ADVENTURE

Adventure starts when you leave the ship. Imagine waking up in Antarctica, pulling on your expedition gear and stepping into a Zodiac as your ship disappears behind you. Ten minutes later, you’re walking across an ancient glacier. Tomorrow? You could be kayaking between icebergs, hiking across a remote island or getting up close to wildlife you’ve only ever seen in documentaries. And then it gets even more adventurous. Take a submarine beneath the surface to discover a world almost nobody gets to see. Fly by helicopter over untouched wilderness. Go scuba diving or snorkelling in crystal-clear Galapapigan tropical waters. Jump on a dog sled and race across the Arctic. Head off on a remote camp beneath the stars or on the ice, or simply explore somewhere completely wild on foot. And, of course, there’s the humble Zodiac — the most important adventure vehicle in expedition travel. One minute you’re cruising past towering ice cliffs, the next you’re navigating a remote tropical coastline or searching for cetations. Then comes the moment when someone asks: “Who’s brave enough for the polar plunge?” You already know the answer. From glacier walks to submarine dives, kayaking to helicopter flights, snorkelling to dog sledding, expedition travel gives you countless ways to experience the world — often in places where there isn’t a road, a path or a tourist attraction in sight. The best part? You never really know what tomorrow’s adventure will bring. Tell us what gets your adrenaline going, and we’ll help you find the expedition that lets you do it.
