. Well done!
