Sail on an expedition cruise into world’s largest intact temperate rainforest on Canada's west coast. This is a world of steep-sided fjords, tranquil coves and inlets, islands and great river estuaries and above all: wildlife. Grizzly bears, Spirit bears, Black bears and wolf packs have thrived here for millennia. Whales, sea lions, bald eagles, and other marine mammals and birds abound, and as we cruise this beautiful coastline, you get to explore by zodiac and kayak and walk in rainforest and wildflower meadows with our on-board naturalist. We will also stop in some of the remote First Nation villages where we will be welcomed and learn about local history and culture.

Steep mountains rising from the turquoise Mediterranean, slopes covered in lemon groves, white-washed villages lining deep valleys where they meet the ocean. Explore covered alleys leading to hidden courtyards and sit down for a glass of wine or some gelato. Follow ancient footpaths and stairs up the hills to hamlets tucked away in forest-covered hills. Hike up to a vantage point and marvel at the views over this, the Amalfi Coast. This is one of the best coastal hikes in Italy.

Endless Roman ruins, romantic Venetian towns and Byzantine churches. Sun-bleached hills descending to cobalt blue seas, which in turn straddle a coast dotted with picturesque isles. And if that is not enough, come and find out why Croatian wines and olive oils are making a mark on the world stage. This private journey through Croatia takes you to the highlights: the Palace of Diocletian in Split, the stunning Gothic palaces, winding pedestrianized marble streets and old Venetian harbour of Hvar, the baroque buildings and ancient city walls Of Dubrovnik.
As with all our private tours, this sample itinerary can be completely tailored to create the perfect journey of discovery for you. For this group we created a 3-week itinerary visiting Slovenia, Croatia, Montenegro and Bosnia-Herzegovina. The itinerary was a labour of love with plenty of special experiences, sumptuous meals and produce tastings while staying in small-boutique hotels.
