Summer Escapes

where can you go?

Summer is nearly here—have you planned your vacation? There's still plenty of time to adventure this summer with INCA. We have departures almost every week between now and September to Alaska, Galapagos Islands and Peru. Call today! 1.510.420.1550.

Wilderness and natural history yacht-based adventures can be perfect for you this summer. Alaska and Galapagos Islands are popular destinations—both offer a respite from hot or humid weather, both accommodate the less-active and the adventurous, both deliver once-in-a-lifetime wildlife experiences.

Home to some of the greatest human civilizations in history and some of the world's most diverse landscapes, Peru is a land of impressive variety and contrasts. Our Peru adventures combine the best of Peru's famous highlights with some of the less well-known, yet fascinating sites and places.

Antarctica 2014

a special adventure with guide Richard Polatty

Gentoo Penguins on the Antarctic Peninsula

Join naturalist and guide extraordinaire Richard Polatty in Antarctica February 2 - February 25, 2014 on our Falklands, South Georgia and Antarctic Peninsula adventure aboard the Akademik Sergey Vavilov.

Many of you may know Richard from the Galápagos Islands where he has been INCA's lead naturalist for decades. Additionally, he has guided many INCA Antarctic adventures and knows the territory well—he is a veteran of more than 55 visits to the "White Continent"—and he brings his remarkable guiding talent to this INCA adventure in Antarctica.

Our adventure follows the routes of great explorers to the Antarctic Peninsula. You'll visit the Falkland Islands, South Georgia Island, the Orkney Islands, Elephant Island (weather permitting), the South Shetland Islands, and the Antarctic Peninsula. Sea kayaking is an option.

Space is limited to 16 INCA travelers so those of you who have been waiting for Richard to lead an Antarctica trip may wish to respond right away.

Richard has graciously answered a few interview questions about his inspirations and thoughts on Antarctica and this adventure. Read an interview with Richard!

Give us a call today at 510-420-1550 or send us an e-mail to adventure@inca1.com with any questions or to reserve your space.
