Wildlife Tours in Antarctica

Antarctica Wildlife Fly and Cruise Expeditions

You will encounter incredible insights on a wildlife Antarctica cruise, with whales, penguins and seals abounding around the krill-rich waters of the Southern Ocean in the November to March season.

Wildlife Antarctica Boat Trips

From November to March, Antarctica comes alive in ways that are nothing short of extraordinary, all thanks to the abundance of krill. This crustacean grows to about 5cm and underpins the Antarctic food web.

You can expect to see a variety of penguin species on Antarctica boat excursions, and will have the pleasure of seeing penguin chicks, quite possibly from close, and wildlife in Antarctica is timid to humans.

Wildlife Cruises to Antarctica

From February onwards, the waters around Antarctica become a stage for a mesmerizing whale show. Humpback whales and minke whales, having gorged themselves following their "fasting" period, become much more inquisitive and active, often putting on diving, breaching or spy-hopping displays. Keep your eyes peeled for other larger whale species like sperm whales and finn whales. Their graceful presence in the Antarctic waters is truly a sight to behold.

Best Antarctica Boat Expeditions

As the majority of orca live in the Antarctic, you have a good chance of spotting these majestic creatures. Witnessing their intelligence and teamwork in the wild is an experience that will leave you in awe.

Antarctica is also home to an abundance of seals, each with its unique charm. You'll encounter various species, from the adorable Weddell seals to the formidable leopard seals. If your cruise takes you to South Georgia, get ready for an encounter with vast colonies of king penguins and fur seals. It's a scene straight out of a wildlife documentary, and you'll have the opportunity to observe these creatures in their natural habitat.

We have magnificent wildlife holidays in places like Costa Rica and Africa, but the cruises to Antarctica may be the most exciting of all.

Your wildlife cruise to Antarctica is a journey into one of the planet's last wild frontiers. It's a chance to witness the marvels of the natural world and to be humbled by its beauty.
