Nat Hab’s Maine Coastal Explorer tour takes travelers on an idyllic journey from Bangor to Acadia National Park. Here are five highlights visitors will experience during their stay on Mount Desert Island, the largest of Maine’s 4,600 coastal islands.
Canada & the North
One of the highlights of our Whales & Nature Trails of Quebec adventure? The opportunity to hike in four diverse national parks: Saguenay Fjord, Hautes-Gorges-de-la-Riviere-Malbaie, Grands-Jardins and Jacques-Cartier. Exploring these different regions by foot, you’ll pass through glacial valleys and stop to admire dramatic mountains and gorges.
Latin America

Our relationship with forest fires is complicated. Beginning in 1947, one of the world’s most recognizable characters and one of our nation’s most beloved spokespeople, Smokey Bear, told us that “only you can prevent forest fires.” (That slogan was changed to “Only you can prevent wildfires” in 2001.)
African Safaris
NOTE FROM ED: Looks like this was started but never finished. Looks like it could be ready to go with a little formatting. When planning hiking trips, people in many parts of the world tend to forget about African destinations.
Europe
When imagining hiking in Europe, images of the Matterhorn or the Dolomites may spring to mind. While absolutely beautiful with undoubtedly some of the best hiking views on the continent, treks around those parts may not hold the same undiscovered charm that they did a few decades ago.
Travel Tales
The ascent starts immediately. You stare up at the mountainside and know that the next few hours will be a strain and exertion on your legs and chest. The moist heat of Uganda’s Bwindi Impenetrable National Park is bearing down, laying a thick blanket of humidity on the nape of your neck.
Europe
The Swiss Alps are a region of untamed beauty, dramatic peaks rising above pastoral villages. This fairytale realm is filled with sapphire lakes, wildflower meadows and sparkling waterfalls. After a scenic railway journey on the historic Glacier Express, arrive in idyllic Zermatt.
Travel Tales
The human body was designed to walk. In fact, humans walk better than any other species on Earth. And very few things in our lives boost health, instill creativity and relieve stress more than taking a stroll. We also have an innate human need to communicate with each other by talking.

On New Year’s Day, rather than making resolutions, I have a better suggestion: go outside and take a walk. Or don’t take a walk, but just go outside. You don’t even have to be outdoors for long. Why?
Europe
Why join our journey through the Cotswolds? As a local, there is more than a little pride invested in this itinerary. I love the Cotswolds, and I want to show you the very best the region has to offer. As a minimum standard, I aimed for a trip that I knew my family would enjoy.
Travel Tips
When planning hiking adventures, people in many parts of the world tend to forget about African destinations. As the world’s second-largest continent, however, it should come as no surprise that some of the most incredible wilderness on the planet can be found there.
