Stand Up Paddle Boarding in Antarctica
Stand Up Paddle Boarding, or SUPing combines the immersive experience of kayaking but in a standing position. Participants, if they prefer, can kneel, sit or even lie down and stare up at the azure Antarctic sky. Because of their wide base and tail fins, SUP boards are quite stable, enabling participants – after a bit of practice – to stop staring at their feet and admire the surrounding scenery. Imagine seeing Gentoo penguins gliding below you, or making eye contact with a Weddell seal lying on a piece of ice as you paddle by.
Guests receive on-ship and on-water instruction from a qualified SUP guide. In addition, a safety driver (in a Zodiac) stays within range to offer assistance.
Previous experience isn’t necessary but comfortability with water is an asset. SUP’ing adventures are offered in protected bays and channels during calm weather conditions.
You will be provided with all of the gear required to participate and be fitted with a drysuit , waterproof booties and gloves.
Please note: SUPing may be available to pre book or for booking onboard your expedition ship. We suggest pre booking if avaialble to avoid disappointment. SUP excursions are dependent on a number of factors including weather, wind and regulations and if you are not able to participate in a pre paid and booked activity you will be refunded by the cruise operator for these reasons.
