Aurora Expeditions in Surry Hills, Sydney, NSW is categorized under Travel Agents.
From the start, Aurora Expeditions was destined to be different. Co-founders Greg and Margaret Mortimer had a passion for adventure, exploring wild places and sharing the experience with friends and in 1991, Aurora Expeditions, named in honour of Sir Douglas Mawson’s ship, was born.
Their aim was simple – to take small groups of travellers on voyages of discovery to regions that inspired them, thereby creating lifelong ambassadors for the preservation and protection of these sacred places. More than two decades later, that pioneering spirit burns just as brightly, as does our preference for small-group, personal expeditions.
At sea, all of our expeditions are on ships of 60-passengers or less. We are one of the only companies operating trips of this size. Less people means more solitude and greater flexibility if tides, currents, ice or weather dictate a schedule change. And because we have less people to ferry ashore, we often make more landings.
Our treks in Patagonia are limited to 14 expeditioners each. This ensures personal attention and a nice mix of people to share the adventure.
We make the most of our size advantage to create intimate expeditions varying in length from 10 to 26 days. Simply choose the region you’d like to explore, the amount of time you’ve got and what activities you enjoy. Focus on one destination or combine back-to-back trips for the ultimate adventure.
You’ll be accompanied by expedition staff we believe are the world’s best. Remote area specialists, their on-board lectures entertain and expand your knowledge.
Whether you’re joining us for the first time or returning for another thrilling adventure, our original goals remain unchanged. Explore wild places that stir the soul, offer personal attention on unforgettable expeditions and welcome new friends into the Aurora family.

“Unfortunately, I can only give 5 stars when I would like to give at least 10! Aurora organised our whole Antarctica trip including all flights & hotels & everything went to plan so smoothly & perfectly & stress free! We did the Polar Pioneer & it was well above any expectations.The staff & the crew on board were so friendly & amazing & each one was full of so much knowledge! The food also needs to get a mention as it was top restaurant quality & you would certainly never starve on this journey! Antarctica is a beautiful & magical place that needs to be seen to be believed. I would highly, highly recommend Aurora Expeditions to anyone looking at going!”
“Just had the most amazing incredible indescribable journey to Antarctica with Aurora! 10/10 for the staff and crew of Polar Pioneer, as well as the booking staff. Everything was absolutely perfect from start to finish. Would definitely travel Aurora again!”
“Amazing holiday and amazing staff. Going to Antarctica has been a dream for a long time, and Aurora helped it come true.”
“My South Georgia and Antarctic odyssey ended a few days ago. It was amazingly unbelievable and words will never be enough to describe the encounters experienced during my 18 days on the PP.
A huge thank you to the amazing crew who managed things perfectly, I’ll forever be grateful for those arms coming out to assist when hoping in and out of zodiacs, especially when disembarking at Cape Horne and hoping out of the water after the polar plunge. I was totally in awe of the wildlife at South Georgia and the beauty of Antartica….
Thanks Aurora for exceeding expectations, everything I wanted to see/do was ticked off my list: Walking on a berg, sighting leopard seals, orcas, whale sightings in zodiacs to mention a few.
I’d highly recommend this trip to anyone who is interested in visiting the polar regions.”
“Just back from our amazing trip to Antarctica. WOW! Awesome! This was the most incredible adventure we have ever taken. Thank you to Aurora Expeditions for making a dream come true, and much thanks to the wonderful crew who made our time full of excitement plus. This is an incredible place, and as we left I felt the magic seeping into my veins. Antarctica is now part of me, and I must return.”
