Customer Testimonials

Jim and Sarah Sogi
Holualoa, HI
Antarctica 2013, 2015, 2016, 2018

“We have been on four Antarctic Ski Expeditions with Doug Stoup. He is an excellent leader and has a group of world class professional ski guides from around the world. There is no where on earth like Antarctica and Doug knows it better than anyone on earth.”


Kathleen Moore
Bend, OR
Antarctica 2022

“This was the most amazing, well organized, adventure cruise imaginable! This was an adventure that exceeded all my expectations. Such a remote, beautiful, pristine continent! There is no better way to experience it then putting on your skis and climbing around these ice peaks and skiing…. even some powder! Sometimes the penguins start to follow you up the slope! Cheers to Doug for figuring out how to do this safely in Antarctica! I believe there is no better way to experience the 7th continent!”


Aurelia Balkanski
Woodside, CA
Antarctica 2018

“I am an 18 year old soon-to-be college student currently on my gap year. I have always loved traveling, but visiting Antarctica was something altogether different. It was the excitement and beauty of experiencing a new place mixed in with unforgettable people and the opportunity to explore the continent in my absolute favorite way of travel in the world . . . snowboarding!!

I always want to strive for more and push myself to do cooler, crazier things, but this trip taught me at a young age what it feels like to have a dream come true. It was everything I could have wished for and more.”


Nazli Kfoury
Boston, MA
Antarctica 2022

“This trip exceeded my VERY high expectations in every way. From the people, the vibe, the guides, the camaraderie to the fresh snow, the penguins and the ship. I thought it’d be life changing. It was life altering! Everyone should experience the Ice Axe community in Antarctica. It’s pure magic.”


Lisa Reeber
Jackson, WY
Antarctica 2018, 2022

“This trip is dedicated to skiing, and other activities on the continent. Ice Axe uses world class professional guides and has years of experience with this program. I have several friends that have been on this trip as clients and guides, and I had only heard amazing stories of previous trips. There was so much more than the skiing –- wildlife (could not get enough of the penguins!), icebergs, glaciers, and the non-stop scenery. The Ice Axe clients and guides are fascinating people from all over the world –- the stories and experiences of this group were endlessly entertaining.”


Nick Holmes-Smith
Chase, BC, Canada
Antarctica 2018

“My wife and I operate a cat skiing lodge called Mustang Powder in British Columbia, Canada and a friend and I organized a large group of skiers and sea kayakers to do this trip. The Ice Axe staff were all professional, courteous, helpful, and passionate about Antarctica and the expedition. It is hard to describe what is so special about Antarctica, but it is awe-inspiring and I highly recommend this trip!”


Geoff Isles
Ketchum, ID
Antarctica 2022

“I went into this with so so expectations. Thought it would be icy, with some corn snow. Thought I’d spend much of the time reading a book… Noooo!! My days were filled with skiing and learning. The Ice Axe staff was awesome. And the expedition staff were full of knowledge that they passed on during the briefings. Overall, I can’t imagine doing Antarctica any other way, or with any other group. This trip far exceeded my expectations.”


Preston Sargent
Ketchum, ID
Antarctica 2022

“The Ice Axe Antarctica Peninsula Ski trip was outstanding in all respects. The accommodations, food, and service were very good. The ship staff, including Zodiac drivers, scientists, historians, and geographers were absolutely great and added to the enjoyment of the trip appreciably. The Ice Axe ski touring Guides were extraordinary… knowledgeable, helpful, safety conscious, and extremely good at their craft. I’d do another ski tour expedition with any of them any time. And the guests/customers attracted to this Ice Axe adventure were really interesting and fun and engaging. The fellowship and “vibe” on board the ship were great.”


Robert DeLena
Sudbury, MA
Antarctica 2022

“Every adventure with Ice Axe Expeditions offers a life changing experience but none more than Antarctica. The beauty, the scale, and the chance to coexist with wildlife can only be done safely with the best guides on the planet. Ice Axe offers you that chance and the second you get home, you’ll start dreaming about returning.”


Dave Steiner
Park City, UT
Antarctica 2022

“Ice Axe Expeditions and this trip to Antarctica was not only an amazing experience but felt like it was flawlessly organized. The guides and Ice Axe staff were super accommodating from start to finish. I highly recommend this trip or any trips they execute.”
