Natural Habitat Adventures' 2025/2026 Catalog of the World's Greatest Nature Journeys

THE

WORLD’S GREATEST NATURE JOURNEYS • 2025 / 2026

WE BELIEVE IN TRAVEL THAT INSPIRES

Dear Nature Traveler,

The world is a very different place now than it was in 1985 when I founded Natural Habitat Adventures as a naive young man of 22.

In the 40 years since, we’ve come to face challenges from rapid climate change to vanishing species and a global pandemic. Yet I still believe passionately that travel, done right, can be a powerful force for good.

Travel inspires us and opens our minds. It brings us face to face with people—and wildlife—whose well-being may depend on our presence. And nature travel, especially, fills us with awe and wonder, enhancing our understanding that we are part of an interconnected planet.

Since 2003, Nat Hab has partnered with World Wildlife Fund—the world’s leading global conservation advocate—to offer the planet’s premier nature adventures on all seven continents.

When you travel with us, you come to know personally what is at stake, from Greenland’s glaciers and Arctic polar bears to Africa’s Great Migration and the rainforests of the Amazon. In these wild places, your spirit is renewed—and so is your passion for protecting our planet.

Since you share our commitment to conservation through exploration, I invite you to browse our nature travel catalog, then come with us to be inspired as we celebrate our 40th anniversary in 2025!

I hope to see you out there,

Our mission is conservation through exploration: protecting our planet’s natural wonders and wildlife by inspiring travelers and supporting local communities

In small groups led by naturalist Expedition Leaders, you’ll have intimate nature encounters based at distinctive accommodations that immerse you in the wild

Our unique itineraries, crafted with decades of experience, take you farther afield to remote and riveting wilderness destinations across all seven continents

THROUGH CONSERVATION EXPLORATION

TRAVEL WITH PURPOSE

You may know Nat Hab as a travel company, but we’re equally a conservation enterprise—and we pursue our commitment to preserving wild places through travel as our means.

Our mission is conservation through exploration: protecting our planet by inspiring travelers, supporting local communities, and boldly influencing the entire travel industry through innovative efforts to live more lightly on the Earth.

Conservation travel helps nature and wildlife by bringing economic support to local people, encouraging sustainable stewardship of natural habitats. Our dollars provide incomes, education, ranger support, poaching patrols, and hope for the future.

Now more than ever, our conservation mission is crucial. Integral to our mission is our partnership with World Wildlife Fund. Since 2003, Nat Hab and our guests have given more than $45 million to WWF’s efforts to conserve Earth’s most precious and imperiled places.

COMMUNITIES LOCAL EMPOWERING

WILD PLACES TO PROTECT

Natural Habitat Adventures was launched in 1985, and we quickly began taking travelers to see baby harp seals in Quebec’s Magdalen Islands. We wanted to show local communities that ecotourism could bring a sustainable economic infusion, providing an alternative to hunting the adorable furry “whitecoats.”

That model has remained at the heart of our company since. When people find an economic incentive to protect landscapes and wildlife, it is perhaps the most powerful force for conservation that exists.

Human-wildlife conflict is prevalent in many places, from elephants trampling crops in Africa to wolves preying on livestock near Yellowstone National Park. Yet when conservation-minded scientists, NGOs and ecotourism operators work together with local communities, we can find solutions that protect livelihoods while also sustaining natural resources and wildlife. When you travel with Nat Hab, you are part of this success story!

RAISING THE BAR ON SUSTAINABILITY

Since Nat Hab became the world’s first 100% carbonneutral travel company in 2007, we have sought to lead and inspire the entire travel industry in sustainable operations. With a continual eye to shrinking our carbon footprint, we offset our travelers’ flights to and from our destinations. And, committed to greater transparency, we recently launched our new Carbon Clear Vision program, which breaks down the carbon emissions on every trip we run. When we and our guests can see which activities are most carbon-intensive, we can put that awareness to work as we seek to further reduce our output.

Nat Hab is also investing in new climate-related technology initiatives such as Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) and Direct Air Capture. And, critically, we’ve signed on to the Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi), a global initiative aimed at reaching net zero emissions.

We strive to educate our team, travelers, partners, suppliers and others in multiple ways: through our innovative partnership with WWF, with special climatefocused departures, and in the training we provide our Expedition Leaders. Our world has a long way to go when it comes to responsible action to conserve our fragile planet—but it’s a journey we are proud and encouraged to be on.

ITINERARIES UNIQUE MAKE ALL THE DIFFERENCE

With Nat Hab, your adventure is anything but conventional. Our itineraries are designed to create exceptional experiences for our travelers while furthering our conservation mission. We get you deeper into wild places, in more remote settings. And with the decades of connections we’ve nurtured, we offer you access and personalized encounters with nature and people you won’t get with other companies or on your own.

Walk among wild brown bears in the roadless wilderness of Alaska’s Bear Coast. Witness Africa’s Great Migration in the very midst of the herds from our own mobile tented camps set on the Serengeti plains. Cruise to the remote headwaters of the Amazon to explore one of the largest wildlife sanctuaries in the entire river basin, and scout for whales as we navigate ice-choked fjords in East Greenland, where cruise ships don’t go.

You simply won’t find more distinctive adventures than those you’ll experience with Nat Hab!

MAKE A GREAT TRIP PHENOMENAL LEADERS EXPEDITION OUR NATURALIST

As a nature traveler, you need more than an ordinary tour guide. You need a highly trained leader with in-depth knowledge of natural history, ecology and wildlife, with well-honed tracking skills and the ability to interpret all you experience. Only then will you gain the fullest appreciation for the intricacies of the natural world. And if you're on a Photo Expedition, you need a pro who's not only a great photographer but also an adept instructor, helping you get outstanding shots, too.

Our naturalist Expedition Leaders are second to none. Many hold advanced degrees and top-level certifications. And they have access to resources from WWF scientists. Their commitment to conservation infuses all they do.

Yet their expertise alone isn’t what earns them highest accolades from our travelers. Our guests also rave about the personal care they provide—not to mention their great personalities. When it comes to making your trip meaningful, our guides make all the difference!

Learn More: nathab.com/leaders

NATURE ENCOUNTERS

Not only does a small group ensure a lighter impact on the environment, it’s the only way to achieve quiet, close-up wildlife encounters.

Our trips average just 8–10 guests, and many are guided by two Expedition Leaders. In some cases, we are also accompanied by highly qualified local guides. As a result, we’re often able to divide into even smaller groups for wildlife viewing, and to accommodate activities based on varying physical ability levels.

A small group also ensures flexibility and highly personalized service from our Expedition Leaders. It allows us to access remote places and intimate lodgings off-limits to larger groups. Our trips feel more like private gatherings than tours!

CUSTOMIZED SMALL VEHICLES FOR COMFORT & FLEXIBILITY

We know the right vehicle is key to a gratifying nature expedition. That’s why we carefully choose the best mode of small-group transportation for each destination we explore.

Whether you’re searching for polar bears on the tundra aboard a custom Polar Rover or photographing predators on the hunt from our open-sided safari trucks on the African savanna, our vehicles are designed to enhance your experience. And we've rolled out our first electric safari vehicle in Botswana, achieving new strides in off-the-grid sustainability.

Smaller vehicles offer greater access to more remote places. And we never fill them to capacity! You’ll have plenty of space to stretch out. And everyone gets a window seat on wildlife excursions. Nat Hab Photo Expeditions have even fewer guests per vehicle, ensuring you can take all the equipment you need.

WHEN YOU'RE IMMERSED IN NATURE LUXURY IS THE EXPERIENCE

When you travel with Nat Hab, the term “luxury” takes on an important distinction. While many of our remote camps, small ships and ecolodges reflect the traditional definition—providing exceptional comfort and amenities— to us, “luxury” means something more. The real luxuries are rare, awe-inducing moments in nature that only a fortunate few will have in their lifetime.

Watch whales leap in the bay under the midnight sun at our private Base Camp Greenland. Spy a platypus swimming in the river outside your Tasmanian ecolodge. At Nat Hab’s Alaska Bear Camp, laugh at brown bear cubs rollicking in a meadow as their mother grazes nearby.

