The Worlds Only All Kosher Antarctica Cruise – The 7th Continent

5-15 February 2029 TBC

Antarctica, often referred to as the 7th continent, the land at the end of the world, and the last to be discovered, is truly a realm of extremes.

The southernmost continent has long captivated the hearts of legendary explorers such as Shackleton, Scott, and Amundsen. Drawn by the allure of its mysterious and uncharted territories, these pioneers were driven by a deep desire for discovery, with some even sacrificing their lives in the pursuit of exploring the unknown.

Antarctica remains the most inhospitable terrain on Earth, yet it is precisely this ruggedness that exerts an irresistible allure for those who have ventured to explore nearly every corner of the globe.

We invite you to embark on this extraordinary journey with us, to set foot on the last of the seven continents. This once-in-a-lifetime experience promises to be a defining moment, offering the rare opportunity to witness the unmatched beauty and awe-inspiring challenges of Antarctica up close.

ICELAND TOUR AUGUST 2022

I would like to say how delighted Rookie and I were to be on this trip with a group of intelligent and delightful people. We are all different. But unity in diversity is an important principle for Rookie and myself. This was a great group of people led by a wonderful guide. Besides seeing מעשה בראשית  in such a graphic way. Everyone added to the pleasure of the experience. The food was great. All of our new friends added character and each made their special contribution to our digestive systems and our brains.

 We also feel that Kosher Travelers (the Walles clan) promised and delivered a full program for nine 1/2 days. And there was wisdom in the way they did it. Flying instead of driving gave us two full extra days of the experience. שנזכה כולנו לשנים רבות נעימות וטובות. May this coming year be a שנת חיים ושלום

Dear David;

I just wanted to thank you for an absolutely amazingly wonderful India tour. Your ability to weave together a trip of eye-opening interest, educational intrigue and  adventurous expedition is unique and distinctive. Your attention to detail, administrative and organizational prowess and logistical coordination made the excursion as flawless as it was fabulous.

Your vigilance and professionalism are greatly appreciated and graciously accepted. 

We hope to, once again, join you in the future for yet another Kosher Travelers exploit.

I was also at Kosher Travelers in Rhodes. Great program. David and Chana Walles came over to each of us personally and introduced themselves on first day- they were extremely welcoming and accommodating. Food great and plentiful. Staff amazing. Good camp and entertainment. Beautiful hotel with nice grounds and stunning trails in the area. Very well organized luxury program. I would definitely book with Kosher Travelers again.

Fantastic videos Adina! And Rima thank you for taking all of us on the lava tunnel tour with you. From all the great photos it looks like the last 2 days were amazing. We appreciate and thank Kosher Travelers for an excellent and fun tour
It was so great to have adventures and learn Torah with everyone! I hope we meet again. Safe travels home.

Dear David and Chana,

I’ve been to Israel for Pesach with David Zwiebel & family dozens of times, in many cities and various hotels. I can say with confidence that this year’s chag at the Leonardo Plaza ranks with the very best experiences over the years. From the wait staff to the terrific Mark Salem it was a great Pesach and the variety and quality of the food excellent. Yasher koach.

Dear David and Chana,

I want to thank you both for orchestrating a totally amazing and completely successful Pesach prog at the Elysium , Rhodes.

We both felt highly motivated, involved and made many new friends.

I was analyzing why the  8 days was such an outrageous success and the following 5 points came to mind :

  1. The island of Rhodes is an idyllic location with its natural beauty and rich, though tragic, jewish history. There is simply so much to explore and see.
  2. The Elysium Hotel delivered a level of friendly and efficient service beyond our wildest expectation. The staff, in their entirety, could not be more helpful and pleasant to deal with. The position of the hotel is triple A, nestling right on  the warm Med and the rooms were so comfy.
  3. The cuisine was of the highest quality and a very big hashakoach to the kitchen staff and mashgichim.
  4. The details of the daily prog were a scientific work of art with something for everyone from 3 years to 80 ! The planning thereof was exceptional and, being an annal bean counter myself, I was highly impressed with the structure and content of the various activities.
  5. And finally, all the participants spoke English !! What a win. We could converse and get to know one another without the barrier of a foreign language. We met many new fascinating individuals and families  whom we’ll endeavour to remain in contact with in the year ahead.

So, all in all, a wonderful and unique experience and clearly a model you’ve created  which has been positively accepted and PG will grow from strength to strength  in the years to come.

Shabbat shalom and oncemore, toda raba from Leora and I.

Kind regards,

Michael Sternberg

Dear David and Chana,

Eric and I wanted to thank you for running a wonderful Chanuka 2022 trip to Dubai. This is the first time that we have joined an organized tour and can say that we were really amazed with how seamless it was. From the initial contact to the final goodbye everything was easy and pleasant. All we had to do was show up and things were taken care of for us. We did not have to plan any meals, any hotel arrangements or worry about where to catch a minyan or light chanukah candles. Throughout the trip David and Chana were accessible, friendly and very well organized. We love being on time and were really astounded that David was somehow able to make sure that the time we were scheduled to leave actually happened. The fact that the trip was so well organized allowed us to have a jam packed day every day and left us simultaneously exhausted and energized for the next day. We loved the diversity of the group and enjoyed the culture of inclusivity that David and Chana created. We were able to join together with Jews at various religious levels from all over the world. The food was not just good-it was great! The daily trips were fun, informative and educational. We look forward to joining you again in the future!

David, Chana, Shelley and the whole staff.

I wanted to say a huge thank you to all of you. 

The Pesach program in Rhodes was superb, outstanding, perfect without a glitch. Your responsiveness was incredible and attention to detail unparalleled. You spared no costs in pleasing everyone and went above and beyond. 

Thank you for an inpeccable experience. I can’t say enough good. 

Many thanks,
