Get closer to nature
Join fellow explorers on a Zodiac, a sturdy, inflatable small boat, built to go where the mother ship can’t reach. You might follow the coastline to search for flora and fauna, or head out to where whales have recently been spotted – the possibilities are endless. You’ll thread between towers of glacier ice, gliding over blue-green water, listening for the deep crack of a glacier calving into the sea, and watching for harbour seals and their pups resting on the ice floes around you. With you all the way, our Expedition Team and expert crew share their passion and knowledge.
