Antarctic group tours for solo travellers

Travel solo as part of a group tour to Antarctica

Why travel solo to Antarctica?

New friendships and epic adventures in a frozen world where no permanent human inhabitants reside? Welcome to Antarctica – our most far-flung destination yet.

Very few travellers ever make it to Antarctica: the coldest, driest and most remote continent on earth. For those hardy enough to make the long journey south, the rewards are out of this world.

A solid landmass larger than the US, 98% of the continent is covered with thick ice, up to 4.5 kilometres deep (that’s half the height of Everest). Underneath, lies a vast hidden landscape of mountains, valleys and volcanoes carved by ancient rivers and frozen in time for millions of years. A mystery still being explored.

With temperatures plunging to −90°C, it’s an inhospitable environment for humans. Yet the pristine wilderness and plankton-rich waters make it one of the best wildlife-watching destinations in the world, from higher predators such as orcas and leopard seals to 18 species of penguin.

When you travel with Flash Pack, you’ll share the experience with a group of like-minded solo explorers, making an already incredible adventure that little bit extra special.
