Weather permitting
From a kayak, Antarctica's scale becomes personal. Small groups paddle with dedicated guides, usually close to the ship, threading between floating ice and along glacier fronts while penguins porpoise past.
Good to know
Most operators run kayaking as a pre-booked programme with limited places, and require some prior paddling experience. Drysuits and specialist gear are typically provided.
Placeholder — verify availability, prices and requirements with partner operators before launch.