Our accommodations are distinctive and memorable in their own right. But the real luxury our lodgings offer is how they connect you to the wild. Whether you’re standing awestruck under the aurora at our exclusive Tundra Lodge or watching a herd of wildebeest trundle by at our private migration camps in East Africa, you’ll discover that the moments you spend in nature with us redefine luxury... and they will redefine you forever.

NATURE PHOTO

Capturing the wonders of nature in images is an important quest for many travelers. Tapping expertise gleaned through our 40 years of experience, we provide access to settings and subjects you simply won’t get elsewhere. Step out of Nat Hab’s Aurora Pod® to capture the northern lights or grab the gaze of an elephant at our private conservancy in Botswana’s Okavango Delta.

We’ve designed every detail of our Photo Expeditions to help you go home with the images of a lifetime. With slower pacing and longer days in the field, we allow time and patience to pursue those coveted shots. We often rise early and linger through sunset to capitalize on the best light. And with even fewer guests in vehicles and higher weight allowances on certain flights, we take the extra steps to accommodate all your gear.

Leadership is key: Nat Hab Photo Expeditions are led by outstanding nature photographers and instructors who are also professional naturalist guides—wildlife experts who understand animal patterns and behaviors and who know how to position you for the best shots, by your side with tips and personalized coaching at every turn.

AFRICA

An African safari will touch your spirit for a lifetime. Few places on Earth offer such primal encounters with wildlife. Like catching the golden gaze of a lion, camouflaged in the tawny grass. Or watching dust rise from the hooves of thousands of wildebeest and zebra trundling over the savanna. Or hearing troops of mountain gorillas hoot, grunt and purr in the rainforest. To find these increasingly rare experiences, a small group is imperative, in order to move quietly. An expert guide is essential, and our naturalist Expedition Leaders know how to get you closer to more wildlife. Secluded small camps on private wilderness reserves provide proximity to animals, away from crowds. These are the features that define a truly exclusive safari—and that’s what you’ll find when you explore Africa with Nat Hab.

WWF IN ACTION

With WWF’s support, the Namibian government has empowered communities to manage and benefit from wildlife on their lands through communal conservancies. Developed and run by local people, these conservancies offer protected space for wildlife outside official conservation areas and generate income to support antipoaching operations, wildlife management, and education and health initiatives.

THE GREAT NAMIBIA

WILDLIFE SAFARI

Search for Desert Rhino & Other Rare Wildlife on an Exclusive Fly-In Adventure

Namibia is soul-stirring. Here on the southwest edge of Africa, burnt-orange dunes rise a thousand feet high against a cobalt sky. Inside are diamonds, tucked into the mountains of sand by waves and wind. The coastal desert is washed by the relentless ocean, while inland, the sun bakes the plains into a cracked puzzle of dried mud, pocked with enough grass and thornbush to sustain desert rhinoceros and other rare species uniquely adapted to survive in these daunting environs. Raptors survey arid canyons that slice through vast plateaus, and dry riverbeds run like veins across the landscape. There is water here, too, although its presence is subtle. At times, life is sustained merely by remnants of fog that drift in from the sea. In the stark Etosha salt pan, waterholes attract game pursued by feline predators. Springbok, oryx, kudu and dik-dik run to elude them in a great and ancient desert dance.

WORKING WITH NAMIBIANS TO SAVE THREATENED RHINOS

Namibia is home to one-third of Africa’s critically endangered black rhinos, and despite ongoing threats from poaching and habitat degradation, the country’s rhino population has steadily increased since 2012. With help from WWF, the Namibian government and local communities have strengthened communal conservancies—legally designated areas outside of national parks where locals manage and protect wildlife and natural resources on communal land. Specific initiatives have included hiring community game guards, monitoring rhino populations, community engagement and rhino translocation projects. As protected rhinos began to thrive on communal conservancies, a wildlife tourism industry evolved alongside these successes, bringing much-needed revenue and jobs to communities and demonstrating the economic viability of conservation. Today, conservancies have forged partnerships with tourism investors and management companies, creating lodges and experiences that cater to tourists eager to see rhinos and other wildlife. Revenue from these ventures supports community projects such as education, water access and health care. Conservancies have been an important part of Namibia’s wildlife management since the country achieved independence in 1990, when the new government passed legislation establishing these important tracts and incentivizing conservation. As wildlife tourism continues to improve rural life, the value of rhino protection is indisputable. Today, Namibia’s community conservation approach has made it a leader in sustainable tourism.

Escape the Crowds! Explore Private Reserves on an Exclusive Safari for Just Six Guests

To many, South Africa’s wealth is synonymous with its diamonds and gold. But we think its greatest riches lie in another of its natural treasures: its wildlife. Sabi Sand, Marataba, Madikwe and other vast bushveld reserves protect an astounding diversity of big game. From massive-tusked African elephants to sleek leopards, from squat rhinos to regal lions and Cape buffalo, the Big Five are all here to provide one of Africa’s greatest safari experiences—and with our focus on secluded private reserves in the Greater Kruger region and remote realms beyond, the only crowds you’ll encounter are crowds of animals. At every turn, our Expedition Leader reveals the intricate wonders of the bush ecosystem, sharing interpretive insights and conservation success stories. When your safari is over, one thing is certain: you’ll go home far richer than when you arrived.

KENYA MIGRATION

THE GREAT SAFARI

Follow the Action Across the Maasai Mara from Our

Luxury Mobile Camps

No wildlife event on Earth rivals East Africa’s Great Migration for sheer drama. Every year, enormous herds of wildebeest and zebra, 2 million strong, make a grand circuit across the plains from the Serengeti into Kenya’s Maasai Mara and back, following the new grass that sprouts with the seasonal rains. A host of predators, including the Mara’s abundant lions, follows in pursuit, ensuring their own survival by targeting weaker members of the herds. Along with the wonder of the migration, Kenya offers photographers iconic images of Africa: giraffes browsing in lacy acacia trees, elephants trundling over the savanna against the backdrop of snowcapped Mount Kenya, proud Maasai bedecked in traditional beadwork, and much more. Concentrating on private reserves, we avoid the most heavily visited areas, guaranteeing an authentic safari experience reminiscent of Kenya in days gone by.

TANZANIA’S GREAT MIGRATION & NGORONGORO CRATER

Encounter Wildest Africa on This Coveted Safari

Across the Serengeti & Beyond

On Africa’s Great Plains, the pulse beat of the planet reverberates. Our Land Cruiser is a tiny island in a vast, grassy sea, its idle drowned out by waves of pounding hooves. Wildebeest and zebra flow in a living current across the Serengeti as lion and cheetah follow in their wake, finely tuned hunting machines ready to stalk and take down the weakest members of the herds. From our private mobile camp stationed in the center of the world’s greatest ancient migration route, we are subsumed in a primal spectacle as the drama of predator and prey unfolds. Witness it in rare seclusion, immersed in the wonder of one of the world’s truly epic wildlife events. And of course, no Tanzania safari is complete without a descent into the famed Ngorongoro Crater. The largest unbroken caldera on Earth, the crater is home to nearly 30,000 animals sustained within its walls.

In the Serengeti and Maasai Mara, behold the timeless drama of predator and prey, the circle of life, unfolding rhythmically on one of Earth’s last great wild stages.

KENYA RHINO CONSERVATION SAFARI

Be Part of an Inspiring Ecotourism Effort

Dedicated to Bringing Rhinos Back

With their sharp, swooping horns, large nostrils, whimsical ears and wrinkled, armor-like hides, Africa’s rhinos look both ferocious and charming. The world’s largest land mammal after elephants, rhinos can weigh more than two tons. They are among the oldest mammals on Earth, roaming the continent for millions of years. Yet this mighty, enduring beast is threatened with extinction as poaching has decimated its numbers. But hope glimmers, as concerted conservation efforts are helping rhinos step back from the brink. The amazing rhinoceros is the highlight of this special safari as we enjoy exclusive talks with conservationists on the front lines in three leading private conservancies, hear about struggles and successes with rhino restoration, and relish encounters with other Kenyan wildlife on game drives and guided walks from our secluded private camps.

