On World Whale Day, we celebrate the giants who keep our oceans — and our planet — alive.
Whales are more than awe-inspiring wildlife. They are ecosystem engineers. From nutrient cycling that supports entire marine food webs to their powerful role in carbon sequestration (often called “whale pump” and “whale fall”), whales help regulate the very climate we all depend on.
There’s hope in the water.
This past year brought encouraging news: continued population growth of humpbacks along the U.S. West Coast, strong calving numbers among North Atlantic right whales, and expanded marine protections in key migration corridors. Global collaboration to reduce ship strikes and entanglement is gaining traction — proof that when policy, science, and public support align, recovery is possible.
Whales remind us that restoration is real.
When we protect the ocean, life returns. 🌊💙

Simply having a wonderful Christmas… Bird Count time! 🎄🐦�

Have you had a chance to join a Christmas Bird Count yet this season? These counts are a fun, welcoming way to spend a winter day outdoors, learn from fellow birders, and contribute to long-term bird conservation.

Here are a few photos of some of our team enjoying their local counts this past weekend—proof that birding makes for a pretty great day off. If you haven’t joined one yet, there’s still time to participate!

Today is Colorado Gives Day, our biggest giving day of the year! Although our trips explore the world, we’re rooted here in Colorado, and we care deeply about supporting conservation work in the place we call home.

Every one of our trips includes a built-in conservation donation, so simply by traveling with us, our guests help make this possible.

This year, we’re directing these contributions to Audubon Rockies, Bird Conservancy of the Rockies, Butterfly Pavilion, Denver Audubon, Denver Botanic Gardens, and Southern Plains Land Trust. We’re truly grateful to our travelers for helping us support this work and excited to give back today.

Day 2 of our Wildlife Wonders of Yellowstone trip started with rain—lots of it. But a little weather never slows this group down. Before long, we were climbing to a ridge in search of the Junction Butte wolf pack. Four playful pups and an adult pack member delivered on the group’s “wolves, plural” request. Add in great looks at a bull moose and a surprise dusky grouse, and the day was already a win. How do you wrap up a rainy day in Yellowstone? With a rainbow, of course

🦋 — CBS’s 60 Minutes is re-airing its powerful feature on monarch butterflies tonight.

The segment, hosted by Anderson Cooper, takes you deep into Mexico’s oyamel fir forests — the monarchs’ wintering grounds and home to one of the world's most awe-inspiring wildlife spectacles.

Tune in, be inspired, and then join us in experiencing this natural wonder firsthand. We have several trips featuring Mexico's monarch butterflies planned in 2026.
