Basecamp
“Base camp” is by definition a temporary storing and starting place, from which an activity starts. We offer “activity modules” which go beyond our normal shore program.
Camping
We aim at least one night out on each trip but the expedition team will offer more camping occasions when possible.
Diving
Our thorough knowledge of the Polar areas enabled us to develop voyages combining nature cruises with diving expeditions, offering you the best dive sites in a fascinating world of ice. These polar diving cruises are still true expedition style.
Hiking
Oceanwide Expeditions has been a pioneer in expedition cruises in the Arctic and Antarctica for many years now. We feel at home on land as much as on the sea! As we carry several guides on board our motor vessels we can split up passengers into smaller groups for landings.
Kayaking
Kayaking is one of the most amazing ways to explore the remote Antarctic coastlines. Kayakers accompanied by a kayak guide have the opportunity to go off the beaten track. Paddling between icebergs or pack ice, observing animals in their natural environment.
Mountaineering
This is a technical and more strenuous activity for mountaineers who wish to walk beyond the shore radius in order to reach higher grounds and view points. The snowshoe hiking demands no extra skills besides a normal, good state of health.
Padding
Explore the ocean from a more intimate vantage point on a sit-on-top kayak. No experience is required to manoeuvre these very stable kayaks.
