June 24, 2013 by Ben AllonLeave a Comment

Where can you find Canada's best wildlife? If you're a wildlife lover looking for a holiday full of incredible creatures, why not try Canada for your next adventure? Canada's vast and largely unspoilt wilderness is home to a diverse ecosystem, including seals, bison, moose and many other animals, which it is incredibly rare to see outside of a zoo and in their natural habitat. However, the real star of the show as far as wildlife is concerned … [Read more...]

Palau Features Natures Most Unique, One-of-a-Kind Attractions…Swimming with Jellyfish

February 3, 2012 by Molly BLeave a Comment

"Swimming in warm, golden Jellyfish Lake, I'm surrounded by friendly intelligent jellyfish," writes travel journalist and photographer Sharon Spence Lieb. "At first I'm afraid I'll be stung. But these creatures are different: They caress my body and embrace my face. These gelatinous orbs seem downright curious. If I could laugh underwater I would. Who would ever think jellyfish could be so harmless? I'll remember this sensational wildlife … [Read more...]

Puffins in Pembrokeshire, West Wales

July 18, 2011 by Jess SpateLeave a Comment

As an international holiday destination, Wales is a little way off the beaten track. All the great cities of the UK- London, Manchester, Edinburgh, and Glasgow- are far away. While Wales has a rich culture and history of its own, they are much less well known than those of England or Scotland. Pembrokeshire lies in the extreme south-western corner of Wales- it's a quiet and sparsely populated even for a part of Wales, but those visitors who … [Read more...]

San Juan Sailor

June 4, 2011 by Jodi HenryLeave a Comment

Cold rain and a fierce north wind whipped my face. I tightened my hood, careful to keep one hand on the Zodiac's helm. I knew almost nothing about sailing, but here I was, at the wheel of a 127-foot vintage wooden schooner in a driving rainstorm, all four sails catching the wind. Twenty-three wannnabe sailors and I had been told this would be a working trip, but I never thought I'd actually be piloting the ship, especially on a day like this. … [Read more...]

Dancing with Whales

February 5, 2006 by David StanleyLeave a Comment

We've all heard about whale watching from boats or shore, and a few companies are now offering the possibility of actually swimming and snorkeling with whales in the wild. Is this a good thing?