HELICOPTER TO DENALI BACKCOUNTRY LODGE

Accessible only by air, Denali Backcountry Lodge offers an exclusive immersion in the remote Alaskan wilderness that only a few travelers will get to experience. Guests arrive by helicopter, with an eye-level view of the icy flanks of 20,310-foot Denali, weather permitting. The lodge lies deep inside Denali National Park, 90 miles from the park entrance, where silence and solitude prevail, and wildlife roams the tundra and taiga forest. Private cedar cabins on Moose Creek offer rustic luxury. Acclaimed dining features chef-prepared home cooking highlighting seasonal fresh and local ingredients. The lodge owners have even made a spa with a wood-fired sauna, hot tub and massage available. But the real prize is the proximity to wild nature this rare setting affords, with a host of activities to explore it.

ALASKA BEAR CAMP

A Total Immersion with Brown Bears from Our Private Fly-In Wilderness Base

A genuine encounter with the Alaskan wilderness often starts with a bush plane. And this adventure begins with a private flight across Cook Inlet, passing active volcanoes and glaciers before landing on a pristine beach. The stretch of sand is empty, except for the brown bears that live here—we often see them ambling along the shore before we even land. Our sustainable bush camp provides a base for exploration in the bears’ midst, fronting the bay on the site of an old homestead in a largely untouched setting. It’s a peerless location: Bear Camp occupies an enclave of private land surrounded by Lake Clark National Park, one of the world’s most renowned bear-viewing destinations. Against the backdrop of the ice-clad Aleutian Range, Nat Hab’s Alaska Bear Camp offers rustic luxury and total solitude—with enough bear thrills for a lifetime and then some!

Nature puts on few displays as arresting as Alaskan brown bears feeding on summer’s bounty.

Our private chartered ship, the Natural Habitat Ursus, designed for exploring the Alaskan marine wilderness, offers an exclusive opportunity for just eight guests to follow and photograph bears as they fish, forage and amble along the shoreline. Ashore, we watch safely on foot with our Expedition Leader, an expert bear naturalist who knows these magnificent animals intimately. The grizzlies could not be more nonchalant about our presence! And you won’t find a more pristine setting in which to observe them. Here in Katmai National Park, experience this rarest of encounters with Ursus arctos in all its untamed majesty.

POLAR BEARS OF CHURCHILL

To come face to face with a wild polar bear on the tundra is a peak life experience—especially when you’re aware of their precarious future. Our small-group polar bear expeditions to Churchill, Manitoba, offer you more chances to see the King of the Arctic, in exceptional comfort and safety, than any other place on Earth. And you’re sure to go home an ambassador for their protection as you learn about the challenges that polar bears and other northern wildlife face in a warming Arctic. Each fall, polar bears congregate on the western shore of Hudson Bay, waiting for the ice to form and seal-hunting season to begin. And we are there to witness them, on a nature encounter that has no peer on the planet!

OUR EXCLUSIVE POLAR ROVERS ELEVATE YOUR EXPERIENCE

Large rear viewing platforms allow us to watch polar bears in their habitats. They sometimes even lift their paws onto the sides to check us out!

Each Polar Rover features an interior heating system designed to keep the entire vehicle at a comfortable temperature as we open and close the windows and doors for wildlife viewing.

See-through steel mesh decking on the outside platform allows us to come within inches of bears if they wander beneath—a feature of our vehicles alone.

No smelly drop bucket that needs emptying—we have installed flush toilets on board to ensure your comfort when you need to heed nature’s call.

Huge 6-foot tundra tires lift us safely above the bears while providing a comfortable ride over the uneven tundra terrain.

Oversized windows slide downward, allowing ample access for photography and polar bear viewing from the vehicle’s heated interior.

Our vehicles are designed to hold 30 or more, but for comfort, we limit our groups to approximately 16. All guests get their own window seat and room to spread out.

These unique tundra vehicles are key to the best polar bear viewing experience. Our custom-designed Polar Rovers offer maximum comfort and safety while providing the closest and most exciting polar bear encounters you'll find.

Our trips include both a professional Nat Hab naturalist Expedition Leader and a highly experienced driver/guide to interpret every wildlife encounter.

Our dual radio system keeps our drivers in constant contact with our Rover base and other drivers while our Expedition Leaders maintain contact with other guides and our Churchill office— facilitating the safest and best polar bear viewing.

An angled front windshield—exclusive to our vehicles—allows you to peer forward for closer viewing when the action is right in front of us.

Our reclining cushioned motorcoach seats offer lumbar support and side bolsters, providing the most comfortable ride available.

Polar Rovers are powered by 240 H.P. DT466 International engines, permitting a top speed of 35 miles per hour, when we need to cover ground.

Our custom-designed suspension system (leaf spring front with walking beam rear) enhances the glide of our vehicle and provides a gentler, smoother ride.

PREMIER POLAR BEAR ADVENTURE CANADA’S

The World’s Most Coveted Small-Group Polar Bear Expedition

When you’re standing on the outdoor platform of our Polar Rover, the chill Arctic air feels invigorating. But not as much as the sight of the huge polar bear ambling toward us. Sometimes they are silhouetted against the horizon, slowly moving shadows on the vast expanse of tundra. Other times, we’ll see a mother with cubs up close, or young males play-fighting. Occasionally, one may wander up directly below us. Safely elevated, you’re nonetheless just feet away as you look down on his shaggy, cream-colored bulk. Noticing us, he stops, sniffs and turns his face our way, curious. We grin with delight. The big bear rises on his haunches to peer at us more deliberately. We watch in wonder. Minutes go by, perhaps an hour, who knows? Out here among the bears, time stands still. Join us for one of nature’s most wondrous wildlife encounters—no one does it better than Nat Hab!

CANADA

The northerly latitudes of Canada host extraordinary seasonal nature events. Humpback whales migrate up the Pacific and Atlantic coasts to feed in cold Canadian waters, with more than 10,000 gathering each summer in Newfoundland and Labrador. Belugas congregate by the thousands where the Churchill River meets Hudson Bay. Grizzlies, wolves and spirit bears feast along the salmonrich rivers of British Columbia, while offshore, the misty islands of Haida Gwaii shelter black bears, river otters and bald eagles. In the alpine heights of the Canadian Rockies, bighorn sheep and mountain goats perch on sheer rock walls while moose and elk roam the forest below. Once winter’s darkness descends, the aurora borealis shimmers in the clear Manitoba skies. Our Canada adventures witness such wonders at close range, with interpretation from expert naturalist guides.

NORTHERN LIGHTS & ARCTIC EXPLORATION

A Winter Adventure in Churchill, Manitoba—

The Best Place on Earth to See the Aurora!

In the same land that hosts the beluga whales of summer and polar bears in autumn comes an amazing phenomenon that illumines the dark winter skies. The northern lights—also called the aurora borealis—brighten the night in an ethereal display of color. Churchill has some of the most intense auroral activity on Earth, with often-clear skies that make it an ideal viewing destination. Photograph the lights from five heated vantage points exclusively for our guests, including a cabin in the boreal forest that we access via private snowcoach over a frozen creek, and from our custom-built Aurora Pod®, with a 360° view of the night sky through its glass top and sides. On this exciting Arctic adventure, our days are filled with distinctly northern activities like dog sledding, while nights offer potential for the best aurora viewing on the planet.

AURORA DOMES UNDER THE NIGHT SKY

Watch the celestial colors undulate above the horizon from the comfort of a heated Plexiglass dome that provides a view in the round on the dark night sky. Situated out of town away from the lights of Churchill, the Aurora Domes offer a sense of seclusion on the open tundra. Survey the full expanse of the sky from inside your toasty bubble, and drop downstairs to the lower lounge area for hot drinks and snacks and relaxing on comfortable sofas.

A DOG MUSHER’S TEPEE & CAMPFIRE

Gather around the campfire inside the traditional tepee of an Indigenous sled dog musher who shares stories about Native life and culture in the North as we wait for the aurora to make an appearance. When the dancing lights arrive, head outside as they weave among the stars overhead, popping back into the tepee to warm up as desired.

BELUGAS, BEARS & SUMMER WILDLIFE OF CHURCHILL

Come Eye to Eye with Friendly Beluga Whales on a Canadian Arctic Safari

Few of nature’s marvels match the intense aliveness of an Arctic summer. In a region that’s frozen, still and dark much of the year, the Canadian Northland awakens with a frenzy of energy during long days when the tundra turns green, wildflowers burst into color, animals come forth in great flocks and herds, and belugas return for their summer feasting. More than 3,000 of these amiable white whales congregate at the mouth of the Churchill River, and our motorized rafts and kayaks put us at eye level with them. On the surrounding tundra, look for terrestrial wildlife—including from a helicopter tour! We frequently spot roving or dozing polar bears, their creamy coats contrasting with the rocky shoreline and dark boreal forest. From the remote village of Churchill as our base on Hudson Bay, we are surrounded by the flurry of natural wonders a northern summer provides.

