Itinerary Breakdown
Day 1
Experiences
There will be 3 to 4 hours on the ground in Antarctica with a choice of either a summit up on the Nunatak mountain or a fat bike or 4×4 safari drive over the ice. No specific fitness level is required.
Are you ready?
Day 1
Land at
Wolf’s Fang Runway
Prior to departure, you’ll receive a full safety briefing at The Silo Hotel in Cape Town, where experienced staff will cover kit requirements, weather conditions, and any final questions. You’ll also meet the fellow adventurers joining you on this once-in-a-lifetime journey.
The following day, board a Gulfstream 6550 jet and soar over 2,640 miles of Southern Ocean and drifting icebergs. After a 5-hour flight, you’ll land on Antarctica’s legendary Wolf’s Fang Runway — carved entirely from ice — and step into a world of mile-high monoliths and endless white.
From here, take a gentle hike with polar guides to a scenic picnic spot at the base of a nearby Nunatak, then continue to the summit for sweeping views and iconic photos. Prefer something different? Opt for a fat bike ride or a 4×4 safari across the ice.
