I am an experienced kayaker. Can I go on excursions by myself?
The Antarctic environment presents special challenges. In the interest of safety, the sea
kayaking program operates only as a group activity guided by an experienced Kayak Master
and supported by a safety Zodiac. Independent excursions are not possible.
I would like to try out kayaking but only once or twice. Can I do it?
Kayaking in Antarctica requires fitted equipment and special preparation. The group program
offers progressive skill development that can only take place with participation in the full
program. For these reasons, it is not possible to try kayak only once or twice. Participants can
opt out of an excursion (to spend more time at a landing site, for example) if they wish.