Canada’s most easterly province of Newfoundland and Labrador is indeed a realm of newfound discovery for travelers. Its rugged landscapes, profuse wildlife, and rich history and culture combine to create a wealth of surprises for adventurers seeking a nature encounter beyond more well-trodden destinations. Here, the world’s largest summer population of humpback whales plies the waters off the Avalon Peninsula, and 35 million seabirds, including huge Atlantic puffin colonies, nest on the cliffs of myriad islands. Historic fishing villages dot the coastline and a glacier-scoured landscape showcases rocks from the earth’s mantle and oceanic crust. From the 400-year-old capital of St. John’s to far-flung bays with drifting icebergs, the fascinating history and enduring landscape of Newfoundland and Labrador offers new realms for exploration.

SPIRIT BEARS, HUMPBACKS & WILDLIFE OF BC

Explore Canada’s Inside Passage & Great Bear Rainforest Aboard a Private Sailboat

In the remote valleys of the Coast Range on Canada’s far western edge, the planet’s oldest and tallest trees rise along salmon-studded rivers that rush to the Pacific. Thousand-year-old cedars and Sitka spruce soaring 350 feet into the rain clouds provide shelter for the pale spirit bear of Native legend. Just a few hundred of these rarely seen bears live in this isolated wilderness, and we go in search of them with local Gitga’at guides, First Nations people who have lived among them for millennia. Here, too, are grizzlies and wolves, and bald eagles nest atop ancient conifers while deer and elk browse the undergrowth. Humpback whales and porpoises ply the jade-green fjords. We join them as we sail a maze of inlets in British Columbia’s Inside Passage—a wilderness voyage into the Great Bear Rainforest, one of Earth’s most magnificent, pristine and at-risk natural realms.

U.S. NATIONAL PARKS

Wallace Stegner called our national parks “America’s best idea,” and we agree. Some of the world’s most spectacular landscapes are found in the U.S., whether you’re gaping over the edge of the Grand Canyon, greeting the sun’s first rays atop Acadia’s Cadillac Mountain, or craning your neck to see the towering Tetons. Our national parks are more popular than ever, though, and that’s why we take pains to offer an experience that’s different from what you’ll get with other companies or on your own. Our itineraries maximize quieter nature and wildlife encounters. Our Expedition Leaders have insider knowledge, sharing secret trails and overlooks. From revealing the best wildlife spots to coveted stays at historic park lodges, we get you closer to all you’ve come to experience. With us, you’ll discover the country’s “best idea” in the best way.

HIDDEN YELLOWSTONE & GRAND TETON SAFARI

An Intimate, Expertly Guided Encounter with Iconic Western Wildlife & Landscapes

When President Theodore Roosevelt encountered Yellowstone’s wondrous geology and abundant animals during a visit to America’s first national park in 1903, he proclaimed it “absolutely unique in the world.” Embracing natural beauty as a shared asset, he championed the idea of national parks, building a priceless legacy for generations to follow. In the northwest corner of Wyoming, two of America’s most treasured parks offer scenic grandeur and prolific wildlife unparalleled in the Lower 48, with outstanding opportunities for nature photography. This classic small-group safari through Yellowstone and the Tetons takes us into the domain of elk and bison, moose, bighorn sheep, coyotes, foxes, bald eagles and, of course, black bears, grizzlies and wolves. From plains to peaks, Yellowstone Country still works strong magic.

OUR LOCAL KNOWLEDGE FACILITATES EXCLUSIVE ACCESS

A Rare Winter Wildlife Expedition Deep into Yellowstone & Grand Teton National Parks

In the pale light of sunrise, we survey the open expanse of Yellowstone’s Lamar Valley, searching for wolves. Alongside expert naturalist guides, with spotting scopes poised, we hope to spy a pack emerge from the forest, energized by the awakening day. In the distance, a large male halts and sniffs the frozen air. Elegant predators, wolves are an important part of the Yellowstone ecosystem, where great herds of elk, snow-crusted bison and other prey provide sustenance. Winter’s white mantle offers a pristine backdrop against which to search for these elusive icons of wilderness. The landscape holds magic, too, with steaming geysers, bubbling mud pots and trees covered in glittering ice crystals beneath an immaculate blue sky. Discover Yellowstone and the Tetons on a rare winter wildlife safari—your spirit will never be the same.

REVITALIZING THE GREAT PLAINS THROUGH NATIVE-LED BISON RESTORATION

Bison once roamed the Great Plains in the tens of millions, a sustainable staple for Indigenous peoples who used every part of the animal for food, clothing and shelter. But by the late 19th century, westward expansion and indiscriminate slaughter led to the near extinction of plains bison, with only 512 remaining by 1889. In response, conservationists, including Indigenous people, worked tirelessly to bring the plains bison back from the brink. Today, WWF is proud to partner with Native Nations throughout the Northern Great Plains, following tribal members’ lead on myriad projects with the goal of restoring bison populations and grassland ecosystems on tribal lands. Working with the Sicangu Lakota, WWF helped create the largest Native-owned and managed bison herd in North America on 28,000 acres of native grassland on the lands of the Sicangu Lakota Nation, the Rosebud Reservation in South Dakota. WWF also collaborates with the Fort Peck Assiniboine and Sioux Tribes to develop new programs and activities to increase tribal access to bison and economic sustainability through restoration efforts. At the Fort Belknap Indian Community, WWF advises on bison range management, supports range expansion and facilitates wildlife-friendly fencing. These partnerships have helped boost the Northern Great Plains bison population to an estimated 20,000 individuals. These ongoing efforts include a 2019 release of bison in Badlands National Park on a newly expanded range from which the animals had been absent for 140 years. By following the lead of Native Nations with deep cultural and historical connections to the animals and land, WWF aims to ensure bison can once again thrive in the Great Plains.

GRAND CANYON,

Iconic Vistas & Magical Light—Discover the Red Rock Wonders of the American Southwest

Standing on the edge of the Grand Canyon, searching the shadowy depths for the silver ribbon of the Colorado River thousands of feet below, we are overcome by wonder at our own tiny instant in geological history. The canyon’s sedimentary layers, stacked more than a mile thick, are a calendar for the millennia, formed by the erosive power of water and wind over eons. While this region is known as Red Rock Country, the canyon walls glow gold, rose, rust and violet, ever-changing as the desert light works its magic for photographers seeking coveted shots. No less moving are neighboring Bryce and Zion, whose pink pinnacles and soaring sandstone ramparts round out this trio of famed Southwest national parks. Explore highlights and hidden corners of all three on this classic Western nature adventure, guided by natural history experts.

AN INTERNATIONAL TREASURE GLACIER & WATERTON

Discover the Scenic Splendors & Alpine Heights of Two Neighboring National Parks

The Blackfeet Indians, at home in the Northern Rockies of Montana for over 10,000 years, call Glacier National Park “the backbone of the world.” Its serrated spine of granite peaks forms the Continental Divide, with glacier-carved valleys scoured out on both flanks. It’s a glorious landscape of sharp summits, meadows, wildflowers and meltwater lakes fed by rills tumbling down off the park’s namesake ice shelves. Subalpine forests and rocky ramparts are home to grizzly bears, mountain goats, elk and more. Survey the wonders on Going-to-the-Sun Road, float the Flathead River, and discover hidden corners with our guides who know this wild terrain intimately. Our rare small-group foray into Glacier—plus Canada’s Waterton Lakes National Park, which shares a border and an ecosystem—will refresh and energize contemporary spirits, as this land has done for centuries.

