Love wildlife? Can’t get enough of nature? We've picked out some of the best places to plan a vacation where the landscapes are second to none and home to some amazing plants and animals...
Southern & Eastern Coast of Africa (Tour / Cruise)
South Africa, Kenya, Tanzania, and more, the Eastern coast of Africa is home to the continent’s most iconic species, including the ‘big 5’ (elephants, leopards, lions, rhino, buffalo). Plan safari-style tours for an in-depth look at one country, or cruise the coast for a variety of landscapes, which may include a stop in Madagascar!
Galapagos Islands (Cruise)
Visit the islands where Darwin once observed the same stunning array of life, from quirky blue-footed boobies, to sea lions, tortoises, dolphins, and more. Cruise with wildlife experts and learn about the evolution of the islands’ biodiversity and steps being taken to protect the endemic species that are found nowhere else on earth.
Alaska (Cruise)
Dubbed the ‘last frontier’, Alaska is a nature-lovers dream where wildlife still reigns supreme. Grizzly and black bears, bald eagles, caribou, moose, and more roam the landscapes of Denali while whales make their migration to the cool waters off glacial coasts. Cruises only go to the state during the late Spring through Summer months, which is the perfect time to take advantage of the region’s long hours of daylight.
Hawaii (Resort / Cruise)
Discover a world of pure magic below the surface of the water off the coasts of the Hawaiian Islands. Aside from swimming with colorful fish and gentle sea turtles, or catching a pod of humpback whales in the Winter season, find an enchanting array of flora and fauna on shore across tropical and volcanic landscapes. Whether planning a resort stay or a cruise, you’ll get the perfect balance of relaxation and adventure.
National Parks (Tour)
Yosemite, Yellowstone, Glacier National Park, the Grand Canyon, the Everglades – there is no shortage of jaw-dropping landscapes to explore right here in the United States, all of which are home to a unique set of plants and wildlife. You can’t make a bad choice, so pick a park and make arrangements for an expert-led tour!
