What is needed during the hiking activity?

The following items are required during hikes:

  • Ankle high, sturdy hiking boots with good soles (sailing ships only)
  • Gaiters, preferably when wearing hiking boots (sailing ships only)
  • 25-liter rucksack (in the Arctic, a packed lunch may be brought along)
  • One-liter water bottle
  • Pee bottle for Antarctica (e.g., wide opening Nalgene bottle)

On our larger motor vessels, we will loan you sturdy rubber boots that also fit our snowshoes.