An Autumn Discovery of Maritime Maine & Acadia National Park

The farthest-flung of the New England states, Maine has a wild character all its own. The sun rises in the U.S. here first, gleaming gold over the Atlantic Ocean to delight early risers atop Cadillac Mountain in Acadia National Park. Maine’s crenellated coastline covers 3,478 miles—more than California’s—and that’s not counting its 4,600 islands offshore. To explore it properly, it’s essential to slow down, weaving in and out of its long, narrow peninsulas, indented coves and rocky headlands guarded by historic lighthouses. Wander trails through hardwood forests, nature reserves and wildlife habitat protected by land trusts committed to conservation. Sail from scenic harbors on a chartered schooner and lobster boat. This is where Maine’s magic lies—in a deliberate, up-close encounter with its natural features. Join us Down East for a classic New England idyll—Nat Hab style!

EAST GREENLAND ARCTIC ADVENTURE

Explore Arctic Wilderness from Our Luxury Camp in View of the Greenland Ice Sheet

As technology shrinks our planet and its farthest reaches become more accessible, novel adventures are ever rarer. But that’s what you’ll find at Base Camp Greenland, our deluxe safari-style camp near the edge of the Greenland ice sheet. In East Greenland, one of the most isolated places on Earth, we are immersed in raw Arctic beauty while staying in surprising comfort. Summer here is glorious! Miniature wildflowers dot the tundra, and by early autumn, lowbush blueberries and crowberries ripen as dwarf birch turns gold. Whales frequent the fjord, while icebergs, spawned from massive glaciers, glitter in the late sunset light. Beneath granite peaks that tower over deep inlets, we find stunning hiking and kayaking. Nothing compares to East Greenland for an epic Arctic expedition—and there’s no better way to experience it than from our wilderness base camp!

BASE CAMP GREENLAND

Base Camp Greenland offers an exclusive refuge in the Arctic for Nat Hab guests to enjoy rustic luxury surrounded by icebound wilderness. Although it’s located in one of the most remote places on the planet, the camp provides a host of amenities usually reserved for far more civilized locales.

Guests stay in eight tent cabins housing two persons each, with twin beds outfitted with warm comforters and pillows, a sitting bench, carpet runner, hanging clothing storage, and an en suite odorless dry toilet and washbasin. Built of heavyduty vinyl on raised platforms, each cabin has a private veranda with a view of the bay and the Greenland ice sheet in the distance. Spacious cabin interiors are warmed by an individual heater, and hot showers are available in a separate bathhouse segregated by gender.

CIRCLING THE LAND OF FIRE & ICE ICELAND

A Full Loop Around a Nordic Realm of Waterfalls, Glaciers, Geysers & Volcanoes

Iceland is a small island nation on the edge of the Arctic Circle, but few countries are bigger on natural wonders. Glaciers and geysers, hot springs and waterfalls, basalt pillars and black sand beaches, frigid fjords and fields of lava…Iceland has all these and more, and our expedition showcases the full array of its striking contrasts. Uninhabited until the island was settled by Norse Vikings in the 9th century, Iceland today is one of the most sparsely populated countries in Europe. Along its shores, we’re outnumbered by whales, seals and puffins, which we scout out on private boat excursions. Inland, walk atop raw terrain born of fiery volcanoes and carved by glaciers. Here the North American and Eurasian plates meet, and geothermal forces create a dynamic and dramatic landscape—an experience of pure nature at its most powerful.

A NORDIC DISCOVERY ICELAND & GREENLAND

Explore a Less-Traveled Side of Northernmost Europe on a Unique Integrated Itinerary

Did you know much of Iceland is green and Greenland is icy? Delve into the distinctions on a rare adventure that combines the two, far afield of conventional routes. Start with Iceland’s black sand beaches and thundering waterfalls, then head into the highlands: a vast, bold landscape scoured by glaciers, rent by deep canyons, and rarely trod by visitors. Then it’s west to Greenland, where the scale and drama of our raw Arctic environs may be even more striking. Keep watch for whales as we travel by helicopter and boat to Nat Hab’s private base camp on the virtually unvisited east coast. On Sermilik Fjord, in view of the Greenland ice sheet, massive icebergs in fantastical shapes crowd the frigid waters, which we explore via Zodiac and kayak. Meet local Inuit people and learn about subsistence living in one of the most remote and stunning places on Earth.

HIGHLANDS & ISLANDS SCOTLAND’S WILD

Explore Wild Coast, Ancient Forest & Windswept

Moors in Britain’s Last Great Wilderness

Scotland has long held a wild allure in Britain. Its heather-clad Highlands and far-flung Western Isles have drawn adventurous travelers for millennia. In summer, days stretch toward nearly perpetual light, nurturing a flurry of life in the Hebrides Islands off Scotland’s northwest coast. Millions of seabirds nest in some of the largest rookeries in the world, while whales, seals and dolphins feed in clear Atlantic waters warmed by the Gulf Stream. Exploring the coves and cliffs of the Outer Hebrides, we also find remnants of ancient human presence, from Iron Age stone forts to embellished Celtic crosses. Inland, explore the boreal forest, heathered moors and silver lochs of the rugged Highlands, home to elusive wildlife including red deer, badger, pine marten, and the highly endangered Scottish wildcat. In mystical Scotland, the wild still reigns in Europe!

EXPLORE THE WILDER SIDE OF SCOTLAND

Discover little-known corners of Europe on an intimate nature journey through two diverse Balkan countries. The Dinaric and Julian Alps rise above rugged seacoast and glacier-carved lakes, their karst expanse riddled with caves, gorges, waterfalls and crystalline rivers. Croatia’s Dalmatian Coast, speckled with a thousand islands and reefs, offers idyllic Mediterranean scenery. On a private boat cruise in the Adriatic Sea, view a colony of rare griffon vultures on the island of Cres, and admire rocky headlands, turquoise bays and red-roofed villages that cascade to the sea. In Slovenia, ride a cable car to the top of Triglav National Park and wander alpine trails among wildlife like chamois and ibex.

THE GALAPAGOS ISLANDS

There may be no nature destination on Earth as unique as the Galapagos. Isolated 600 miles off the coast of Ecuador, the islands are home to animals found nowhere else. And they are totally nonchalant about our presence! Playful sea lions frolic in the water with us. Giant tortoises are blasé as we study their wizened faces. Blue-footed boobies look at us quizzically as we admire their fuzzy hatchlings. It’s as if we have discovered a menagerie from an ancient Eden. Our naturalist-led Galapagos adventures immerse you more intimately in this wondrous realm, with more insight, than any other way to see the islands. Choose a small-group trip aboard our chartered small vessels, including our own Natural Habitat Petrel luxury catamaran, stylish and comfortable Tip Top IV fine yacht, or sporty Nemo III deluxe motorsailing catamaran. Or voyage aboard the new National Geographic Islander II, with a suite of tools for exploration to discover this otherworldly paradise at the closest possible range.

NAT HAB’S TORTOISE CAMP

In the highlands of Santa Cruz, our private Tortoise Camp is set in lush Scalesia forest and home to dozens of giant tortoises. An ongoing Scalesia reforestation program gives guests an opportunity to help conserve this essential native habitat while enjoying our rustic and comfortable camp. Accommodations are in two-person permanent tents on raised platforms with large windows, or in charming furnished treehouses. Each treehouse has an en suite toilet and small sink, with showers available in the shared bathhouse about 50 yards away. The six raised tents have a small sink plus private en suite showers and flush toilets. Dinner and breakfast are prepared by the camp chef and served in the covered dining room. The adjoining sheltered lounge offers seating by a crackling log fire, while the bar is a convivial space for evening drinks and socializing.

THE NATURAL HABITAT EXPERIENCE GALAPAGOS DISCOVERY

An Exclusive Private Voyage aboard Premier Small Ships—Includes Our Tortoise Camp!

Six hundred miles off the coast of Ecuador in the open ocean, a volcanic archipelago straddles the equator. The Galapagos Islands, forged of black lava and named for the giant tortoises that are among their most noted inhabitants, are like no other place on Earth. Home to a profuse array of unique wildlife, the islands offer an immersion in nature that feels primeval. Iguanas and blue-footed boobies share the beaches with us, unfazed by our presence. Giant tortoises amble through our private camp, their golden eyes looking out from wizened faces. Inquisitive sea lions play with us in the clear turquoise water, as Galapagos penguins dart by and sea turtles glide past. Author Herman Melville, who visited the islands in 1841, shortly after Darwin’s momentous visit, called them the “Enchanted Isles”—an apt moniker for a realm that remains otherworldly, even today.

