So you're a backpacker and you want to go to Antarctica but you have heard it is expensive right? Well yes but put your mind to it and you can do it. In fact this article is about to reveal the cheapest way you can get to Antarctica without working on a ship! []
To book my trip to Antarctica I saved and saved. I worked endlessly in broccoli farms to be able to afford the trip. 12 hours a day and 7 days a week working on farms in the middle of nowhere - do that and you'll have no problem saving money and booking a trip to Antarctica. My trip cost me around $5,000 Australian Dollars and that was a special offer but that is actually NOT the way to book it on the cheap - I booked my trip in advance.
What's the tip for a cheap trip to Antarctica?
Bear in mind this is a tip for travellers and backpackers only - not for workers or scientists etc. Waiters, barmen, captains and expedition staff can of course all go to Antarctica and work at the same time but you want to be doing it as a backpacker.
My advice - do NOT book anything in advance!
Yes if you want to get a really cheap deal to visit Antarctica you need to book it last minute. It's obvious that travel companies will sell all the rooms and bed for much more at the start so they can get the money in. Then at the end they are just trying to fill the empty beds. If you do book in advance I'd say the bare minimum you could possibly get it for is around $4,000. But hold on - if you want to get it cheaper don't book anything in advance. That's step number one.
Here is how to get a cheap Antarctica trip booked
OK now the nest step is easy - head to Ushuaia in Tierra del Fuego in October. It's on the south tip of Argentina and all the Antarctica trips leave from there. Spend a few days in the city itself - it's a great city to travel round. Keep your eyes open for special offers from the many travel agents on the main street. Then pop in and book your cheap trip to Antarctica! You could be leaving the very next day and for very cheap!
So the really good news is if you book a last minute deal to Antarctica in the city of Ushuaia you will get ir really cheap - as cheap as $3,000 US if you're lucky! An amazing deal that's a saving of around $2,000 US Dollars.
Here's how it works:
Most of the boats heading to the cold continent are not full - the empty beds need filled up and the company would rather get some money last minute for them than have them float away empty and that's how you do it. That's how and why you can easily book a cheap trip to Antarctica.
So the main advice here is you need to arrive in Ushuaia and get a cheap trip booked there and then just before one leaves. You'll only have to wait for a short number of days. Antarctica is a travellers dream and you can really cut your costs by following my tip. You will just love it!
That's it - sold - you are now heading to Antarctica on a cheap trip for the most incredible travel experience of your life. You will meet a load of other travellers, see penguins, roll in the snow and just have an epic time!
Don't forget to take warm clothes, a camera and your enthusiasm for travel. Everyone who has ever been to Antarctica has raved about it - there is no place on the planet like it. Safe travels!
