My recent Expedition cruise on the Ocean Albatross exceeded my expectations. From the exceptionally professional, knowledgeable and most personable guides, to the ship’s hotel staff, everyone was focused on ensuring my cruise was all I expected and more. No request, no matter how small was always met with a smile. Bravo! When combined with the raw beauty of Greenland’s snow capped jagged mountains, to the iceberg dotted fjords, flower adorned valleys and colorful quaint towns, Greenland is a must for the out of the way travelers. See it now, before word gets out on how unique the island is.

We visited Torres del Paine on a Puma watching safari in January on a trip organised by Wildfoot Travel. This was part of a trip which included Punta Arenas and Easter Island - the holiday of a lifetime without any doubt. This review is solely about Torres del Paine. The 3 day Puma safari involved my wife and I setting out very early before daybreak in a vehicle with a driver and a guide and following the expert Puma tracker Roberto who went ahead to spot the Pumas. Roberto I recognised from Frozen Planet II episode 4 where he had spotted for the BBC camera team. We were delighted to be with a TV star, and he was delighted we recognised him.

We had been concerned as to how much we would see as my wife only walks with a stick short distances. On the first day within an hour we were viewing the flamingos at Lake Armaga when we saw in a cave 5 Pumas which we watched as they settled down for a snooze after a night's hunting. Little walking was involved for superb views. After a couple of hours we went back to park HQ for a toilet break, and returned to find we had missed 4 more Pumas who had appeared from the opposite direction and then laid down in the bush and could not be seen.

After spending several hours sightseeing, we returned to view the cave and watched the Pumas waking up and getting on with life, On the second day we saw no Pumas but toured the park with magnificent secenary. On day 3 Roberto took just us in his car to private land. Before we even got there we watched 4 pumas walking on the beach at Lake Armaga , and a 5th, hereafter known as Ruth's puma was spotted by Ruth not 5 metres from her, which calmly walked across the road and disappeared into the bushes. In the private land we watched a puma stalking a guanaco but not getting close enough and she eventually settled on a hill top for a sleep. Returning in the late afternoon we eventually tracked her down and from 50 metres away watched her and her cub, and another older female and 2 cubs gathered round a guanaco which she had killed and resting having eaten their fill. What an end to our safari - a 10 puma day. David Attenborough would be amazed.

Wildfoot Travel provided first class attention and support from our first contact with Amy finishing with a personal card welcoming us home from our Arctic trip. Amy spent a lot time ensuring we selected the right trip for our group of 4 adults and got it spot on. Hurtigruten was a well oiled organisation who made the trip a wonderful experience helping to broaden our knowledge of all things arctic and going the extra mile to help us spot the wildlife we all longed to see - the polar bear. All wildlife was treated with the utmost respect as was the fragile environment.
Can't wait to plan our next trip and won't hesitate to use Wildfoot Travel again.

Wildfoot booked a Galapagos cruise which we had already identified. Their views and experience was important in making the choice. Overall the experience of the cruise was wonderful. Whilst we were on holiday prior to the cruise we heard that there were problems and Simon at Wildfoot was active in getting to the bottom of it to reassure it. Would recommend Wildfoot for your next adventure.

I came into contact with Wildfoot in 2022 as I was looking for a last-minute trip to the Artic. The team was super professional and gave me right advice and we booked my trip in 2023. The team was very well coordinated with the expedition company and followed me in every step before and after departure. I am very happy with them and in the future I will for sure ask for their advice when looking at expedition trips

[H2] About Canada

From the lush Pacific coast to the ice-rimmed channels of the High Arctic, Canada is a country of incredible vastness and breathtaking diversity. From temperate rainforest to polar desert, this epic country delivers an unrivalled sweep of landscapes and experiences. Imagine whale-rich Pacific fjords, glassy lakes beneath the Rockies, iceberg-dotted Atlantic coasts, and the silent, luminous North. Whether your sights are set on British Columbia & Alberta, Newfoundland & Labrador, or the far reaches of Nunavut and Baffin Island, this is a destination where big wilderness meets rich culture and history.An unforgettable trip to Canada could take many forms, from cosy lodges and guided road journeys to boutique wilderness retreats and small-ship expeditions through storied channels like the Northwest Passage. Our Canadian adventures are largely centred around the awe-inspiring wildlife encounters that make this country so special. Search for grizzly and black bears, and the rare spirit bear, in the Great Bear Rainforest, observe humpbacks and orca off Vancouver Island and Haida Gwaii, or venture to the remote reaches of Manitoba to encounter polar bears and belugas in enigmatic Churchill. There is no end to the wealth of experiences on offer here. Wherever you choose to explore, and however you choose to explore it, we can almost guarantee that your first trip to Canada will not be your last. Canada is somewhere that implores you to return time and time again, to uncover more, discover more, learn more, and feel more. It is a region of such grand scale that one trip is seldom enough. Yet that one trip could have the power to be genuinely transformative.

