Danko Island, the Lemaire Channel, and Christmas Eve in Antarctica

Another early morning wakeup for our second day in Antarctica, and a zodiac ride to Danko Island. We watched thousands of Gentoo penguins running up and down their penguin highways, worn tracks in the snow that they refuse to move off of. Nesting protecting their eggs, backs turned against the wind with that particular penguin stubbornness that never really stops being funny.

First Day in Antarctica: A Submarine Dive and Gentoo Penguins at Couverville Island

I've done exactly one submarine dive in my life, and it happened in Antarctica, which sounds like the start of an incredible story. Mostly it was cold and dark, and there wasn't a whole lot to see.

Crossing the Drake Passage: Two Days at Sea Before Antarctica

Ask anyone who hasn't done an Antarctic crossing what the days on the Drake Passage are actually like, and you'll usually hear some version of restful. Sea days, nothing to do, maybe a book and a nap. That is not even close to what actually happens.

The trip down to the end of the world started with a 3am wakeup call, a sleepy bus ride to the airport, and a very early morning JetSmart charter flight out of Buenos Aires.

Why Work with Me?

Antarctica is a once in a lifetime, bucket list destination for most. It’s essential to make sure you know exactly what your experience will be from the moment you set foot onboard, and understanding the differences between the multitude of operators is crucial.

I’m not just a certified pro with numerous cruise and expedition lines and a Virtuoso Voyages Cruise Host. I’ve also been there and had my life changed by what I experienced.

More about my story.

Choosing Your Ship & Season

The options are endless.

Expedition ship, luxury cruise line, or something in between?

When do you want to go? The season runs November to February, with vastly different experiences and landscapes depending on timing.


I match the choice to how you actually travel.

Things to consider when planning a trip to Antarctica.

My Process

Getting You There

Buenos Aires, Punta Arenas, Ushuaia, and more — Antarctic itineraries can start almost anywhere in South America.

Sail over the Drake Passage, or skip it and fly?
I'll help you understand your options and the experience each one actually gives you.

Preparing for the Trip

Truth is, most of us overpack for this trip (myself included).

Want to camp out on the ice? Take the polar plunge? Ride in a helicopter? Ride in a Submarine (although I don’t recommend it)?

I'll help you sort through packing guides and FAQs to figure out what you actually need... and what you can save your money on.
