Our Impact Report

Swoop is here to give our customers transformative experiences at the ends of the Earth, exploring Antarctica's pristine wilderness. 

Our Impact Report underscores the importance of preserving this fragile ecosystem and highlights how we strive to minimise our impact. We aim to inspire our customers and partners to join us in protecting these extraordinary places for generations to come.

Every year, we report our impact in four priority areas so that we focus our time, resources and creativity on the areas where we can make the biggest difference. Our sustainability priorities are designed to address both the significant impacts of tourism and our unique ability to drive positive change.

Travelling Better

We firmly believe in the power of travel as a force for good, and because of this, we work closely with our partners to ensure our trips have the most positive impact they can. 

Swoop's true success isn't just measured by the experiences we offer our customers, but also by helping them become ambassadors for change, both in our destinations and at home. We aim to give our travellers the tools they need to travel better during their time with us and beyond.

The Swoop Conservation Fund

Swoop and our travellers can play an important role in helping our destinations flourish. With this in mind, we created the Swoop Conservation Fund to allow us to financially support non-profit organisations that make significant positive impacts in the destinations we visit.

We’ve chosen organisations that support our values working in Antarctica and Patagonia, who are working in conservation, science, biodiversity and the long term removal of CO₂ from the atmosphere.

Swoop is proud to be a B Corp

In 2023, Swoop became the only B Corp certified Antarctic travel specialist. By doing so, we joined a global movement of businesses that are committed to people and the planet, putting our social and environmental responsibilities at the core of our business.

Becoming a B Corp required Swoop to be comprehensively audited across our entire organisation and measured against pillars of business sustainability.

Our B Corp status is our promise that your adventures contribute to a more sustainable future for our destinations.

Janette Giddings - USA

You come home looking at nature vastly different, appreciate the outdoors more and get outside for some quiet time more often. You also know how hard those expedition teams work to protect and mind somewhere as special as Antarctica and makes you want to protect it too, even from far away. Read the full review

One of the highlights was witnessing the exceptional management of the ship. At first glance, the regulations may seem strict, but upon closer consideration, they reflect a deep level of care—both in ensuring preparedness and in sharing fascinating knowledge about Antarctica. This added richness to the journey, making it not just a trip but an opportunity to truly understand the environment. Read the full review

I liked the conscientious way that the staff encouraged us to understand the impacts of climate change and other threats to wildlife, but in a way that motivates us to take action (instead of despairing). Read the full review
