Presenter: Trevor Cochrane

Trevor experiences the thrill of kayaking among Antarctica's stunning icebergs and wildlife.

• While the Viking Octantis provides an extraordinary voyage, the true allure lies in experiencing the breathtaking beauty of this unique part of the world, making it a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
• A fleet of 16 two-seater kayaks is available on board both Viking Expedition ships, offering guests the chance to explore the stunning Antarctic landscape from the water.
• Viking's kayaks are designed for superb stability and ease of operation, featuring innovative reciprocating pedals that power underwater fins, allowing kayakers to take photos or use binoculars while paddling.
• Kayak in Dorian Bay along the Palmer Archipelago, where every direction reveals awe-inspiring views of the pristine surroundings. The journey is led by a knowledgeable guide, ensuring a safe and enjoyable adventure.
• The kayaks are remarkably easy to maneuver, cutting smoothly through the water without the need for a rudder, and their low center of gravity enhances stability, making them safe and easy to enter and exit.
• During the winter, the amount of sea ice doubles, effectively increasing the continent's size, while summer melting creates perfect conditions for excursions like this.
• Kayaking in Antarctica is a mesmerizing experience, allowing for silent paddling amidst icebergs and glaciers, where the surreal stillness enhances the adventure and connection to the untouched beauty of the southern wilderness, all thanks to Viking.