& THE SACRED VALLEY MACHU PICCHU

An In-Depth Journey into the Ancient Wonders of the Inca Civilization

High in the Peruvian Andes, the ruins of Machu Picchu rest amid knife-edged ridges and vertical slopes draped in emerald jungle. Hidden from Western explorers until 1911, when a Quechua guide led Yale historian Hiram Bingham to the site, the marvelous Inca city was mesmerizing, even in its dereliction. Built on a granite mountaintop close to the sun, its intricate architecture reveals the ingenuity of its 15th-century designers. Massive blocks of stone were cut to fit together so precisely that no mortar was necessary. The site also reflects the Incas’ extraordinary knowledge of astronomy, with many elements aligning with heavenly events such as the solstice sunrise. Far below the ruins, the Urubamba River rushes through a green gorge into the Sacred Valley. Our journey into the mysteries of Inca civilization also includes Cusco, once the gold-laden capital of the empire.

KINGDOM OF THE MONARCHS

Witness Mexico’s Amazing Migration of Millions of Monarch Butterflies!

One of the world’s most astounding wildlife events occurs each year in the forested Central Highlands of Mexico, featuring the most delicate of creatures. As we enter a grove of oyamel fir trees on a remote mountaintop, the trunks and branches appear to be blanketed with rusty autumn leaves. A closer look reveals they’re quivering. Then, as the sun emerges from behind a cloud to warm them, hundreds of thousands of monarch butterflies take to the sky—so many that we actually hear the beating of their wings, which glow translucent orange against the blue sky. Sometimes, the monarchs float down to alight on our hats and shoulders. On special photography departures, learn to capture inspiring butterfly images, from intricate close-ups to great clouds of airborne monarchs. Experience this moving phenomenon with expert interpretation from Mexico’s premier naturalist guides.

THE OF BAJA GREAT GRAY WHALES

Make Giant Friendships at Sea on Mexico’s Baja Peninsula

Each winter, hundreds of gray whales return to their traditional breeding and birthing grounds along the Pacific coast of Mexico’s Baja Peninsula. Their 6,000mile migration from Alaska’s Bering Sea to these sheltered lagoons is the longest mammal migration on Earth. Once hunted nearly to extinction, these gentle leviathans have made a dramatic comeback. Friendly and engaging, they are often intrigued with humans, swimming right up to our open boats in the warm, shallow waters of San Ignacio Lagoon. We may see mothers with their babies, and our small groups frequently interact with them at close range. The whales entertain us with breaching and spy-hopping, and we may observe mating behavior as well. When you come to Baja with us, you’ll be forever spoiled for whale watching, because it doesn’t get any better than this!

IN-DEPTH, UP-CLOSE WHALE ENCOUNTERS

On six separate small-group skiff excursions, delight in close-range interactions with gray whales, including mothers and calves, during their annual migration

As the riverboat chugs its way up the chocolate-colored channel, fringed with dense rainforest, the primeval depths of the Upper Amazon beckon. Our focus is the Pacaya Samiria National Reserve at the mighty river’s headwaters, a 5-millionacre mosaic of flooded and dry forest, islands and tea-colored creeks laden with tannins. Containing some of the greatest biodiversity on Earth, it shelters the largest wildlife populations in the Amazon Basin. Explore by excursion boat, on foot and by kayak, looking for pink river dolphins, monkeys, sloths, macaws and butterflies. Lagoons covered in giant lily pads teem with fish and caiman, while scores of marsh birds hunt from shore. Visit local villages, and learn about conservation challenges as we follow hundreds of miles of Amazon tributaries aboard a deluxe ship built for exploring the river system’s farthest reaches.

Deep within the most biodiverse region of the Amazon Basin, explore the Pacaya Samiria National Reserve, one of South America’s largest flooded wildlife sanctuaries. It’s home to a staggering array of species, including 13 different primates, pink river dolphins, and rainbow-hued macaws—the Peruvian Amazon boasts nearly a thousand species of birds alone! West into the jungle-shrouded peaks of the Andes lies another marvel, this one of human origin: Machu Picchu, the mystical stone city built by the Incas in the 15th century, and below, the Sacred Valley of the Urubamba River, replete with myth and ruins. Discover it all on a diverse, seamlessly integrated adventure combining Peru’s most astounding natural and archaeological wonders.

MACHU PICCHU & THE SACRED VALLEY

An In-Depth Journey into the Ancient Wonders of the Inca Civilization

High in the Peruvian Andes, the ruins of Machu Picchu rest amid knife-edged ridges and vertical slopes draped in emerald jungle. Hidden from Western explorers until 1911, when a Quechua guide led Yale historian Hiram Bingham to the site, the marvelous Inca city was mesmerizing, even in its dereliction. Built on a granite mountaintop close to the sun, its intricate architecture reveals the ingenuity of its 15th-century designers. Massive blocks of stone were cut to fit together so precisely that no mortar was necessary. The site also reflects the Incas’ extraordinary knowledge of astronomy, with many elements aligning with heavenly events such as the solstice sunrise. Far below the ruins, the Urubamba River rushes through a green gorge into the Sacred Valley. Our journey into the mysteries of Inca civilization also includes Cusco, once the gold-laden capital of the empire.

LAND OF

THE SNOW LEOPARD

Explore the Indian Himalaya’s Alpine Heights on a Search for One of Earth’s Rarest Cats

The Himalayas have long held allure for adventurers. And in the world’s highest mountains, no creature is more alluring than the snow leopard. This elegant feline, with its rosette-spotted silver coat, patrols lofty ridges in Earth’s most forbidding altitudes. Agile and solitary, built for hunting bharal and ibex, it uses its long, thick tail for balance and warding off winter’s cold bite, traversing snowfields on broad paws that serve as snowshoes and pad rocky landings after a 50-foot pounce onto unwitting prey. Search for these mysterious cats in the heights of Ladakh, a former Silk Road kingdom in northern India with a vibrant Tibetan Buddhist culture. In this austere realm, icy peaks tower above whitewashed monasteries, prayer flags in primary colors flutter atop mountain passes—and our wilderness quest in search of the snow leopard awaits.

CAMERA READY: COUNTING BHUTAN’S SNOW LEOPARDS TO HELP PROTECT THEM

Snow leopards inhabit a vast area of roughly 770,000 square miles across the often-impenetrable mountains of Central and South Asia, including the Himalaya, Hindu Kush and Pamirs ranges. Globally threatened, the wild snow leopard population is anywhere from 4,000 to 6,500. Unfortunately, a robust snow leopard census does not exist due to the apex predators’ secretive nature, low population densities, and the difficulty of accessing their remote mountainous territory—only about 30% of snow leopard range in Asia has been surveyed. This lack of comprehensive data can inhibit conservation efforts and has historically been an impediment in protecting this elusive feline. However, Bhutan, with help from WWF and partners, has made important strides in counting and conserving the country’s snow leopards. From 2022–2023, Bhutan conducted its National Snow Leopard Survey and documented a 39.5% population increase since 2016. Specifically, Bhutan’s snow leopard population grew from 96 individuals to 134 in that time frame. The increase coincided with a period of targeted conservation efforts like protecting snow leopard habitat and working to reduce human-wildlife conflicts. To conduct the survey, biologists and wildlife managers analyzed more than 10,000 images collected through a system of 310 camera traps across 2.2 million acres. They also used data modeling and DNA evidence from carnivore fecal samples. The results underscore the positive impacts of conservation and show that Bhutan’s successful efforts to both count and conserve snow leopards can serve as an example for the rest of the region.

THE WILD SIDE OF CHINA

A NATURE ODYSSEY

Meet Pandas Up Close & Search for Rare Wildlife on Remote Nature Reserves

Deep in the Minshan Mountains of Sichuan province, great rivers and gorges dissect lush forests that shelter some of the world’s most endangered wildlife. This is the last wild habitat of the giant panda, which subsists on the bamboo protected within a network of remote nature reserves. Supported by WWF, these little-visited wilderness enclaves also harbor rare moon bears, golden snub-nosed monkeys, shaggy takin, Chinese goral, blue sheep and exquisite birds, including the golden pheasant. Discover a side of China most travelers never experience on our unique itinerary, carefully crafted to reveal rarely seen panda habitat, upclose encounters with pandas, and Chinese nature at its most entrancing. We also visit the ancient Silk Road city of Xi’an, where the Terracotta Army has guarded the tomb of China’s first emperor for more than 2,200 years.

