In the Northland, a mosaic of habitats hosts extraordinary seasonal wildlife events. Humpback and gray whales make the world’s longest migrations up the Pacific Coast. Grizzly bears congregate in the salmon-rich rivers of Alaska and British Columbia. Seabirds nest in massive rookeries in Scotland’s Western Isles while seals bob among massive icebergs that drift off Greenland's crenellated coast. Our unique itineraries witness such events at intimate range, with interpretation from expert naturalists and personalized excursions not available to the standard tourist. You won’t find a more authentic way to experience the most rugged wilderness on the planet!
