366 upcoming Antarctic departures offering kayaking & paddling, from $8,641 per person. Optional activities have limited places — book them with the cruise.
Paddling Antarctica means sitting at water level among brash ice and icebergs, with penguins porpoising alongside and only the sound of your blades. Most operators run small guided groups (often 10–16 paddlers) in stable double sea kayaks; previous experience is usually required for full programmes, while one-off "discover" sessions welcome beginners.
It is the most popular paid add-on on Antarctic voyages — typically US$200–1,000 depending on whether it is a single outing or an every-day programme — and places sell out months ahead. Book it with the cruise, not on board.
