Antarctica is a truly unique destination, and a dedicated kayak-focused expedition is rare enough that I believe our itinerary is worth documenting in detail. This post aims to do just that. To the best of my recollection, I’ll outline the locations we visited, where we spent each night, and, most importantly, our kayaking routes. While I’ll briefly mention the landscapes and wildlife we encountered, I’ll save in-depth descriptions for future posts.
Unlike my usual storytelling style, this post will be more factual than inspirational. It may serve as both a personal record and a useful resource for others researching or planning a similar trip. Our kayak routes are likely unique, as kayaking from expedition cruise ships offers a very different experience—typically limited to short excursions.