[H3] Geography of Canada & Canadian Arctic

[IMG: Geography of Canada & Canadian Arctic]

Stretching from the emerald Pacific to the ice-edged Arctic and the Atlantic’s rugged capes, Canada is a mosaic of dramatic regions. On the west coast, Vancouver Island, the Great Bear Rainforest and Haida Gwaii form a rare temperate rainforest belt of fjords, islands and old-growth cedar. Inland, British Columbia & Alberta rise into the Rockies, Banff, Lake Louise and Jasper, where glacier-carved valleys, turquoise lakes and high passes define the Continental Divide.

Farther north and east, the land opens into tundra and sea ice. Nunavut and Baffin Island anchor the Canadian Arctic Archipelago, with soaring cliffs, deep fjords and the historic channels of the Northwest Passage. On Hudson Bay, Churchill, Manitoba bridges boreal forest and open tundra, while the Atlantic edge of Newfoundland & Labrador delivers iceberg-studded coasts, seabird-covered headlands and quiet outports. Accessed via enchanting and vibrant urban hubs and sweeping cities, together, these regions create a vast, varied stage for wildlife, culture and exploration.

[H3] Getting Around Canada

[IMG: Getting Around Canada]

The distances around Canada are vast, so most journeys will blend short domestic flights with scenic road or rail legs and, on the coast, ferries or floatplanes. Western gateways like Vancouver and Calgary connect you to Vancouver Island, the Great Bear Rainforest, Haida Gwaii and the Rockies (Banff, Lake Louise, Jasper). To the east, Winnipeg is the jumping-off point for Churchill, Manitoba, while St. John’s opens up Newfoundland & Labrador. In remote areas, transfers are typically guided and scheduled to maximise time in nature.

On the water, expedition cruises are a standout way to access hard-to-reach coasts and the High Arctic. Small ships with zodiacs thread the fjords of Baffin Island, venture into Nunavut and, when ice permits, follow sections of the Northwest Passage. Along British Columbia’s inside passages, vessels and day boats reach whale-rich channels and bear-viewing inlets. Whether you travel by land, sea or a mix of both, we’ll match the logistics to your pace, season and interests.

[H3] Getting to Canada & Arctic Canada

[IMG: Getting to Canada & Arctic Canada]

From the UK and Europe, frequent flights reach major gateways including Vancouver (for Vancouver Island, Great Bear Rainforest, Haida Gwaii), Calgary (for Banff, Lake Louise, Jasper), Winnipeg (for Churchill), and St. John’s (for Newfoundland & Labrador). For High Arctic journeys, itineraries often route via Ottawa or Montreal to connect with scheduled charters into Nunavut and Baffin Island. We’ll align international arrivals and domestic links to make the most of your time on the ground.

For expedition travel, your adventure may begin beyond Canada’s shores. Some small-ship voyages embark in Greenland or Iceland and then cross into Canadian waters, exploring Baffin Island, Nunavut, and sections of the Northwest Passage. Others depart from Canadian ports to follow whale-rich Pacific channels or Arctic fjords. We’ll advise on the smoothest flight patterns and pre- or post-stays to match your route and season.

[H3] When to Visit

[IMG: When to Visit]

Seasonality shapes every Canadian journey. Summer to early autumn (June–September) brings long days, mild temperatures and peak access, making it prime for hiking the Rockies, whale watching around Vancouver Island, Great Bear Rainforest and Haida Gwaii, and navigating Arctic routes in Nunavut, Baffin Island and sections of the Northwest Passage. On the Atlantic edge, Newfoundland & Labrador sees icebergs in May to June and excellent whale and seabird activity in June to August. In Great Bear, salmon runs from August to October draw bears to the rivers.

