Galapagos of the Southern Ocean - Cruise the Subantarctic Islands of New Zealand and Australia

SUBANTARCTIC ISLANDS CRUISE

Get ready to explore the biodiverse region nicknamed the Galapagos of the Southern Ocean on a Sub-Antarctic Expedition Cruise.

This is, without doubt, one of the most inspirational and informative journeys or expeditions into the Southern Ocean ecosystem that one can make anywhere in the world. Long recognized for its rich biodiversity, lying to the south of New Zealand are UNESCO World Heritage sites.

This places them in a select group of only 180 natural sites that have been designated as ‘the most important and significant natural habitats’ on the planet. They are also afforded the highest conservation status and protection by the Australian and New Zealand governments, and access to these islands is by permit only. On this expedition, we offer you the unique chance to explore, photograph and understand these wonderful places in the company of some of the most knowledgeable and passionate guides.

Our voyage’s name, Galapagos of the Southern Ocean, reflects the astounding natural biodiversity and the importance of these islands as a wildlife refuge. The islands all lie in the cool temperate zone with a unique climate and are home to a vast array of wildlife, including albatross, penguins, petrels, prions, shearwaters, and marine mammals like sea lions, fur seals and elephant seals.

Okavango Delta Safari - Botswana wildlife Safari

ULTIMATE BOTSWANA SAFARI

This is the Ultimate Botswana Safari from the Kwando Concession to the Okavango Delta to the Nxai Pans.

Create lifelong memories together on an epic journey through Botswana’s most exciting and diverse regions. This Botswana Wildlife Safari boasts uncrowded sightings in the wildest areas. This extraordinary, luxury safari experience encompasses 3 unique and diverse regions in Botswana.

Kwando Private Concession
Be left in awe. The Kwando Private Reserve in the greater Kwando-Linyanti region spans an area 40 times the size of Manhattan. Sprawling over 232,000 hectares of unspoiled wilderness in northern Botswana (opposite Namibia’s Zambezi Region), this is a piece of very wild bush, and its astonishing ecological integrity supports incredible biodiversity. Off-road adventures track lions, leopards, cheetahs, and the swift African wild dogs.

Kwara Private Concession
The Kwara Private Concession spans 175,000-hectares in the northern reaches of the Okavango Delta and it’s where the wild things truly are. Here, papyrus-fringed channels weave through floodplains and savanna scrub, which leads to mopane woodlands, creating a mosaic of habitats that shelter everything from elusive sitatunga to swaggering lions. It’s raw, remote, and ridiculously rewarding — just how a safari should be.

Nxai Pan National Park
Nxai Pan National Park is where epic skies meet shimmering salt pans and ancient baobabs pose like giant bonsai trees. It is dazzling, dusty terrain during the dry season with white pans stretching to the horizon, scattered with springbok, oryx, and the occasional lion padding across like royalty. Game drives here are about wide horizons, surprise sightings, and the magic of big, empty spaces, but you can also expect elephants at the waterhole and bat-eared foxes scrambling through the scrubland while giraffes gaze on.

Grizzly bear catching salmon at Great Bear Lodge BC during a guided wildlife tour

BC WILDLIFE ADVENTURE | GREAT BEAR LODGE

Embark on one of the world’s top wildlife adventures — as recognized by National Geographic — and witness grizzly bears in their natural habitat at Great Bear Lodge BC.

Tucked beside a pristine salmon river in the heart of the Great Bear Rainforest, this remote eco-lodge is a dream base for photography and wildlife tours. With only 16 guests hosted at a time, Great Bear Lodge offers an intimate and immersive experience unlike any other. After twice-daily guided bear viewing sessions, return to wilderness-inspired gourmet meals and cozy, eco-friendly comfort.

While most visitors come for the awe-inspiring grizzly encounters, many leave with a deeper appreciation for the intricate rainforest ecosystem that sustains these great bears.

This region is home to one of the highest concentrations of coastal grizzly bears in British Columbia. In spring and summer, grizzlies feed on lush estuary grasses and sedges. Come late summer and autumn, the salmon run draws them to the rivers in staggering numbers — a spectacle of raw nature few ever forget. Thanks to their coastal diet, these grizzlies grow larger than their inland cousins.

Between wildlife tours, guests can join a guided interpretive walk, a scenic boat trip, or simply relax with a book from our extensive natural history library.
