Classic Antarctica Air-Cruise

Punta Arenas, perched at the edge of the world in Chilean Patagonia, is a windswept gateway to adventure—where colorful rooftops meet icy fjords and history whispers through the streets once trodden by explorers and fortune-seekers.

Landscape: A land that holds 90% of Earth´s ice, Antarctica stuns visitors with its awe-inspiring beauty.
Adventure: Feel the spray of seawater on your cheeks as you cruise in a Zodiac boat to shore.
Follow in the footsteps of early explorers as you hike on Antarctic soil.
Join our optional Sea Kayaking and Hiking & Snowshoeing programs.
Wildlife: Penguins, whales, seals, and seabirds congregate in Antarctica and South Georgia during the austral summer.
Memories: Setting foot on the seventh continent is a privilege and an honor.

REVIEW №1- Shamali De Vaz
Dear Anna, Alexandra, Iona and the rest of the team at Ada Tours
Feed-back from a happy, satisfied customer!
A very big thank you for your very efficient services, Hospitality and most importantly your patience throughout the tour of my client. Dr. Chrysantha Mendis is very happy with the entire Tour. You did a fantastic job by organizing a detailed tour package covering 7 countries, Venezuela, Ecuador, Bolivia, Chile, Peru, Argentina, and Brazil. Dr. Mendis has enjoyed all the countries though he could not do a few tours in Peru which is understandable due to political unrest. We will recommend Ada Tours to all our clients in Sri Lanka and will start promoting your tours in our website.
Best wishes and kind regards,
Shamali

REVIEW №5- Matt, Adventurebug Worldwide Ltd.
Everything went really well. As always we had to make some adjustments and the local guide and team on the ground were very responsive and took action professionally. I have no complaints about this :)
The clients were very pleased with the tour and all arrangements.
Changing the few meals at the end on Isabela was not an issue and the local team did a good job organizing this for me.

Many thanks again Ana!
