Let Nature Guide You into the New Year
Dear Nature Traveler, As one year ends and the promise of another unfolds, will you take a quiet moment to reflect with me? Close your eyes and return to a favorite nature travel memory… Maybe you’re deep in Costa Rica’s cloud forest, birds calling through the mist, cool air on your skin, catching a flash of turquoise as a resplendent quetzal flies past. Or perhaps you're recalling the soulful gaze of a mountain gorilla, an intelligent encounter with a gray whale, or a shared spark of curiosity with a polar bear. Nature reminds us to breathe, to find perspective and to remember what stirs the spirit. Glittering icebergs and star-filled skies. Shimmering auroras. Roaring waterfalls. Deep canyons, dense forests, vast savannas. Captivating creatures, from giant elephants to delicate butterflies. After the rush of the holidays, it feels grounding to pause and reconnect with the wild moments that linger, and to imagine creating more of them. No one offers you a more intimate immersion in nature than Nat Hab. With small groups averaging just 10 travelers, our trips are created to foster deeper connections. Our itineraries reach farther, and our expert naturalist guides reveal far more than you could discover on your own. This special New Year's Edition of our nature travel catalog is your invitation to begin anew—in the wild places that move you most. I hope to see you out there,
Ben Bressler Explorer, Founder, Conservationist • Natural Habitat Adventures

Conservation Through Exploration Travel with Purpose
You may know Nat Hab as a travel company, but we’re equally a conservation enterprise. Our mission is conservation through exploration: protecting our planet by inspiring travelers, supporting local communities, and boldly influencing the travel industry through innovative efforts to live more lightly on the Earth. Conservation travel helps nature and wildlife by bringing economic support to local people, encouraging sustainable stewardship of natural habitats. Our dollars provide incomes, education, ranger support, poaching patrols, support for schools and clinics, and hope for the future. Integral to our mission is our partnership with World Wildlife Fund. Since 2003, Nat Hab and our guests have given more than $45 million to WWF’s work to conserve Earth’s most precious and imperiled places. Learn More: nathab.com/conservation WWF’s membership travel program is operated by Natural Habitat Adventures (Nat Hab). To date, Nat Hab has provided more than $9 million in support of WWF’s mission and will continue to give 1% of gross sales plus $185,000 annually through 2028.

Empowering Local Communities to Protect Wild Places
Natural Habitat Adventures was launched in 1985, and we quickly began taking travelers to see baby harp seals in Quebec. We wanted to show local communities that ecotourism could bring a sustainable economic infusion, providing an alternative to hunting the adorable furry “whitecoats.” That model has remained at the heart of our company since. When people find an economic incentive to protect habitats and wildlife, it is perhaps the most powerful force for conservation that exists. Human-wildlife conflict is prevalent in many places. Yet when conservationminded scientists, NGOs and ecotourism operators work together with local communities, we can find solutions that protect livelihoods as well as natural resources and wildlife. When you travel with Nat Hab, you are part of this success story! Learn More: nathab.com/communities

Raising the Bar on
Sustainability
Through Commitment & Innovation Since Nat Hab became the world’s first 100% carbon-neutral travel company in 2007, we have kept a continual eye on shrinking our carbon footprint and pursuing greater transparency, including the launch of our Carbon Clear Vision program, which breaks down the carbon emissions on every trip. We are also investing in new technology initiatives such as Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) and Direct Air Capture. And we’ve signed on to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), a global climate action plan aimed at reaching net zero emissions. We strive to educate our staff, travelers, partners and suppliers through our partnership with WWF, with special climatefocused trips, and in our guide training. Our world still has a long way to go to reduce carbon output, but it’s an effort we are proud to help lead. Learn More: nathab.com/sustainability

