Kayaking through the endless rivers and beautiful marshes of the Lowcountry is undeniably part of Southern life. Now, imagine your kayaking experience has headed further south — way south — to the continent of Antarctica.
Local Travel Advisor Susie McMahon, owner of Luxe Lowcountry Travel, calls traveling to the continent of Antarctica a “bucket list” experience. And close to nothing, she says, can compare to the day when a humpback whale breached the tranquil waters near her kayak during her Aurora Expedition Antarctica travel experience earlier this year.
“Just to get to see that part of our world is an emotional experience in itself, but to be kayaking so close to a humpback whale that I could see its blow hole open and close and smell its stinky breath…well, let’s just say it’s hard to surpass that experience!”
This was just one expedition of many that were part of a life-changing travel experience aboard the Greg Mortimer, a 132-passenger (Ice Class 6) ship hosted by Aurora Expeditions, an Australian-based company with 30 years’ experience traveling to the continent.
Now doing business in the United States, Aurora Expeditions is happy to partner with Luxe Lowcountry Travel to offer a once-in-a-lifetime trip to Earth’s southern-most continent where travel once had been reserved only for explorers or the scientific community.
Jennifer Reynolds, Aurora’s business development manager for the US Southeast market and an Antarctic Ambassador who has visited the continent five times, says that this unique travel experience is attracting multigenerational families, young adults, and well-traveled seniors looking to check-off their “final continent” on their travel logs.
