Discover Antarctica’s breathtaking beauty from an entirely new angle with our guided polar snorkeling experience. Under the care of our experienced guides, you’ll have the chance—when conditions allow—to gently explore the sheltered bays and clear waters surrounding the continent.
From the surface, marvel at graceful penguins darting through the sea, intricately sculpted ice formations, and a fascinating array of marine life including starfish, crustaceans, and colourful sea slugs. It’s a serene and unforgettable way to appreciate the magic beneath the ice without needing to dive deep.
We provide all the equipment you need—warm drysuits, gloves, masks, and more—along with full instruction and support to ensure you feel confident, safe, and comfortable throughout. For those seeking a peaceful yet profound connection with the polar world, this is a truly unique opportunity.
Our team of experienced guides have over 20 years’ experience and provide snorkelers with detailed briefings and best practice procedures to ensure a safe snorkeling experience.
Polar snorkeling requires at least 6 snorkelers for the activity to proceed. Please ask our team for numbers at time of booking.
Simply inform our expert team at the time of booking that you would like to add the optional snorkeling activity to your trip. Places are limited.
Through crystal clear waters, you’ll discover the amazing mobility and speed of penguins entering and exiting from the ice, marvel at beautiful sculpted icebergs below the water and witness marine life such as crustaceans, isopods, starfish and nudibranchs!
Snorkel among a kaleidoscope of coral reefs brimming with brightly-coloured tropical fish or perhaps swim with curious sea lions.