WILD & ANCIENT

HIMALAYA NEPAL & BHUTAN

Exploring Nature & Culture in Two Historic Mountain Kingdoms

Geographically diverse Nepal holds the world’s highest mountains and lowland jungle plains. Safaris in the Terai reveal its captivating wildlife as we search for sloth bears, leopards and rhinos roaming the subtropical forests. In neighboring Bhutan, quality of life is measured in terms of Gross National Happiness, not merely material measures. Though Bhutan is a tiny country, it is a global conservation leader, proud to be not only carbon-neutral, but carbon-negative. The “Land of the Thunder Dragon” remains dedicated to preserving its deep Buddhist traditions and pristine landscapes. Visitor presence is still light, and a journey among its serene monasteries, Himalayan peaks, glacial rivers and peaceable villages reveals Bhutan’s singular beauty. Combine an adventure in these two ancient kingdoms for a nature sojourn that will move your spirit.

WILDS OF BORNEO ORANGUTANS & BEYOND THE

A Quest in Search of Rare & Threatened Wildlife in the World’s Oldest Rainforests

Borneo, the world’s third-largest island, harbors the tallest and most ancient rainforests on Earth. Sheltered beneath their dense canopies are jungle rivers, waterfalls and a host of wildlife that leaps, darts and crawls in the emerald depths. Endangered orangutans thrive in the lush vegetation, sharing branches and vines with leaf monkeys, wild gibbons, flying lemurs and more than 300 vibrant bird species. Rare proboscis monkeys are at home in coastal mangroves where hornbills and sea eagles soar above. In the forest beneath Mount Kinabalu’s prominent peaks, pygmy elephants lumber through the underbrush while monitor lizards sunbathe on the banks of the Kinabatangan River. Wildlife flourishes in Borneo, and we safari in search of it on a matchless tropical nature adventure.

THE WHITE CONTINENT JOURNEY TO ANTARCTICA

Antarctica. The name alone is epic. No place is more synonymous with adventure, extremes and untouched wilderness. Though rumored to exist even among the ancient Greeks, Antarctica had no documented sightings by humans until 1820. History’s most intrepid expeditions penetrated its inner reaches a little over a century ago. Today, Antarctica’s white wonders are within reach of anyone with an explorer’s spirit. Our small expedition ships designed for polar cruising navigate among colossal icebergs, giant whales and elephant seals, while thousands of penguins and other seabirds congregate ashore, nesting and nurturing their young in the endless light of a southern summer. Antarctica arguably supersedes any place on Earth in provoking a traveler’s awe, and it does so no less now than for Shackleton or Amundsen. Discover the Wildlife Wonders of the World’s

AMONG THE GREAT WHALES

Meet Gray Whales Up Close & Explore the Desert & Seas of Baja California

Each winter, gray whales migrate from their Arctic feeding grounds in the Bering Sea to breed and birth their young in the sheltered lagoons of Mexico’s Baja Peninsula.

In the protected waters of Magdalena Bay on Baja California’s Pacific coast, cruise among the whales in expedition rafts, offering the rare privilege of a close-up, water-level perspective—these friendly mammals sometimes approach our boats directly! We also enjoy naturalist-guided walks on uninhabited islands, plus swimming, snorkeling and kayaking in the Sea of Cortez.

Refer a Friend, Get Your Trip Credit!

As a gesture of our appreciation, we will provide you a credit for $250 off a future trip of your own when you send a referral who books a trip with us! Visit nathab.com/refer-friend for details.

Terms & Conditions

The provisions listed in this catalog are not intended to limit, modify or alter Natural Habitat Adventures’ Terms & Conditions in any way. Please review our full Terms & Conditions at nathab.com/terms for more details.

Booking Your Trip

You’ll notice that Nat Hab’s groups are intentionally the smallest in the industry, an element of our journeys that is vital to providing the finest nature expeditions on the planet. With this in mind, we thank you for understanding if a specific departure is limited in terms of available space.

To

Book Your Trip

Call Our Office or Your Travel Advisor

Our office is open Monday through Saturday. Call 800-543-8917 (U.S. & Canada) or 303-449-3711 (international), and one of our Adventure Specialists will be happy to answer your questions, check availability for the trip of your choice and process your deposit.

Book Online

Most of our trips can be booked online—an expedient option, since our small-group departures tend to fill fast. Go to our website at nathab.com, find the trip you’d like to join and click on the “Book Your Trip” button. Your spot will be reserved immediately upon submitting your credit card, but please note that online reservations are not guaranteed until an Adventure Specialist reviews your booking and processes your deposit.

Our Exclusive Quality & Value Guarantee

Your Satisfaction Guaranteed

Nat Hab guarantees your trip will meet the high expectations we set, or we’ll gladly give you a credit toward a future trip. Of course, we can’t control natural circumstances such as weather or wildlife movements, but when it comes to the inclusions, activities, accommodations and guiding, we stand behind the quality standards we promise with what we believe is the best guarantee in the travel industry.

The Best Trip at the Best Price

We’re confident we offer an incomparable nature travel experience when you take into account our expertly designed itineraries that include unique experiences

and exclusive access, our remote wild destinations, exceptionally small groups and highly qualified naturalist Expedition Leaders. But, should you come across a matching itinerary of our quality at a lower price, even within 30 days after booking with us, we will refund the difference.

Rest Assured ... We Won’t Cancel!

While many companies often cancel trips due to low enrollment, we don’t! This policy applies to all Nat Hab trips (except Photo Expeditions) and gives our travelers security and peace of mind in knowing your travel plans are virtually guaranteed. In the event circumstances outside our control force us to cancel, we will do our best to rebook you on a departure that works for you.

Trip Prices

Trip prices listed in this catalog are valid at the time of printing. Costs for services in the remote areas we travel to can change throughout the year, so small changes in price and itineraries may occur and will be reflected in updates on our website. All trip prices are in U.S. dollars.

Trip Inclusions

Each itinerary includes a variety of features and elements unique to that specific adventure. Please consult the individual trip pages on our website for a full list of inclusions and exclusions for the trip of your choice.

Deposits

Most of our trips require a $500 deposit to reserve your space. The exact deposit amount for each trip, along with the cancellation policy for that trip, is listed on the individual trip pages on our website. Your deposit can be made by Visa, MasterCard, Discover, or American Express.

Final Payment

Final payment for most trips is due 120 days prior to departure. On rare occasions, a select trip may require final payment earlier. Please consult the specific trip page on our website for details. For your convenience, your final balance will be charged to your credit card on the final balance-due date, unless you make your own final payment online via your Adventure Portal or indicate in writing prior to the final balance-due date that you would prefer to pay by alternate means. If payment is not received by the final balance-due date, your reservation is subject to cancellation.

Booking Conditions & Forms

When you book one of our adventures, you agree to sign our Guest Trip Agreement, which states that you and your party have read and understood the important information in our Terms & Conditions and our Guest Trip Agreement , including a release of liability and assumption of risk, and agree not to sue Nat Hab or its affiliates, participating

agents or representatives. On payment of a deposit, you agree to be bound by our Terms & Conditions . We require that these forms, including your completed Booking Form and Guest Trip Agreement , are submitted within 14 days of making your initial booking and deposit. Failure to do so may result in the cancellation of your booking with no refund beyond that which is listed in our cancellation policy.

Physical Requirements

Our trips are intended for individuals in good physical and mental health, with reasonably good mobility. The Physical Requirements section on each trip page on our website provides important information regarding the physical expectations for that trip. Please read this information carefully. In order to provide a fulfilling experience for all travelers, we must ensure that you are able to perform the required physical activities for your chosen trip, determined solely at Nat Hab’s discretion. Certain trips may require that you obtain medical approval before departure, and Nat Hab reserves the right to request additional medical information and/or a physical examination prior to or during your trip as a condition of your participation. Additionally, Nat Hab reserves the right to prohibit you from joining or continuing on a trip if, in our opinion, your physical, emotional or behavioral limitations or actions pose or could pose a threat to your safety or enjoyment, or that of other guests or staff, or to the safety of wildlife. In the event you are not permitted to join a trip or are asked to leave a trip in progress as a result, there will be no refund of any portion of the trip price, used or unused, beyond that listed in our cancellation policy nor will Nat Hab be responsible for additional expenses that you incur.

