Wildlife Holidays

Wildlife and nature play a part in so many of our holidays from the wildlife rich Polar Regions to the iconic marsupials of Australia, the rugged natural beauty of Iceland and New Zealand where the natural scenery is complemented by wonderful bird watching and whale watching opportunities. There are two specific destinations where wildlife takes a central role. In Churchill, Canada, polar bear watching is second to none, while for naturalists, there is nowhere more rewarding than the Galapagos Islands.

 

Whale Watching in Iceland

Whale watching excursions are available from Reykjavik and from Husavik in the north of Iceland and can be incorporated in any of our independent holidays.