Going Farther Afield to Get You Deeper into Nature
With Nat Hab, your adventure is anything but conventional. Our itineraries are designed to create exhilarating experiences for our guests while furthering our conservation mission. We get you deeper into wild realms, in more remote settings. And with the connections we’ve nurtured over decades, we offer you access to places and people you won’t get with other companies or on your own. Walk among wild brown bears in the roadless wilderness of Alaska’s Bear Coast. Stay among the herds as you witness Africa's Great Migration from our mobile tented camps. Voyage to the headwaters of the Amazon to explore one of the largest wildlife sanctuaries in South America, and look for whales in ice-choked fjords in East Greenland, where big ships can't go. Nat Hab gets you where others don’t! Learn More: nathab.com/itineraries

Nat Hab's Exclusive
Ships, Lodges, Camps & Innovations At Nat Hab, we’re committed to bringing you life-transforming encounters with nature. That’s why we’ve created our own collection of exclusive camps, ecolodges, small expedition ships and nature-viewing locations that get you farther out there, away from crowds and commercial tourism, where silence, wildlife and wonder reign. Whether you're at one of our secluded African safari camps watching animals at the waterhole, or peering into the wizened face of a giant tortoise at our private camp in the Galapagos, or watching the northern lights from our private auroraviewing locations in Churchill, with Nat Hab, you are immersed in nature!

Nat Hab's Naturalist
Expedition Leaders
Make a Great Trip Phenomenal As a nature traveler, you need more than an ordinary tour guide. A highly trained leader is essential, with in-depth knowledge of natural history, ecology and wildlife, well-honed tracking skills, and interpretive acumen. On a Photo Expedition, you need a naturalist guide who is a pro photographer and an adept instructor, offering personalized guidance to help you get the shots of a lifetime. At Nat Hab, our Expedition Leaders are second to none! Many hold advanced degrees and top-level certifications. With access to resources from WWF scientists, their commitment to conservation infuses all they do. Yet their expertise alone isn’t what earns them highest accolades from our travelers. Our guests also rave about their personalities and the personal care they provide. Simply put, our guides make all the difference! Learn More: nathab.com/leaders

The
Smallest Groups
for the Most Intimate Nature Encounters Not only does a small group ensure a lighter impact on the environment, it’s the only way to achieve quiet, close-up wildlife encounters. Our trips average just 8–10 guests, and many are guided by two Expedition Leaders. In some cases, we are also accompanied by highly qualified local guides. As a result, we’re often able to divide into even smaller groups for wildlife viewing, and to accommodate activities based on varying physical ability levels. A small group also allows flexibility and highly personalized attention from our Expedition Leaders. It enables us to access remote places and intimate lodgings offlimits to larger groups. Our trips often feel more like private gatherings than tours! Learn More: nathab.com/small-groups

Specialized Small Vehicles Enhance Comfort & Wildlife Viewing
We know the right vehicle is essential to a gratifying nature expedition. And we carefully choose the best and most comfortable transportation mode for each destination. Whether you’re searching for polar bears aboard a Polar Rover on the tundra or photographing Africa’s Great Migration from our open-sided safari trucks, our vehicles are designed to enhance your experience. We debuted our first electric safari vehicle in Botswana, achieving new strides in off-the-grid sustainability, and we've just introduced the first electric vehicle used for tourism in Peru. Smaller vehicles offer greater access to more remote places. And we never fill them to capacity. Everyone gets a window seat on wildlife excursions. Nat Hab Photo Expeditions have even fewer guests per vehicle, ensuring you can take all the equipment you need. Learn More: nathab.com/vehicles

Experience Is the Luxury
When You're Immersed in Nature When you travel with Nat Hab, the term luxury takes on new meaning. While our remote camps, small ships and ecolodges provide exceptional comfort and amenities, to us, luxury means something more. The real luxuries are rare, awe-inducing moments in nature that only a fortunate few will experience in their lifetime. Watch whales leap in the bay from our Base Camp Greenland. View wildebeest trundling past our private migration camps in East Africa. At Nat Hab’s Alaska Bear Camp, laugh at playful brown bear cubs as their mother grazes nearby. Our accommodations are distinctive and memorable in their own right. But the real luxury is how they connect you to the wild. You’ll discover that the moments you spend in nature with us redefine luxury...and they will redefine you forever. Learn More: nathab.com/camps-lodges

