You can now have a guided tour of Antarctica

Intrepid Travel partners with WWF Australia. - by Rebecca Lowrey Boyd
  • 27 Feb 2020

Intrepid Travel has teamed up with WWF-Australia to offer an 11-day expedition to Antarctica with a group of scientists. 

WATCH: Giant humpback whale saves diver from shark

WWF-Australia researchers will be conducting scientific research into Antarctica’s great whales and sharing it onboard Intrepid’s Ocean Endeavour voyages in 2021 and 2022. The new partnership will offer travellers a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to learn more about their work through a number of interactive experiences.

“Antarctica is one of the world’s last great wilderness areas. Our partnership with WWF-Australia supports marine scientists in their urgent work to understand more about whales, as well as providing our customers with the opportunity to support the long-term protection of this unique ecosystem,” says James Thornton, Intrepid Travel CEO. 

Penguins

The unique 11-day Giants of Antarctica expedition provides passengers with an unparalleled opportunity to discover Antarctica and its wildlife. Accompanied by WWF-Australia researchers, travellers will learn about whale migration, experience Zodiac excursions and see wildlife such as penguins, seals and more. Onboard activities include interactive presentations or relaxing in the spa. 

“We are at a critical moment for Antarctica and its precious wildlife. WWF-Australia and Intrepid Travel share a commitment to protecting the planet’s natural environments and the wildlife that call it home,” says Chris Johnson, WWF Antarctic Program Lead.

“This partnership will be imperative to the development of innovative whale research in the Southern Ocean, providing solutions to further protect these incredible animals for the future.” 

Seal

The Intrepid Foundation will support WWF-Australia’s Protecting Antarctic Giants project over the next two years with AUD $150,000. The data collected during the project will directly contribute to our understanding of Antarctica’s whale populations and to developing a conservation policy. 

Penguins in Antarctica

In addition to supporting WWF-Australia’s research efforts, Intrepid has doubled its carbon offset commitment for every customer travelling on the Ocean Endeavour vessel in the 2021 season, as well as investing in sustainable initiatives across the Antarctic region.

The Giants of the Antarctica voyages are the latest in Intrepid Travel’s efforts to protect the environment.
