Once-in-a-lifetime Antarctic adventure 2025/2026

This was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience and an absolute dream come true. Thanks to my wonderful partner, I had the chance to join an incredible group of diverse, nature-loving, slightly crazy people who will stay in my memories forever — and who knows, maybe I’ll meet some of them again someday!
Huge thanks to Matt & Angela, the owners, and Peter, our guide, who had everything under control at all times. Not once did we feel unsafe. Because of them, we skied on top of glaciers with breathtaking views, kayaked through crystal-clear turquoise waters between icebergs of enormous size and unbelievable shapes — each one completely unique.
We were surrounded by thousands of penguins everywhere: on land during ski tours, in the ocean while kayaking, and while navigating through the Antarctic Peninsula aboard the wonderful ship Tolkien J.R. Whales followed us, seals lounged lazily on icebergs without a care in the world, and the water shimmered in a turquoise blue I’d only ever seen before in the Caribbean — except this time, it was Antarctica.

A massive thank-you to the entire crew who kept us safe, warm, on course, and unbelievably well fed. The chef deserves special mention — the food he created in that tiny kitchen, on a constantly moving sea, still amazes me.

This unforgettable expedition wouldn’t have been the same without the amazing people who joined it. I will always remember each and every one of you.

Special thanks:
• Matt — for staying cool when we lost our kayak 😁
• Angela — for your endless energy and that wonderful smile – WALK 🫡
• Peter — for keeping us safe while exploring untouched terrain 🔝
• Steve — for the incredible photos 📷

What a great way to experience Antarctica. Definitely the most adventurous and fun trip I have ever been on with my partner Kelly. Matt, Ang and Pete were very professional and so much fun to hang out with! They created the best possible environment for back country skiing and kayaking, polar ice plunge and all other events!!!

Would highly recommend Engineering Expedition!!!

Raja Ampat Kayaking Homestay Nov 24 Raja Ampat kayaking homestay trip with Expedition Engineering was simply incredible. Matt and Ange were amazing guides, showing us places we would never have found on our own and our local guide Benny exposed us to local/cultural aspects/traditions that we would never have experienced on our own. I’ve never seen such healthy marine life and combined with stunning beaches, and lovely weather, it was a trip I will never forget. I’m already looking at what trip I can book next with Expedition Engineering.

Unique skiing with great company Skiing in East Greenland with Matt and Ang was a really unique and exciting adventure. Great skiing on corn snow surrounded by miles of sheet ice, imposing landscapes, and not a single other ski group. Some days we skinned directly from the house, some days we dog-sledded, and others by boat. Matt and Ang are incredible guides, hosts, and people and have a knack for making sure that you get the perfect mix of great skiing, cultural experience, and some laughs. Would highly recommend the trip to anyone who likes new ski experiences.

Matt and Angela are two legends. We’ve been on two trips with Expedition Engineering – Svalbard ski touring and kayaking in Raja Ampat. From the Arctic to the tropics, the adventures they put together are marvellous, their travelling and guiding style is both professional yet super friendly. I’d follow them blindly anywhere else they choose to have a trip on the planet. Till next time !!

Raja Ampat with Matt Raja Ampat is a nature gem and expedition engineering the perfect compass to navigate it. The place itself is incredible, from life below water to the kindness of it’s inhabitants. Matt and Angela are the best guides we ever had, I would follow them blindly anywhere. We did the kayak – home stay trip which is a marvellous adventure I would recommend to anyone.
