On our voyage through Patagonia, Earth’s most dramatic corner, there are several optional excursions you may add on.
Early pre-booking is recommended for all optional activities, as spaces fill quickly.
Heli Landing – $995 USD per person
Your cruise already includes a short 10-15 flightseeing experience. However, those who want some extra adventure in the sky have a fantastic option!
With a small group of fellow passengers and expert guides, you’ll board one of Ultramarine’s two twin-engine helicopters to soar off to an exclusive site where no ships can navigate. Expect stunning bird’s-eye views during your flight, and then, upon arrival, simply sit back, relax, and take in the splendor of Patagonia from “the best seat in the house”: glacial amphitheaters, breathtaking summits, and tons more.
Traveling in groups of 12 with no more than 4 groups (48 guests) at a time, you’ll have time to relax and quietly reflect on the beauty of your remote surroundings, after which you’ll be picked up by the helicopters in the same location and returned to Ultramarine. Each heli-landing experience is uniquely curated by the expedition team, taking conditions, regulations, and location capacity into consideration.
Paddling – $395 USD per person
If you’d like to try something a bit more entry-level than Sea Kayaking, you’re the perfect candidate to sign up for a one-time paddle on our stable sit-on-top kayaks—perfect for anyone with minimal or no kayaking experience. Small groups of passengers will be taken out on a calm day with expert guides always present to provide instruction and help you connect with the polar sea.
Stand Up Paddle Board – $295 USD per person
Combining a surfboard with a kayak, stand-up paddleboarding will give you a very personal and unique perspective on Patagonia. The excursion is conducted in calm bays and harbors, in good weather conditions—and accompanied by a safety Zodiac.
Sea Kayaking – $1,995 USD per person
The Sea Kayaking program is a great way to explore your surroundings intimately. A small group of kayakers will plan to go out multiple times per voyage as an alternative to shore landings or Zodiac cruises. The number of opportunities to kayak is weather-dependent and will be conducted only during calm conditions. Prior kayaking experience is required, and you must be able to do a wet exit to participate. Beginners interested in kayaking should consider participating in the Paddling Excursion.