Later in the year, the focus shifts. Churchill hosts belugas from July to August, then world-famous polar bear viewing from October to November. The Aurora Borealis are common there between February and March, and again in autumn. The Rockies transform from December to March for snow scenery and winter adventures, while coastal BC stays green and quiet for photography and storm watching. Northern lights are possible across the North from late August to March. Tell us your aspirations and we’ll match the region and month to your wish list.

[H3] Making Sure Your Journey Counts

[IMG: Making Sure Your Journey Counts]

Responsible travel sits at the heart of the WILDFOOT ethos and is especially vital in Canada’s coastal rainforests and the fragile Canadian Arctic. We work only with handpicked partners who share our standards of small-group travel, certified wildlife guides, safe-distance protocols, and tangible steps to reduce impact (lower-emission vessels, waste reduction, Leave No Trace etc.). For land-based adventures, that means lodges and guides who support habitat protection and salmon-stream stewardship so bear and whale encounters remain respectful and sustainable.

Across Nunavut, Baffin Island and the Northwest Passage, we prioritise community-led experiences with Inuit hosts, follow local landing guidelines, and favour small expedition ships that minimise disturbance while contributing to science and conservation. Your trip helps sustain jobs and guardianship programmes from Churchill to Newfoundland & Labrador, safeguarding wildlife, honouring Indigenous knowledge and keeping these landscapes thriving for generations.

[IMG: Bears, Bears, Bears]

From rainforest valleys to Arctic tundra, Canada is one of the world’s best places to see bears in the wild.

Bears, Bears, Bears

In British Columbia, grizzly and black bears (including the rare spirit bear) fish the salmon streams of the Great Bear Rainforest and roam the shores of Vancouver Island, best viewed with certified guides from small ships or secluded hides. Far to the north, Churchill, Manitoba offers responsible encounters with polar bears as they gather near Hudson Bay, with belugas in summer and aurora in the shoulder seasons adding even more magic to a bear-focused trip.

[IMG: Marine Wildlife]

From orcas to humpbacks and belugas to bowheads, Canada’s waters teem with life.

Marine Wildlife

Around Vancouver Island, Haida Gwaii and the Great Bear Rainforest, watch humpbacks (often bubble-net feeding), orca and grey whales in rich, sheltered channels. Farther north, summer brings belugas to Churchill, while select expeditions in Nunavut and around Baffin Island may encounter bowhead, walrus and occasionally narwhal, all viewed responsibly with expert guides.

[IMG: Legendary Routes]

Follow storied waterways where mountains meet ice and history meets wild, from Pacific fjords to the fabled channels of the High Arctic.

Legendary Routes

In summer, small expedition ships navigate Baffin Island, Nunavut and sections of the legendary Northwest Passage, using zodiacs to reach seabird cliffs, drifting ice and Inuit communities. Farther south, coastal voyages trace British Columbia’s inside passages to Vancouver Island, the Great Bear Rainforest and Haida Gwaii, prime for whales and rainforest shores. While on the Atlantic edge, Newfoundland & Labrador offers iceberg alley, lighthouse coasts and characterful outports. Each journey is as iconic as the next!

[IMG: Culture & Communities]

Discover the heartbeat of the North and step into communities shaped by sea, forest and ice for millennia.

Culture & Communities

Meet First Nations hosts in Haida Gwaii and along the Great Bear Rainforest, where art, language and cedar carving keep living traditions strong. In Nunavut and on Baffin Island, learn from Inuit guides about sea ice, wildlife and everyday life in the North. On the Atlantic edge of Newfoundland & Labrador, explore music filled outports and lighthouse coasts. Around Churchill, connect with local communities that share a powerful relationship with tundra, belugas and polar bears.

