That's where we come in.

As a specialist polar agency made up entirely of current and former guides, we can help you choose your perfect expedition and manage your booking with only the most reputable polar tour operators.

Polar-tried, polar-tested, Polar Tracks

Our small team of current and former guides have led expeditions to both polar regions for over a decade. We have worked for many operators on dozens of ships ranging from 12 to 200 passengers, across all itineraries in every region of the Arctic and Antarctic.

Our Intrepid Explorers

Discovering Polar Tracks as sage counsel for my first Antarctic expedition saved me time and provided confidence in the process. I thoroughly enjoyed the smaller ship experience and the wealth of opportunity to learn and experience this very special place on our planet.

I usually do not use a travel agent but the cost of the expedition was no greater than booking direct with the operator. Additionally, Polar Tracks expertise was invaluable as they are all polar guides and have a deep knowledge of the regions that cannot be attained elsewhere. Their expertise, prompt and considered advice, exemplary organisation, and endless patience with questions were truly appreciated.

I felt sceptical paying large sums so in advance of the journey, but Lauren has been simply fantastic. She answered any sort of question, anytime. she supported us when we had issues on the way to Ushuaia (flight cancellations and loss of luggages) and I would recommend her and Polar Tracks Expeditions anytime. In 40 years of travels never felt so well supported . Thank you!

In my opinion, there is nothing that can adequately prepare a person for the experience of being in Antarctica. It is an incredible location to explore. However, Polar Tracks Expeditions will do everything in their power to lend a hand in getting you ready for your journey and advising you on how to make it the most enjoyable experience possible. Make your reservation right away because Antarctica and the staff at Polar Tracks will not let you down.

Polar Tracks does a great job of finding you the trip of your dreams and I highly recommend Erin as your consultant! Erin’s insight and tips were life-savers for us and we had a mostly seamless travel experience to Antarctica thanks to her help. It’s a great group of former and current guides who have been there and really know how to prepare you for a polar trip like this. A+.

Antarctica had been on the top of my bucket list for over 30 years, but as an older solo female traveller, it seemed unachievable. Polar Tracks was able to patiently guide me through the process of choosing the right trip, answering my interminable questions and dispelling my concerns, providing practical first hand information from their years of guiding experience. It was one of the most incredible experiences of my life. Thank you!
