Flight Expeditions

Flight expeditions take you to regions that are only accessible from the air or can only be comprehended in their vastness from a bird's-eye view. Whether by helicopter over glaciers, in a bush plane to remote wildlife reserves, or on a scenic flight over spectacular landscapes – experiencing the world from the air creates unforgettable impressions. Each landing brings you to places full of magic, far from ordinary travel routes, and perfectly tailored to your personal adventure.

Antarctica in one day

From Cape Town for a day into the eternal ice

In just one day from Cape Town to Antarctica and back: After about five and a half hours of flying, you will land on the blue ice runway of Wolf's Fang in Queen Maud Land. There, you descend into an ice cave, rappel down a glacier, and toast with champagne at the ice bar to this extraordinary moment. In the evening, you will fly back to Cape Town – with memories of a continent that only a few people have ever set foot on.

Emperor Penguin chicks & blue ice tunnels

The first steps in the Antarctic early summer

In November, thousands of Emperor Penguin chicks take their first steps on the ice at Atka Bay – a spectacle that only a few people have ever witnessed. From Cape Town, you fly directly to Antarctica and further to Echo Base, a futuristic camp with only six pods on the inland ice. A flight over the ice shelf brings you to the colony, and a hike leads you into the sapphire blue ice tunnels. A flight expedition for those who want to get up close to Antarctica.