[H2] About the Falklands

Teeming with an array of wonderful wildlife, this region offers the perfect destination for a wildlife holiday. There are many itineraries to discover and they all provide the opportunity for you to see the incredible animal, bird and sealife the region has to offer. You can walk along the beaches to see Elephant Seals and Fur Seals go about their day, in and out of the sea, watched over by the resident nesting penguins. And, while all around you rare endemic birds, such as breeding Albatrosses and Giant Petrels peck in the long grasses of the shoreline, you can cast your eyes over the distant horizon and spot Orca and Dolphins. These incredible islands have plenty to offer in terms of wildlife spotting, but there are more things to see, do and explore during your visit. A Falkland Islands holiday has many other highlights and plenty of interesting attractions to discover. Why not indulge in the place’s rich history? Visit one of the battlefield sites, all of which make a thought-provoking visit, or, if you’re interested in Antarctic exploration, you can choose to take a trip to view Ernest Shackleton’s famous route map of the Imperial trans-Atlantic expedition of 1914-1917. This is considered to be the final expedition in what was called the Heroic Age of Antarctic Exploration. These islands are a bird watcher’s paradise and a favourite among photography enthusiasts as well. From the stunning scenery that unfolds around every corner, to the towering icebergs and idyllic beaches, the breath-taking vistas will stay with you long after you have left. The incredibly warm and welcoming hospitality that you will be shown by the local people everywhere you go completes a unique wildlife experience on a Falkland Islands holiday. Take a look at our suggested wildlife itineraries for inspiration when planning your trip to the region, or speak with one of our travel experts who has visited the area. Our team members are always happy to chat about their experience of this amazing part of the world, and their knowledge and familiarity will help you create a once in a lifetime trip that you will never forget.

My recent Expedition cruise on the Ocean Albatross exceeded my expectations. From the exceptionally professional, knowledgeable and most personable guides, to the ship’s hotel staff, everyone was focused on ensuring my cruise was all I expected and more. No request, no matter how small was always met with a smile. Bravo! When combined with the raw beauty of Greenland’s snow capped jagged mountains, to the iceberg dotted fjords, flower adorned valleys and colorful quaint towns, Greenland is a must for the out of the way travelers.

We visited Torres del Paine on a Puma watching safari in January on a trip organised by Wildfoot Travel. This was part of a trip which included Punta Arenas and Easter Island - the holiday of a lifetime without any doubt. This review is solely about Torres del Paine. The 3 day Puma safari involved my wife and I setting out very early before daybreak in a vehicle with a driver and a guide and following the expert Puma tracker Roberto who went ahead to spot the Pumas. Roberto I recognised from Frozen Planet II episode 4 where he had spotted for the BBC camera team. We were delighted to be with a TV star, and he was delighted we recognised him.

We had been concerned as to how much we would see as my wife only walks with a stick short distances. On the first day within an hour we were viewing the flamingos at Lake Armaga when we saw in a cave 5 Pumas which we watched as they settled down for a snooze after a night's hunting. Little walking was involved for superb views. After a couple of hours we went back to park HQ for a toilet break, and returned to find we had missed 4 more Pumas who had appeared from

[H3] Luxury Cruising

[IMG: Luxury Cruising]

One of the best ways to enjoy an Indian Ocean holiday is on a luxury cruise ship that will take you to discover many of the islands in one unforgettable trip. Travel in ultimate comfort and enjoy a range of included excursions, usually each day.

Wildfoot mostly uses Ponant and Silversea for these cruises. Both offer the height of luxury, with butler service, multiple onboard restaurants, luxury hotel stays pre-cruise and much more. They perfectly match the vision of the beach bungalows and luxury resorts for which this region is associated, but with these voyages you’re not confined to one place!

Read More

[H3] Expedition Cruising

[IMG: Expedition Cruising]

For a more intimate experience you may choose a smaller expedition ship. Although not boasting the luxuries of Ponant and Silversea, these expeditions offer just as memorable an experience. The smaller ships sometimes allow you to see more places than on a larger ship.

For example, Coral’s Coral Geographer ship has been built specially to access remote beaches, fishing ports and village piers that some larger ships can not reach.

Read More

[H3] When to Go

[IMG: When to Go]

With its lovely tropical climate, there’s absolutely no wrong time to visit and cruise on an Indian Ocean holiday. The months of January and February receive the highest rainfall, so if your plans are to lie on the beach all day, every day it might be best to avoid them.

[H3] Excursions/Seeing More

[IMG: Excursions/Seeing More]

All vessel-based trips/cruises we offer include a choice of excursions at each destination. Enjoy guided walks and hikes, visits to areas of interest, city tours, unforgettable shore visits, Zodiac cruises and more, or you can simply choose to watch from the ship.

Our guided hikes and tours are accompanied by reputable and experienced guides to ensure you get the very most out of the excursions at all times.

[H3] Choosing Which Islands to Visit

[IMG: Choosing Which Islands to Visit]

There are numerous islands you can choose to visit and all offer something unique and special, so choosing can be difficult. That’s why a) a cruise is such a good idea as you can visit a number of islands in one trip, and b) you should talk to us, the experts.

