Wildlife Cruises
The oceans are one of the last great wilderness areas left on our planet. Travelling by sea on a nature cruise represents the best way to see many of the world’s wildlife spectacles, as there are still wildlife paradises that are accessible by sea but cannot yet be reached by air. In addition, we explore some of the worlds most biodiverse freshwater ecosystems along vast rivers in locations such as Brazil and India.

Our Wildlife Cruise specialist recommends
"If you love whales and dolphins I’d recommend our Baja & Sea of Cortez cruise. The world’s largest concentration of cetaceans is found here, but book early as this tour sells out quickly! I’d also suggest ‘Spitsbergen – Realm of the Polar Bear’ for a spectacular combination of wildlife and scenery.”

We have been running wildlife cruises for over 30 years and if your image of cruising is endless deck quoits or bingo, think again! A life on the ocean waves can be a permit to witness scenes of natural splendour that most people will only ever see on their television screens.
