Landscapes, wildlife, & natural wonders
 
The outstanding nature found in North America is unrivaled, and not too far from home. Witness the uniquely diverse tidal environment at the Bay of Fundy, or admire the unmatched scenery found between the northernmost tip of Newfoundland and the most easterly point in North America. Explore the breathtaking landscapes of the American Southwest, or seek out an array of local wildlife that call Alaska home. Whichever journey you embark on, North America's impressive environment will not disappoint.
 
Hopewell
 
 
Bay of Fundy & Hopewell Rocks
 
For thousands of years, the Bay of Fundy's extremely high tides have been slowly forming towering sculptures in Hopewell Cape, New Brunswick. Seventeen eroded flowerpot formations cover this unique area, and no Canadian adventure is complete without experiencing these must-see natural wonders and discovering the world's highest tides.

Alaskan Wildlife
 
Alaska is home to an abundance of strange and wonderful wild animals. Although a variety of wildlife can be found throughout the state, a large population of spectacular animals can be found in Denali National Park. While at the park, keep an eye out for Alaska's big 5: wolves, moose, grizzly bears, Dall sheep, and caribou. Fun fact: the moose is Alaska's official state animal!

Lace up your shoes, grab your camera, and get ready to explore the rugged landscapes and raw natural beauty of these gems.

Canadian Wildlife
 
Whales, bears, and seabirds galore: there is no shortage of spectacular wildlife in Canada. Admire the orange-footed puffins scurrying across cliffs before plunging head-first into the sea. Travel by sea alongside breaching humpback whales and aerobatic dolphins. Keep a keen eye out for bald eagles nesting in towering trees. No wonder Canada is an incredibly popular destination among travelers!

† The Carefree Booking policy is not travel insurance and only applies to a new booking—defined as booking without the use of funds on file from a previous cancellation. With our Carefree Booking policy, if you book one of our scheduled departures and decide later not to travel for any reason, you can transfer all payments you've made excluding the cost of any issued flight tickets, towards another available departure date or package, with no change fees or penalties.

Alternately, you can choose to receive a future travel credit for all payments made, excluding the cost of any issued flight tickets; or you can choose to receive a refund for that same amount, minus the deposit, per person future travel credit.

You may use these credits anytime, however they must be used or transferred within 5 years of your booking.

The Carefree Booking policy only applies to your original booking—limiting rebookings to one. Subsequent bookings will be subject to standard cancellation penalties. Additionally, any coupon or discount (other than our Instant Savings) does not transfer from the cancelled booking and therefore will not be applied to the new booking.
