  HELI–LANDING  ($ extra)

You will be transferred from Ultramarine’s heli–decks via our twin–engine helicopters to a pre–selected Arctic destination. You’ll have time to explore the location, accompanied by Quark Expeditions team members, after which you’ll be picked up by the helicopters at the same location. Note: heli–landings are dependent on weather conditions and logistics. 

INCLUDED | ONLY AVAILABLE ONBOARD ULTRAMARINE

SEA KAYAKING ($Extra)

Imagine gliding across the surface of a bay in the presence of icebergs and glaciers. Our Sea Kayaking program is a great way to intimately explore your surroundings. A small group of kayakers will plan to go out multiple times per voyage as an alternative to shore landings or Zodiac cruises. 

POLAR PLUNGE 

This rite of passage, scheduled only once per voyage, gives you the chance to jump safely into the bracing Arctic waters under the watchful eye of our staff. 

INCLUDED

PADDLE EXCURSION 

Sign up for a one–time paddle on our stable sit–on–top kayaks— perfect for anyone with minimal or no kayaking experience. Rotating groups of passengers will be taken out on calm days with our expert guides. 

FLIGHTSEEING ON ULTRAMARINE
While polar landscapes are spectacular from the sea, they’re even more stunning from the air while seated in one of Ultramarine’s two twin–engine helicopters. You will experience an unforgettable aerial tour of the Arctic during a 10–to 15–minute flightseeing excursion that’s included in the voyage. Additional helicopter activities may also be available for purchase onboard. Please note: all helicopter operations are weather– and logistics–dependent.
