ANTARCTICA FLIGHTS

On 1989, our airline began flying to King George Island in Antarctica, to where it has been flying without interruption to this day. We are the private airline with more experience in flying to Antarctica. This place is one of the only places on Earth that is still pristine, it is, why, it has become an important reserve for the biosphere. Its unique beauty contrasted with its extreme weather conditions, make it an exotic and enchanting destination for all those privileged travelers who are planning a visit to the end of the world.

On our aircraft you will fly over the Magellan Strait, Tierra del Fuego Island, Darwin Mountain Range, the mythical Cape Horn and the stormy Drake Passage to finally arrive at King George Island, Gateway to the White continent.

 

BEFORE THE PROGRAM

Upon arrival in Punta Arenas, the program includes 4 consecutive nights of accommodation with breakfast.

72 to 48 hours before the tour, you will receive via e-mail directions to participate in the Antarctic briefing reunion. Here, you will meet with the other tour passengers and be greeted by our host, who will invite you to a welcome cocktail.

Your arrival itinerary in Punta Arenas must allow you to participate in the Antarctic briefing. Passengers who are not present at this meeting will not be able to participate in the booked tour. It is mandatory.

Each program and its activities are subject to weather conditions; therefore, it will be the sole decision of our Operations Department whether or not they can be carried out.

 

DESCRIPTION OF FULL DAY PROGRAM

A transfer will pick you up at the hotel to transport you to the Punta Arenas airport and board the flight to King George Island.

Upon arrival you will be greeted by our expert guide in the area who will take you to visit some of the most characteristic places such as Villas Las Estrellas (first site inhabited by civilians), Orthodox Church in Russian Base Bellingshausen, Fildes Bay where you will sail on a zodiac type boat to Ardley Island to visit penguin colonies (Adelie, Chinstrap and Papua), and other visits in the area.

After 5 hours of tour (subject to weather conditions) you will take the return flight to Punta Arenas where a transfer will take you back to the hotel.

All programs’ visits are made by foot. The whole program including visits, walks and navigations is subject to weather conditions and may change the order of the tour/activities and the total hours of stay.

RECOMMENDATIONS

• Travelers are advised to schedule a 3 days window (not considering the arrival day) when planning their Antarctic visit, to make the tour, in case of bad weather conditions that might postpone the program. If the client doesn’t wait for those 3 days and leaves before the trip may be carried out, we will not be responsible for such situation, denying any kind of refund to the passenger. Please remember that the arrival in Punta Arenas must be the day before of the trip, and no later than 5 PM.

• For Full Day programs we recommend to bring a small backpack (5 kilograms / 11 pounds). For Overnight programs we recommend a small backpack as well (10 kilograms /22 pounds).

• Before the flight: Remember to bring your passport, bring cash (Chilean pesos or US dollars) in case you want to buy souvenirs during your visit; as well, remember to go to the restroom at the airport.
