ANTARCTIC CIRCLE QUEST

No. Boots are provided onboard. Bring numerous pairs of wooly socks though to keep your feet warm. We would also recommend a clothes peg or clip for your boots that you can clearly identify as your own. Helps to track down your own pair of boots in the wet room.

It’s summer time so on the Peninsula the temperature typically fluctuates a few degrees above and below zero. On an inclement day in a zodiac the wind chill will make it feel considerably colder than this. Remember the expedition boats are really snug and cosy so bring casual clothes you can relax in onboard. There’s no requirement to look like an explorer the whole journey.

Remember if you want to enjoy the kayaking this must be booked in advance. The actual amount of kayaking depends on the weather and the expedition route but you can expect to enjoy 5 or 6 kayaking excursions. These might be for an hour or for a full half day.

Most clients are eligible to travel via the US under the US Visa Waiver Programme, however to do this you must register for an ETA (Electronic Travel Authority). This must be done prior to departure - more details can be found at www.exodus.co.uk/usvisa

It is a condition of joining any of our holidays that you must be insured against medical and personal accident risks (to include repatriation costs, air ambulance and helicopter rescue services). We also strongly recommend that you take out cancellation insurance.

Our insurance policy is designed specifically to cover the potential risks on our holidays, and you should be aware that some policies do not include, or restrict, cover for this type of travel. If you do not take our policy, you must ensure that the policy you do take provides an equivalent level of protection and covers you for the activities involved.
