Vast colonies of penguins, hundreds of whales, seals, countless seabirds, and massive glaciers in deep shades of blue — all await you on our journey to the seventh continent.
Antarctica has always captured the imagination of humankind and the world’s great explorers: from Shackleton to Scott and Amundsen. All were drawn to the allure of the unknown — conquering the southernmost edge of the world, with some even giving their lives for the cause.
We invite you on a once-in-a-lifetime adventure to explore the most extraordinary continent on Earth. With the expert guidance of the PhotoTeva team, you’ll return home with the best possible experiences and memories.
All the photos on this page were taken during our Antarctic expeditions.

A special charter flight from Punta Arenas, Chile, directly to King George Island in Antarctica, saving us days of sailing through the roughest seas in the world.
The Eldorado expedition yacht is exactly what you’ve been looking for if you dream of experiencing Antarctica from a different perspective — personal, quiet, and truly close to nature. Built in the Netherlands specifically for polar voyages, it offers a unique sailing experience designed for small groups only — up to 11 travelers.
Thanks to its intimate size, Eldorado provides access to sites unreachable by larger vessels, while offering the warm feeling of home even in the heart of the ice. Each cabin is fully equipped for comfort. In the shared spaces, you’ll enjoy a cozy lounge, bar, family-style dining area, and open views in every direction — no noise, no screens, just you, the sea, and the polar wilderness.
This is not just a cruise. It’s an adventure in every sense of the word — serene, authentic, and deeply moving. Exactly the way the edge of the world should be discovered.
Our package includes a direct flight from Chile to Antarctica — flying over the notorious Drake Passage.
Fortunately, there’s no need for you to experience the infamous Drake Passage yourself, with its towering waves and stormy seas. Instead of spending two and a half days each way crossing it — wasting precious time and energy — we simply fly over in a smooth two-hour chartered flight arranged exclusively for our expedition.
Upon landing at King George Island, Our Yacht – Eldorado, will be waiting nearby. After a short walk, we’ll board Zodiacs that will take us straight to the vessel — our cozy home for the duration of this magical Antarctic journey.
Quality. Expertise. An Uncompromising Experience.
We are one of the most experienced and trusted companies specializing in Antarctic expeditions, with years of leadership in the field.
Our journeys are carefully crafted, led by world-class guides, and backed by extensive hands-on experience.
Our small expedition vessel provides greater access to landing sites, fewer restrictions, and more than double the time ashore. That means you’ll see more, photograph more, and experience Antarctica up close and personal.
What’s Special About the Season of Our Journey?
This is the time when nature is at its peak — with extraordinary moments that can only be seen once a year:
This is your chance to embark on a truly exceptional journey — at exactly the right time.
Meet at our hotel in Punta Arenas by 2:00 pm. In the afternoon, we’ll gather for an important orientation and introduction to the expedition. In the evening, enjoy a warm welcome dinner of traditional Chilean cuisine together with your fellow travelers and guides.
Overnight in Punta Arenas.
Take a two-hour flight from Punta Arenas to King George Island, Antarctica. After landing, a short 2 km walk past Chile’s Frei Station leads us to the shore, where Zodiacs will transfer us to our boutique expedition vessel. We’ll immediately begin sailing south toward the peninsula, so that by morning we arrive at our first landing site.
Cruise along the western Antarctic Peninsula, exploring breathtaking landscapes, glaciers, icebergs, and extraordinary wildlife. Each day includes Zodiac landings with expert guides, reaching the best sites at the best times of day. Onboard, enjoy educational lectures, presentations, and inspiring discussions. With our special research permits and the flexibility of a small vessel, we’ll access more locations and experience far more than larger ships allow.
Sail back to King George Island, where we’ll bid Antarctica farewell and take our flight back to Punta Arenas. Upon arrival, transfer to your hotel for a final overnight stay.
After breakfast, transfer to Punta Arenas airport for your international flight home—or continue exploring southern Chile and Tierra del Fuego.
