Trek to The South Pole

Antarctica is possibly the most remote and unique environment on earth and now you have the opportunity to participate in the adventure experience of a lifetime! Join us on a epic ski traverse all the way across the continent to the South Pole!

The team will meet in Punta Arenas on the southern tip of Chile. From here we utilise an Ilyushin 76 aircraft to gain access to a blue ice runway on the Antarctic continent, a flight of around four hours.

This landing site is known as Patriot Hills, is situated at 80 degrees south, and is the Antarctic base for our expedition. After final preparations are completed the group is shuttled from Patriot Hills to the edge of the Antarctic Continent by ski equipped Twin Otter aircraft.

The plane departs and we are left to the silence of Antarctic and the huge task of walking the 1200km over the next two months to the South Pole! The first few days will be spent hauling smaller loads in our sleds as the first destination along the route is to retrace our flight path back to Patriot Hills.

Being en route to the Pole, Patriot Hills provides an ideal stopping place to re-supply and sort out any problems with equipment, which may arise in those first few days. Skis will be worn for the entirety of the expedition (with a few possible exceptions) which will be the telemark type with 'skins' on the base for traction.

We share tents and the chores of cooking. The coldest part of the day will be in the breakdown of the camp. Each day we will move for (5 to) 8 to 10 hours with regular rests for food and fluid intake.

After visiting Patriot Hills camp for the second time, we begin the trek in earnest. We will carry provisions on our sleds to last us until we arrive at our pre-placed supply cache approximately 38 days into the journey.

The cache will be placed (by) along the route on a specially chartered flight and will sustain us for the final leg to the South Pole.

Navigation will be accomplished using GPS navigation equipment.

NOT INCLUDED: Air travel to and accomodation in Punta Arenas, visas and airport fees, personal insurance, cost of any rescue, personal clothing, boots, sleeping gear and skis.

Romantic Retreat For Two

Arriving mid week, this romantic retreat package includes 2 nights accommodation in a private sandstone cottage, bottle of champagne, hot and cold breakfast basket, port and chocolates, fruit and cheese platter, 2 course gourmet meal prepared especially for you, massage for two, use of designer bathrobes, silverware, candles and the cottage decorated with flowers. Everything you need for a perfect break.

Winery & Vineyard Gourmet Break For Two

Arriving in Orange you will check into your accommodation before taking the short (15 minute) drive to Canobolas-Smith Wines. Here your vineyard and winery experience will really begin.

You will be taken on a brief tour of the vineyard and given an introduction to cool climate viticulture – look at vine varieties, pruning styles and the pursuit of excellence on the 20 acre vineyard. Moving to the Canobolas-Smith Winery, winemaker Murray Smith (or assistant winemaker Justin Byrne) will walk you through the winemaking process.

Learn about crushing, pressing, fermenting, barrel aging and other winemaking techniques. Taste for yourself the difference between a barrel fermented wine and a tank fermented wine. Learn about the impact of oak – is French oak different to American oak? Taste for yourself.

The winemaking elements of this part of the experience can be tailored to the level of technical interest. Round off the experience with a tasting of selected wines from the Cellar Door.

You won’t leave a winemaker but you will have a good understanding of the winemaking process – from vine to wine at a friendly, informative, quality focused winery.

Driving back to town you can take in some sights or simply return to your quality accommodation before dinner at Selkirk’s Restaurant – a special dining experience matched with Canobolas-Smith wines.