We can advise which of the islands might offer exactly what you are looking for. For example, if you’re interested in wildlife, then Madagascar is the spot, but if you just want to experience white sandy shores and laid back atmosphere, then the Seychelles are the first choice.

[IMG: Wildlife]

The islands are teeming with unusual wildlife, not only in Madagascar, Zanzibar and the Seychelles, but also in lesser known places like Pemba Island.

Wildlife

Throughout the region you’ll have the chance to see lemurs, giant tortoises and unusual species not found anywhere else. Largely untouched by tourism, the beautiful Pemba Island has stunning white-sand beaches and a vast array of marine life including barracudas and Manta rays. The Seychelles is home to a large population of giant tortoises, while in Madagascar, where between 80% and 90% of the species are native, the main attraction is always the cheeky and very cute lemurs. Made famous by the popular film franchise, although they can be seen all over the island, they are particularly prolific on Nosy Komba. In addition to lemurs, the birdlife is prolific and there’s a host of other very intriguing species that are only found here, including fossa, indris, sifakas and aye-aye.

[IMG: Idyllic Beaches and Islands]

As well as the idyllic beaches for which they’re renowned, a holiday to this part of the world allows you to explore the wild landscapes of places like Mauritius and Reunion.

Idyllic Beaches and Islands

While the Seychelles and the Maldives live up to their reputation for the most beautiful beaches in the world, lesser known places like the Scattered Islands are every bit as beautiful. Zanzibar, Reunion and Mauritius offer a very different kind of experience, with lush untamed landscapes and an authentic ambience.

[IMG: Diving and Swimming]

One of the biggest draws on an Indian Ocean holiday is the wonderful aquatic life, and many trips will offer diving or swimming as an activity.

Diving and Swimming

The incredible marine life of the region can be encountered in a wealth of different ways. Diving in the stunning waters of the Maldives you can get up close and personal to Manta rays, sea turtles, mahi-mahi, humphead wrasses and more. In the Seychelles a visit to the UNESCO protected Aldabra Atoll allows a very lucky few to get up close to the population of giant tortoises and it’s also a haven for birdlife. An absolutely memorable place to swim is Anse Source d’Argent beach on La Digue (in the Seychelles), a place that’s been called the most beautiful beach on the planet. With golden sands, crystal clear waters and the ubiquitous palm trees lining the shore, you can’t get much closer to perfection.

[IMG: UNESCO World Heritage Sites and Geological Wonders]

With a host of natural treasures and unique geological phenomena, the islands of this breathtakingly beautiful region provide endless fascination.

UNESCO World Heritage Sites and Geological Wonders

There are multiple UNESCO World Heritage sites to explore, including the dramatic landscape of Reunion with the dormant Piton des Neiges volcano in contrast to Piton de la Fournaises, which is one of the world’s most active! The Maldives is a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve and home to an astounding collection of coral reefs, while on Mauritius, the unique natural phenomena of the magnificent colours of the Chamarel Dunes and the Chamarel waterfall will leave a lasting memory.

[IMG: Unforgettable Experiences]

From a dusk safari, to swimming at the world’s most beautiful beach, to wandering the bazaars of Zanzibar, there are countless unforgettable experiences in store.

Unforgettable Experiences

Among many other things you’ll also have the chance to witness the incredible sight of the ancient trees of the Avenue of the Baobabs, in Madagascar, and enjoy the flavours of Creole cuisine in places like Reunion.

[IMG: Unique Towns and Cities]

??The unique ambience of the towns and cities is a joy to discover in places like Colombo, the bazaars of the Seychelles, ancient Galle and UNESCO listed Zanzibar.

Unique Towns and Cities

A visit to the Seychellois bazaar in the capital Mahé is a wonderful way to rub shoulders with the locals and get a taste of authentic life. Colombo, in Sri Lanka, delivers history and culture in a most tangible way with a stroll through the old quarter. A former trading post on the Spice Route, Colombo’s other side is its gorgeous beaches and crystal clear oceans. UNESCO-listed Galle has a fascinating colonial history and is one of Sri Lanka’s oldest cities and, while there, you can also visit the nearby Martin Wickramasinghe Folk Art Museum, in Koggala, for a slice of rural life. In Zanzibar, UNESCO-listed buildings and sites bear the influences of their Indian, African Arab and European heritage.
