Destinations

Africa

Legend says that Ngorongoro Crater in Tanzania was the Garden of Eden, and it's still lush with forest, pasture, lakes, and animal life, not far from Oldupai, where some of the oldest human fossils have been found.  The largest beasts on the planet still roam Africa, tribes still follow ancient ways and traditions, and you can't help but feel the pulse of a primal connection, and hear echoes of a distant past in the strange, magnificent, breathtaking landscapes. 

Antarctica & The Arctic

Exploring the world through natural history travels are at the heart of two of our most popular journeys – an expeditionary cruise to Antarctica and our popular (and fascinating) land expedition to Churchill, Manitoba in search of the polar bears. You'll learn, explore and become part of a special group of travelers who are explorers… discoverers… adventurers… making a deeper connection with the world around us, a world that beckons and inspires with travel experiences unlike any other.

Asia

Across Asia high-tech cultures are evolving beside ancient ones. From the elegant simplicity of a Japanese tea room to the neon cityscapes of Tokyo; from the intricate art of a Cambodian temple; from elephant walks to frenetic street markets to the serene beauty of the Taj Mahal, we'll guide you through the exotic pageantry of Asia: Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, China, Japan, India and Thailand, where there's never a lack of excitement for the eye, the palate, or the imagination.

Australia & New Zealand

t's only a short flight from Australia's wildly diverse landscapes, cultures, and cities to New Zealand's volcanic islands, geysers, and mystical fjords. And you can visit the countries together on our comprehensive Down Under tours which include Melbourne, Uluru Rock, the Great Barrier Reef, and Sydney, then a hop across the Tasman Sea to Wellington, Fjordlands, Auckland (and more).  Or explore New Zealand's wonders by small ship, and fly to Australia for a walk on the wild side.

Canada

O Canada! Land of breathtaking natural wonders, from Fundy Bay and thundering Horseshoe Falls to the turquoise lakes and glacier-clad peaks of the Canadian Rockies. The world's second-largest country offers a larger-than-life playground of diverse landscapes and cultures, postcard-perfect fishing towns, Old World cities, vast forests, cosmopolitan capitals where the hotels are historic and grand. And we haven't even mentioned the maple syrup.

Europe

"I took the road less traveled," said Robert Frost, "and that has made all the difference," a useful paradigm for traveling anywhere, but especially on the Continent. The Yellow Roads of Europe are routes off the beaten path that bring you closer to the less-visited sights and the everyday life of the country. Explore by land, river cruises, small ship cruises, Tauck Bridges family adventures, and for the truly adventurous, small group tours.

Israel & Jordan

Israel may be small geographically but it is a country of epic proportions, rich with ancient sites and stories that stir the imagination within a modern, kaleidoscopic mix of immigrants, ethnicities, cultures, and religions. Situated at the crossroads of Asia, Africa and Europe, the country of Jordan delights from the archaeological treasures and antiquities of Petra to resort pleasures along the Dead Sea. 

Latin America

Costa Rica is tropical rainforests and exotic wildlife. Argentina is arid and distinctly European. Patagonia is an anomaly of penguins and flamingos, glaciers and jagged mountains. Brazil is Rio, Amazon jungles and Andean peaks. In Peru mountain cities and Incan ruins wait to be explored. Every region has its own dialects, but everywhere the technicolor landscapes speak the same language of adventure.

Middle East

Ancient sites play headlining roles in Middle Eastern countries, where a cultural tapestry rich with timeless traditions and tales of life long ago coexists with present-day innovations. Whether you're exploring Israel, Jordan, Egypt or Morocco, our journeys through the Middle East introduce you to timeless architectural treasures and cultural legacies to be learned, shared and experienced.

USA

As diverse as it gets, from the fishing villages of Maine to the cliffs of Big Sur, from southwest canyons to tropical rainforests, volcanoes, Rocky Mountains, Pacific islands, Yellowstone, Giant Sequoias, towering cityscapes, blue-tinted glaciers, luminous fall foliage, lush vineyards, living Colonial museums, Newport mansions, and New Orleans jazz halls to the marble halls of Washington, DC. With insights from Ken Burns, America's Storyteller.

At safari lodges, tented camps and members' clubs luxuriously appointed and wilderness inspired. In private reserves protecting wildlife, hoofed, pawed and footloose all. In national parks pulsing with moving vignettes and seasonal migrations. On forested volcanic slopes sheltering gorillas, endangered and endearing. Inside tribal villages governed by nature. Near watering holes refreshing passing herds. In sanctuaries sheltering rhinos, chimpanzees and orphaned elephants. On wildlife encounters, naturalist led, and aboard a hot air balloon, perspectives heightened. During game drives, sighting rich. In ancient souks and medinas, Moroccan styled. On a dhow cruise and spice walk, Zanzibar bound. And at sundowners, crimson-skyed, with glasses and spirits raised.
