Getting off the plane at King George Island (Jane Packer)
This journey can only be described as a journey because there are no adjectives that can effectively describe it.
After an early morning wake-up at our hotel in Punta Arenas, Chile (flight times to King George Island are always subject to changes and are very weather dependent) we headed to the small hotel-sized airport. Even though it was early, the energy in the group was palpable - we were going to Antarctica! The charter plane - penguin colored of course - took us over the Drake Passage in just two hours to reach the gravel runway of a Chilean research base on the King George Island Antarctica. Having experienced the Drake passage first hand sailing over it on my previous Antarctica cruise, this experience was quite easy- and with no seasickness! Stepping foot off the plane, we were quickly brought down to the shore to board the Greg Mortimer. Catching a few glimpses of our first penguins en route, we knew we had arrived. We walked down from the runway to the shore, put on our boots, and jumped into the zodaics.
Our team is waiting and ready to talk with you about your next adventure.
So go ahead and book an appointment with one of our specialized trip planners.
Adventure Life always listens to our wants and is able to translate that into amazing experiences that easily flow from one to the other.

We have worked with Kassandra at Adventure-Life for several years. She continues to provide excellent guidance on our trips. This time, we tossed some real challenges - explicit number of days, specific itineraries and limitations on who we would prefer to sail with. She actually gave us choices ! Deposit in place and working on additional details for insurance and extensions. Another success !!

Its a beautiful country, very friendly people, and everything went like clockwork. The local guide/driver was one of the best we've had: knowledgeable, always on time, had good ideas for what to see. Khiri Travel (the local travel agency) is terrific. Second trip we've taken with them. Recommend them and Adventure Life 100%

Adventure Life organized an incredible trip matching our desired itinerary, with perfect planning and coordination from end to end, including a hand-off of guides and drivers across an international land border. I highly recommend their services.
