Antarctic Women’s Expedition: Fly the Drake
Tour Overview
An empowering 10-day journey for women to discover the wild beauty of Antarctica. Travel through the polar extremes, forge unforgettable bonds, and be part of an inspiring team of explorers pushing the limits of adventure. Answer the call of the wild on an unforgettable Antarctic adventure—designed by women, led by women, for women.
Fly over the infamous Drake Passage and step aboard the Sylvia Earle, a state-of-the-art small-ship expedition vessel named after legendary oceanographer and conservationist Dr. Sylvia Earle. Each deck pays homage to pioneering women in conservation, celebrating their courage, impact, and stories.
Your days will be filled with Zodiac landings, kayaking among icebergs, visits to penguin colonies, and opportunities to witness whales breach and seals lounging on ice floes. With expert female guides, naturalists, and expedition leaders by your side, you'll gain deeper insight into the fragile beauty and scientific importance of Antarctica.
Late summer is a magical time in the Antarctic Peninsula. The ice is retreating, opening access to dramatic landscapes and remote landings. Wildlife is active—chicks are fledging, whales are feeding, and seabirds fill the skies under golden sunsets that linger into the night.
This isn’t just a trip; it’s a chance to step outside your comfort zone, ignite your sense of wonder, and form lifelong bonds through a shared journey of discovery. From powerful polar silence to the thunder of calving glaciers, every moment is a reminder of the strength found in nature—and in yourself.
