An incredible humpback whale encounter in the Cook Islands.

Named after their shape as they dive under the surface, humpback whales are very acrobatic often breaching high out of the water, spy-hopping and lob-tailing, e.g. slapping the surface of the water with their tails creating a loud smack.

Swimming alongside these magnificent animals, with just a snorkel, is a fascinating privilege. And one that our Destination Specialist Thalia experienced during her recent encounter featured in this short clip.

Ask us about our 2027 departure dates to Swim with Humpback Whales in the Cook Islands and our team can help secure you the opportunity to experience something special.

Sounds of Svalbard
 
Standing on the deck at the heart of the icy wilderness, before your eyes have time to land on movement, you hear the water splash as a whale breaks the surface.

Svalbard is a stunning environment to witness, but it is not just the views that make it special.
 
Whether it is the calm lapping of water against the ice, or the howl of snowy wind in a blizzard, the sounds of Svalbard can ground you in this unique space away from civilization.

There are few places on Earth that can truly be described as untouched. The Ennedi Desert of Chad is one of them.

A vast expanse of sandstone massifs, surreal arches, labyrinthine canyons and ancient rock art that whispers of millennia gone by.

In November 2023, travelled to Ennedi and experienced something harsh, beautiful and real.

Ennedi may not be for everyone but something about Ennedi stuck with Will.

By reading his immersive notes at naked-i.com, you will truly understand what makes this place authentic and unique.

If you find yourself drawn to the desert embrace, visit the link in our bio to make an enquiry for your own Ennedi Exploration, or DM us.

Clean Up Svalbard (Images 2&3)

For over 20 years, Clean Up Svalbard has encouraged inhabitants and visitors to pick up marine debris when visiting the coast. Expedition ships remove around 3-4 tonnes of waste every season. At NWS we are proud that our expeditions have been a part of these efforts.

Image 3 shows such rubbish collected on one of our recent safaris. While these efforts have certainly made a difference, reducing waste production at the human level is the key to truly stopping the damage being caused.

Dominica Whales With Patrick Dykstra (Images 4&5)

Our Dominica S***m Whale safaris with Patrick Dykstra, known for his deep connection to these gentle giants, puts the wellbeing of the whales first. With over 200 days each year spent in the water with whales, Patrick and our team set the gold standard for responsible marine safaris.

With a minimal number of people on each departure, we ensure our presence causes as little disturbance as possible. The real impact is on the people who experience these safaris, who come away with a greater sense of awareness and empathy for s***m whales.

AECO (Images 6&7)

At NWS we are proud members of AECO (Association of Arctic Expedition Cruise Operators). By adhering to the highest standards of sensitive tourism, we help to protect fragile ecosystems while fostering a deeper understanding of polar conservation.

This is just a small insight into our efforts and commitments to more sustainable ocean tourism practices.

Safari began in Kenya.

Not the modern safari, but the original idea of venturing into wild places in search of something extraordinary.
 
These are four of our favourite places to experience it…
 
Images 2-3: House in the Wild
 
Positioned on a private stretch of the Mara River, it offers a front-row seat to the Great Wildebeest Migration away from the crowds. Beautiful gardens, charming cottages and exceptional guiding create an atmosphere more reminiscent of a private estate than a safari camp.
 
Images 4-5: Suyian Lodge
 
At Suyian, the wilderness isn’t something you drive through. It’s something you move through. Ride horseback across the conservancy, track wildlife on foot, mountain bike through remote valleys or spend an afternoon watching elephants drift past from your private plunge pool.
 
Images 6-7: Borana Lodge
 
Rhino are one of Africa’s great conservation success stories, and few places showcase that story better than Borana. Today, black and white rhinos roam across a vast protected landscape surrounding the lodge, perched perfectly on the overlooking hillside. 

 
Images 8-9: Segera
 
Segera has quietly redefined what a safari lodge can be. Set across 50,000 acres of private wilderness, it blends exceptional wildlife viewing with contemporary African art, ambitious rewilding projects and some of the most sophisticated accommodation in East Africa.
 
Want to go deeper?
 
Space for Giants offers rare access to conservation in action.

Working across East Africa to protect elephant populations and secure vital wildlife corridors, the organisation sits at the forefront of modern conservation. Have the opportunity to witness elephant collaring operations, meet field teams and learn how tracking technology is helping shape the future of wildlife protection.

From Space to Svalbard – ice has an almost otherworldly quality…
 
On our special 2027 Astronaut Expedition to Svalbard, you can see the vastness of space mirrored in our icy Arctic expanse.
 
In space, ‘amorphous’ ice can be found on interstellar clouds, icy moons and even comets. Unlike our ice, amorphous ice is disorganised, structured in a way that closer resembles water.
 
Strangely, recent research suggests there may be some ‘memory’ to amorphous ice, and its ‘disorganised’ structure may not be so discordant after all…
 
On Earth, though our ice may be different, it preserves memories too, in its own way. Through freezing and preserving snapshots of time that might otherwise be lost, ice creates a catalogue of Earth’s history for generations to come.
 
From carved blue ice monuments to the pack ice slowly shifting on the water’s surface, ice in Svalbard has a remarkably timeless and extra-terrestrial feeling.

You may not leave our atmosphere but a visit to Svalbard is truly an expedition into another world… And with the experienced eyes of an astronaut, you can truly learn to appreciate the quiet unknown.
 
Adventure with an Astronaut to the Arctic is a single departure to Svalbard for just 12 guests, led by astronaut Nicole Stott ( ) and astronaut wrangler Christina Korp ( ).

Together, both specialist leaders bring something rare. Not just insight, but interpretation. A way of seeing, that shifts how you experience the world around you and where two works meet, space and the frozen Arctic north.

✉️ Comment/DM with the word ‘ASTRONAUT’ to receive more information about this 2027 Expedition or simply contact us via our website (link in bio) and one of our destination specialists will be happy to assist

On the Trail of Lemurs & Lost Worlds: The Final Small Group Departure for 2027

Imagine the sights & sounds of a rainforest before sunrise as the calls of indri echo through the canopy, a Verreaux’s sifakas cross sandstone canyons with their strange sideways dance, and chameleons no larger than your thumb disappear completely into the forest around it.

No other place on Earth evolved quite like Madagascar. Separated from mainland Africa for millions of years, the island became a world of its own, shaped by endemic wildlife found nowhere else on the planet.

In Andasibe, indri move through the mist-covered rainforest canopy, their haunting calls carrying enormous distances through the forest at dawn. Ranomafana offers the chance to search for the critically endangered golden bamboo lemur, one of the rarest primates on Earth. Further south, ring-tailed lemurs sun themselves across warm granite and sandstone formations near Anja Reserve and Isalo National Park.

For travellers drawn to rare wildlife, endemic species and journeys that still feel genuinely exploratory, there are very few places left like Madagascar, and extremely limited spaces on our final 2027 small group departure.

✉️ DM us for more information and we'll help secure your spot! Or we can create a tailor-made adventure in Madagascar!
