Day 3 - Antarctica
Settle into Whichaway Oasis and do as much, or as little, as you like. Activities range from yoga, massages and gentle treks to exploring the incredible ice waves, summiting a nunatak, ice climbing and even abseiling.
On quieter days, you’ll hear talks from the polar explorer staff about some of the lesser-known history of Antarctica and their world record-breaking expeditions.

Day 5 - Antarctica
Spend the day exploring the ice waves below your eco camp, delving into the series of mythical ice tunnels that are as surreal as they are beautiful.
Then you’ll be off on an Arctic Truck safari, winding your way through the snow and ice to an incredible vantage point wherenyou can take in the panoramic view over the waves that you have just explored.
Day 6 - Antarctica (South Pole)
Leave early in the morning in a Basler BT-67 aircraft, flying over stunning mountain ranges before landing at 83° South to refuel.
After a walk on the high polar plateau, continue to the South Pole, where you’ll have plenty of time for photos and a chance to stamp your passport before flying back to 83° South. It’s overnight in the great wilderness of the Antarctic Plateau.
Note:
The South Pole is situated at an apparent altitude of 4,000 metres with an approximate ambient temperature of -25ºC. Those with pre-conditions for altitude sickness are advised to avoid this option.
Day 7 - Antarctica
After a night under canvas, enjoy a hearty breakfast before boarding the plane once again to return to Whichaway Oasis. The flight is the perfect chance to appreciate the immense scale of Antarctica!
Upon your return to camp, it’s time to look forward to a three-course champagne dinner to celebrate your exploration achievements.

An adventurous hike along a winding cliff face rewards you with stunning views over pressure ridges of ice that have been folded over millennia by the ocean.
World-class mountain guides will lead you on this challenging hike, ensuring your safety at all times.
Day 9 - Antarctica to Cape Town
The flight out of Antarctica on the shared private jet wraps up your exotic adventure in the White Continent. It’s time to dive back into the vibrant energy of Africa!
