Viva Expeditions Can Take You To Antarctica

With the TVNZ Hilary series currently featuring on our screens, Antarctica is very much front of mind. A trip to Antarctica is without question a highlight in any traveller’s diary, and Viva Expeditions invite travellers to follow in the footsteps of Hilary and the Antarctic explorers and discover a world that is beyond their wildest imagination.  With Viva Expeditions clients will enjoy regular on-shore excursions during their voyage with unimaginable opportunities to observe and record the wildlife and landscape at its best.

Viva Expeditions’ ships are equipped with a fleet of Zodiacs, which provide an efficient and safe way to sail the Antarctic waters amongst soaring icebergs and abundant wildlife, and is a great way to explore secluded bays in small groups, along with a professional guide. People can also go sea kayaking, no matter their level of fitness, providing a brilliant opportunity to view the breathtaking ice and wildlife up close.

For those with some previous skiing experience the trip provides for some cross-country skiing as an optional extra, and experienced divers can also explore the Antarctic underworld. A limited number of vessels offer diving in Antarctica so prospective divers should ask Viva Expeditions’ specialists about the available options.

Camping on the ice is also an optional extra available on several journeys. However, places are limited and people should reserve thei spot at the time of booking. All camping equipment is provided. The Viva Expeditions Antarctic trip can also take people mountaineering on selected expeditions, and everywhere they look on their Antarctic journey offers a new opportunity for bird and wildlife watching. They can also take their voyage to new heights by choosing a guided hiking tour, leading them to spectacular vantage points to allow even closer interaction with local wildlife.

Viva Expeditions also have a guided photography tour which caters to all levels of photographic skill. This optional extra includes presentations, several workshops and excursions designed to enhance the many photographic opportunities available. Please note that this activity requires participants to bring their own camera.
