Experience two enriching and immersive adventures beginning with an exclusive, behind-the-scenes tour of the Royal New Zealand Air Force Museum. Showcasing historic aircraft, the museum boasts the world's only Vickers Vildebeest biplane, aviation barracks dating back to World War I, rare military uniforms and medals, and recent restoration projects. Your guided tour enhances the experience by discussing the life and times of the people behind the planes. Your next excursion takes you to the South Pole at the International Antarctic Center. Here, hands-on exhibits, video presentations, laser holograms, and stereo sound bring the frozen continent to life. Ride the Hagglund snow cat, witness the aurora Australis, and observe life in a penguin rookery. The 4D EXTREME "Ice Voyage" film is a virtual cruise to Antarctica with unexpected excitement and adventure that truly puts you in the middle of Antarctic waters without leaving the comfort of your seat.

Special Notes:

Tour involves approximately three hours of moderate walking/standing over mostly flat surfaces. Other interactive activities are at the guests' discretion. Guests must be over 120cm tall to ride the Antarctic vehicle Hagglund.