Your Confirmation Documents & Pre-Departure Briefing

Upon booking, you will receive a confirmation email and a link to your customized Adventure Portal, which hosts initial documents, including your invoice, trip forms, air travel information, visa and vaccination requirements (if any), and more. Approximately one to two months prior to departure, you will receive a comprehensive PreDeparture Briefing with details about the trip, destination, history and wildlife of the region, what to pack and how best to prepare. We can send your Pre-Departure Briefing electronically if you indicate this preference, or it can be found on your Adventure Portal.

Trip Cancellation & Refund Policy

We understand how disappointing it can be if you are forced to cancel or change your long-anticipated adventure. But we, too, plan far ahead before each departure and continuously send nonrefundable payments to hotels and other suppliers. Therefore, we must strictly adhere to our cancellation and trip change

policy for all travelers. We strongly suggest purchasing travel insurance† to help protect your trip payments in the event you must cancel or otherwise change your plans due to one of the listed covered reasons.

The following are the terms of our cancellation and trip change policy:

• All cancellations processed 121 or more calendar days prior to departure will incur a $100 cancellation fee per person. Some trips and extensions have nonrefundable deposits. Please consult the specific trip page on our website for details.

• Cancellations made 61 to 120 calendar days prior to departure are assessed a cancellation fee of 50% of the entire trip price, including internal air, extensions and extra services such as hotel nights.

• Cancellations made 60 calendar days or less prior to departure are assessed a cancellation fee of 100% of the trip price, including internal air, extensions and extra services such as hotel nights.

• Guests traveling on Adventure Cruises must adhere to the payment requirements, cancellation policies and terms and conditions set by the ship owner/operator.

• Custom-designed trips and extensions require a 25% nonrefundable deposit and follow our standard cancellation and trip change policy unless otherwise stated.

• Deposits for a private booking of a scheduled trip or extension where a guest has reserved the entire or partial departure through our Make It Private program are double the listed individual trip and extension deposit amount and are nonrefundable.

• Our Sailing Antarctica adventure has a different policy. Please call us for details

All cancellations and trip change requests must be made in writing by mail or by email and received and acknowledged by Nat Hab. Travel insurance purchased through Nat Hab is completely nonrefundable after the 10-day review period.

In the event either Nat Hab or the guest changes, reschedules or rebooks a trip or extension, including custom-designed trips and custom-designed extensions, for any reason, including, but not limited to, force majeure, the cancellation and trip change policy as of the date of the original booking shall remain in full force and effect. For example, for any cancellation or trip change received between 61 to 120 calendar days prior to the departure of the originally booked date, a fee of 50% of the entire trip price, including extensions, will apply for the revised date regardless of the lead time of a cancellation of the revised departure date. Similarly, cancellations or trip changes received less than 60 calendar days prior to the original departure date shall be assessed a fee of 100% of the trip price, including any extensions,

regardless of the lead time of a cancellation of the revised departure date.

Travel Insurance†

To help protect your financial liability, we strongly suggest purchasing travel insurance. Nat Hab has arranged a plan with Arch Insurance Company designed specifically for our guests. Please see the Traveler Resources page on our website for details. We will include the cost of the Natural Habitat Comprehensive Travel Protection Plan option along with detailed information about coverage on your Adventure Portal. Nat Hab asks for your written confirmation of intent to purchase, or confirmation that you decline to purchase, such travel insurance. All insurance purchased is nonrefundable after the 10-day review period. Medical evacuation insurance, either purchased through Nat Hab as a part of the Natural Habitat Comprehensive Travel Protection Plan or on its own, or through a third party, is required for some of our trips. Please consult the Dates, Prices & Info section of each individual trip page on our website.

†The travel insurance coverage we offer is currently underwritten by Arch Insurance Company, NAIC#11150, and policies are administered by Arch Insurance Solutions Inc. A full description of coverage is available online at naturalhabitat.archinsurancesolutions.com and you may contact Arch Insurance Solutions Inc. at 1-844-872-4163 if you have questions. The travel insurance coverage we offer is subject to change. For the most up-to-date information, visit nathab.com/terms

Getting to or from a Nat Hab Trip

Nat Hab guests are responsible for getting to and from the start and end points of their trip, which includes abiding by all government entry and exit requirements, including those related to COVID-19 and visas, and for arriving by the designated start time on the first day of the trip. Should guests be delayed for any reason in getting to or departing from a trip, or must leave a trip early, Nat Hab is not liable for any additional costs incurred in joining or leaving the trip (such as costs for accommodations or transportation), nor will guests receive a refund for any missed portion of the trip as a result of late arrival, early departure, quarantine or other illness. For the most up-to-date health and safety protocols, see nathab.com/illness-info

Nat Hab’s Travel Desk

As an exclusive service for our guests, Nat Hab offers a full-service Travel Desk that is available to assist you in purchasing international air tickets and certain hotel reservations. Please note that Nat Hab’s Travel Desk does not book flights within the continental United States or Canada and cannot book flights with airline miles. Please call our office at 800-543-8917 for more details.

Document Requirements & Vaccinations

In order to join a Nat Hab trip, you are responsible for obtaining and maintaining all required documents and vaccinations and accepting and following all health and safety protocols, which may be found at nathab.com/ plan-trip. These can include, but are not limited to, valid passports, visas and vaccinations. Additionally, you are responsible for knowing and meeting the entry and transit requirements of all countries you will be visiting or traveling through in relation to your trip. For current passport and visa requirements, please visit travel.state.gov as well as individual country websites and/or embassies in the countries visited. For up-to-date vaccine information, please visit cdc.gov/travel. For individual country entry requirements, please visit the individual country websites and/or embassies.

Single Travelers

We encourage single travelers to join us! If you are traveling on your own, you can request either a single room or a roommate match. Single-room accommodations are subject to a single-room surcharge, which guarantees a private room without a roommate (where available). See individual trip pages on our website for pricing details. In order to keep our single-room surcharges as low as possible, on occasion, single rooms may be smaller than double-occupancy rooms. Single-room accommodations are not available on all trips.

If you request a roommate match, we will do our best to find a same-sex roommate; however, if we cannot arrange a match, you will not be charged a single-room surcharge. Please consult specific trip pages on our website for details. On all custom-designed trips, 100% of the single-room surcharge will always apply, as there is no opportunity to arrange a roommate match.

Family Travel & Age Limits

Nat Hab welcomes families on certain trips and offers select scheduled family departures. On certain trips and most family departures, children 6 years and older are welcome. Due to safety regulations, physical limitations and concerns regarding group dynamics, we do not allow children younger than 6 on our trips. Additionally, some trips, or specific activities within a trip, have higher minimum age requirements. For private departures, we may be able to accommodate children younger than 6. We strongly encourage you to call our office to speak with an Adventure Specialist about the specific requirements of the trip you’re considering so you can make an informed decision about your child’s participation. On all trips, the parent or legal guardian of children under age 18 must sign the Minor Permission Waiver requiring guardians to ensure that children in their care do not place themselves, other guests, staff or wildlife in harm’s way, or jeopardize the enjoyment of the trip for the group as a whole.

Language Policy

All of Nat Hab’s trips are conducted in English. You must have a proficient understanding of the English language in order to fully enjoy all aspects of the adventure and, most importantly, to fully understand all rules and safety instructions provided by the Expedition Leader(s). We are unable to provide translated pre-trip materials or translators during the trip.

Dietary Restrictions & Allergies

With ample notice, Nat Hab can generally accommodate common dietary restrictions on most of our trips, such as vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free (though it may not be possible to accommodate celiac disease—please ask an Adventure Specialist for more information), though limitations on food variety may exist. However, given the nature of adventure travel, and the often-remote nature of our trips, Nat Hab cannot guarantee that allergens or items on your restriction list will not be present at restaurants, accommodations or elsewhere during a trip. Ultimately, you must take responsibility for your own health and safety and understand that we cannot guarantee against cross-contamination or airborne transmission of allergens during the trip.

World Wildlife Fund

Since 2003, World Wildlife Fund, Inc. (“WWF”), the world’s leading environmental conservation organization, has partnered with Natural Habitat Adventures (Nat Hab) to provide conservation travel experiences in the planet’s most captivating wild places.
