Antarctic Peninsula Tours

Frozen wonderland of unforgettable adventures

The Antarctic Peninsula extends like an inviting hand, displaying jagged mountain peaks veiled in ice-cold glaciers that birth majestic icebergs into the ocean .

The Antarctic Peninsula features a submerged ridge, the Scotia Ridge, which emerges above sea-level at its northern tip. With an 800km (500 miles) chain of mountains and scattered islands, the peninsula showcases Antarctica's most striking landscapes and diverse wildlife. Prepare for potential sensory overload from the sheer scale of the landscapes you will see here.

There are many exciting destinations around the Antarctic Peninsula including Hope Bay, which proudly hosts the Argentinean Esperanza Base. As a year-round settlement, it offers various amenities like a post office and school, symbolizing humanity's continuous presence in this harsh yet enchanting region.

Paradise Harbour, true to its name, reveals a breathtaking spectacle of diverse wildlife and captivating landscapes. Petrels, cormorants, seals, penguins, and occasionally whales grace the scene, enhancing the natural grandeur of the area. A zodiac cruise in this enchanting haven ranks as one of the most unforgettable experiences during a trip to Antarctica.

Discover Marguerite Bay on the west coast of the Antarctic Peninsula. Admire its ice-covered mountains and witness the enchanting Emperor penguin colony at Dion Islands. Immerse yourself in history with research stations like San Martin on Barry Island (Argentinian) and Rothera & Fossil Bluff on Adelaide and Alexandra Islands (British), dating back to 1951.

The Lemaire Channel, often dubbed one of Antarctica's most stunning and photogenic sights, is a narrow passageway wedged between the Antarctic Peninsula and Booth Island. Its serpentine route presents a navigational challenge, bordered by towering cliffs that create an awe-inspiring corridor for those fortunate enough to traverse it.

Additionally, Port Lockroy is the home of the British Antarctic Survey base, nestled within a natural harbour accessible through the Neumayer Channel. Aside from its picturesque charm, the site houses a post office and a fascinating museum so you can send your loved ones a postcard from one of the most remote post offices in the world!

I have just returned from the most amazing trip to Tanzania, booked with Far & Wild. Everything went so smoothly from the first time I spoke with them. The planning was great, the itinerary was perfect for us, and the lodges were amazing. We spent 10 nights with an amazing guide, travelling through Northern Tanzania and even got to see the migration, which was a lifetime ambition of mine. This wasn't our first safari, so we were nervous as to how it would compare, but it was spot on. I will certainly be using them again to book our next trip....we're thinking of a relaxing beach stay next time to get over the excitement of safari!

Just back from another amazing F&W organised trip to Namibia with the family (8 adults). Having been there before, Alistair tailored our trip to include our favourite locations and added a new one for us, which we loved.The quality of accommodation and guiding, activities, food and drinks was exceptional throughout. It was good value for the level of luxury we had.

We had a wonderful trip to São Tomé and Príncipe - a small island nation in the Gulf of Guinea with paradise (almost empty) beaches and jungle forest. It was all well organised by Far and Wild and we stayed at a great combination of different types of resorts/hotels. We really recommend this for those who want to experience a pristine destination with few other tourists and friendly and welcoming people. The islands also feel very safe. At Principe, there are no dangerous animals, snakes or whatever, and it was great to be able to hike in the jungle without being very conscious of where to put your hands and feet. Go before everyone else does!

Back home again, basking in the joys of a superb safari. Every aspect you arranged for us, including linking up with Mack Air and Wild Horizons locally to transport us. The choice of camps was ideally situated, comfortable, in good surroundings, and with excellent wildlife on the doorstep and throughout the wider country. The service staff in each looked after us very well, catering was excellent, and the game guides were professional, knowledgeable and helpful. You made us happy, and we recommend you to similar safari enthusiasts with confidence.

Far and Wild went above and beyond to make sure my trip to Zambia was special. I would definitely recommend them and their services to anyone wanting to travel to Africa.

Lovely holiday at the amazing Almanara on Galu beach, a beach like no other. Far and Wild excelled themselves from beginning to end of our holiday in beautiful Kenya.... What a country!,

Wow! These guys are amazing. Can’t recommend them highly enough. Friendly AND efficient! Sorted out our trip (last minute and lots of different family member needs, sorry!) in record time and everything worked like clockwork. Trip of a lifetime to the Masai Mara. Will be back (and use F&W again!)!
