Antarctica Flights

About Us

Antarctica Sightseeing Flights is operated by Croydon Travel, in conjunction with Qantas. Croydon Travel and Qantas operated their first Antarctica flight in 1994. Since then we have operated 87 flights over Antarctica and have taken more than 30,000 people to experience the world's "last great wilderness".

Croydon Travel has been operating since 1971 in the suburb of Croydon (Victoria, Australia). Croydon Travel is owned and operated by Phil Asker, in conjunction with Australia's most reputable touring company, Australia Pacific Touring. Phil established Croydon Travel in the 70s and has grown the business from a small suburban travel agency to a highly regarded international tour operator that services travellers throughout Australia and overseas.
