This unique voyage will bring you to experience the most staggering wildlife show on earth, on the remote and spectacularly scenic island of South Georgia. A firm favourite on any Antarctic region exploration, South Georgia is quite simply a wildlife enthusiast’s paradise. This special voyage will focus solely on discovering everything that makes this incredible destination so enchanting, from the millions of penguins to the beautiful snow-capped mountains.
This itinerary has been timed to coincide with the arrival of spring in the sub-Antarctic region, allowing you to witness the beginning of the wildlife migration and the commencement of the breeding cycle for many species. Observing as the huge elephant seals, countless seals and millions of penguins and other birdlife tussle for space on the beaches you may well believe you are on the set of your very own wildlife documentary. This fascinating trip will also give us a great insight into the historical expeditions of the renowned explorer Sir Ernest Shackleton and the special connection he has to this island. An additional highlight will be the onboard photography symposium which will be open to all guests. A team of expert photographers, along with your regular team of expert historians, geologists and wildlife specialists, will help you to master your photography skills and create the perfect images of your trip. With such an abundance of wildlife and spectacular scenery you certainly won’t be short of subjects!
Renowned as one of the finest wildlife destinations on the planet, the draw of South Georgia is simply indescribable. So why not come and see for yourself why this remote and uninhabited place is so beloved!

Now that I am back from my odyssey voyage, I thought I would let you know that after all that planning it really did exceed my expectations – we managed landings everywhere even on Tristan da Cuhna and had great bird sightings. The guides all knew what they were talking about too and made sure I got some great photos – still sorting them all out! Thanks for everything and see you at Birdfair!
Dave MartinOverall I think that it was an excellent trip that was well worth the price paid and I would have no hesitation recommending your company to others.
Steve SuttonJust a quick note to express my sincere thanks to you and all your staff for making this an epic adventure of immense proportions. Everything went smoothly, pickups, hotels and most of all the expedition itself. Truly a mind blowing experience unlike any I have ever taken.
