What to see during the Shoulder Season

Each month has its own special highlights, so choose your departure date with these possibilities in mind.


November (late spring – early summer)
Undoubtedly the most adventurous and, in some ways, the most awe-inspiring time to visit.

Huge volumes of ice and pristine snow
incredible courtship displays in the penguin rookeries (including nest building and stone stealing)


February – March (late summer)
The weather is still good and the wildlife active but, most importantly; this is the best whale watching of the season.


ice allows exploration further south along the Antarctic Peninsula


Best whale watching of the season
penguin rookeries at their busiest, with the adult birds fetching krill. and feeding their chicks

Penguin chicks begin to fledge late February/early March
