Visit the Museum

South Georgia is a remote island located in the South Atlantic only accessible by sea. There is no visitor accommodation ashore, therefore most people visit by cruise ship or yacht

The majority of visitors arrive at Grytviken on a cruise ship. Vessels make about 120 visits to the island each year, carrying around 15,000 passengers from all over the world. It is possible to charter a yacht from the Falkland Islands or South America or indeed to organise an expedition with its own support vessel.

A Visitor’s Guide

The Government of South Georgia & the South Sandwich Islands (GSGSSI) has launched a new visitor film, narrated by Sir David Attenborough, that tells the story of a global rarity – an eco-system in recovery. You can view it below.
