ANTARCTIC GUIDED TOURS FOR ONE WEEK ONLY IN JUNE!
The International Antarctic Centre will be operating a bit differently from Monday, 24th June to Sunday, 30th June 2024.
For one week only, we are excited to be running Antarctic Guided Tours and all general admission tickets will be 50% off. All visitors, including our Ambassador Club members must pre-book their tickets to visit the International Antarctic Centre. This is a unique opportunity to get an in-depth experience and insight into the Antarctic environment and the research conducted on the ice, led by one of our knowledgeable Antarctic Guides.
Tour Details:
- Duration: 1 hour 40 minutes. Visitors must arrive 20 minutes before the tour.
- Frequency: Tours depart every 20 minutes, starting on the hour, from 9am until our last tour at 3pm. Please note the 2.40pm and 3pm tours will not include a Hägglund ride.
- Dates: Monday, 24th June – Sunday, 30th June 2024
Tours will be fully guided around the Centre, meaning you will need to stay with your designated tour group and your Antarctic Guide for the duration of your visit. Please note tours are in English only.
Spaces are limited for each tour, so we encourage you to book early!
We hope you take advantage of this unique opportunity to participate in our Antarctic Guided Tours during the last week of June.