Africa Few places on Earth offer the primal encounters with wildlife you’ll find on our African safaris. Like catching the golden gaze of a lion, camouflaged in the tawny grass. Or watching dust billow from the hooves of thousands of wildebeest and zebra traversing the savanna. Or hearing a troop of mountain gorillas hoot, grunt and purr in the rainforest. To find these increasingly rare experiences, a small group is imperative, to move quietly and unobtrusively. Secluded small camps on private reserves provide proximity to abundant animals, far from crowds. And top-notch guides with extensive training and tracking skills ensure you’ll see and notice more. These are the features that define a truly exclusive safari—and that’s what you’ll find when you explore Africa with Nat Hab. Learn More: nathab.com/africa

Here on the southwest edge of Africa, orange sand dunes rise a thousand feet into the cobalt sky. Coastal desert is washed by the ocean, while the sun bakes the plains into a cracked puzzle of dried mud, pocked with enough grass to sustain desert rhinoceros and other rare species adapted to these daunting environs. Raptors survey arid canyons, and dry riverbeds run like veins across the landscape. There is water here, too, though its presence is subtle—remnants of fog that drift in from the sea, and waterholes in the stark Etosha salt pan that attract abundant game.

Zambia will stoke your sense of awe, as we encounter nature’s immensity on a scale that's rarely matched. About 40% of the country is preserved in parks and game reserves, offering an unparalleled wilderness experience without the crowds.

A host of predators, including the Mara’s abundant lions, follows in pursuit, ensuring their own survival by targeting weaker members of the herds. We find other iconic images of Africa, too: giraffes browsing in acacia trees, elephants traversing the savanna, and much more.

But hope glimmers, with concerted conservation efforts helping them step back from the brink.

Rhino Watch: Thwarting Poachers In the hush of the East African night, poachers once prevailed. Using darkness as cover, they hunted critically endangered black rhinos with ruthless efficiency. Armed with high-powered rifles, these criminals outmatched rangers who had only flashlights to defend the vulnerable species. The result was catastrophic: Africa’s black rhino population plunged from 70,000 in 1970 to fewer than 2,500 by 1995, driven to the edge of extinction by relentless covert slaughter. That changed in 2016, when WWF partnered with Teledyne FLIR—short for ForwardLooking Infrared—to level the playing field. Rangers in Kenya’s Lake Nakuru National Park and Maasai Mara National Reserve received thermal imaging equipment that allowed them to detect poachers at night. For the first time, they could see what had once been invisible. In just four years, rangers apprehended over 250 poachers, and in FLIR-patrolled areas, no rhinos were killed. This success led to the program’s 2019 expansion as Kifaru Rising—“kifaru” is Swahili for rhino. The initiative brought thermal technology to 11 rhino sites across Kenya, including Ol Pejeta Conservancy, home to the largest black rhino population in East Africa and a stop on Nat Hab’s Kenya Rhino & Elephant Conservation Safari. Outfitted with solar-powered systems, long-range thermal cameras and high-tech communications, Ol Pejeta became a model of modern anti-poaching strategy. Today, Kifaru Rising is credited with eliminating rhino poaching in FLIR-protected zones—saving rhinos, enhancing ranger safety and setting a new standard for wildlife protection worldwide.

Local Experts, Arctic Protection In 2024, World Wildlife Fund launched the Arctic Community Wildlife Grants Program, offering up to $25,000 for Indigenous- and locally led conservation projects that integrate traditional knowledge with scientific research. Grounded in the belief that local communities—already skilled stewards of their ecosystems—can enrich scientific inquiry, the program supports studies on wildlife and communities in the Bering, Chukchi and Beaufort seas. To date, the program has funded two initiatives: tracking beluga whales in the Yukon River and studying the effects of declining sea ice on walrus diets around St. Lawrence Island. In the first initiative (the program's pilot project), Yup’ik hunters in southwest Alaska’s Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta partnered with scientists to deploy acoustic monitors in the Yukon River—an area previously overlooked in beluga surveys. Though generations of hunters knew the whales migrated upriver, they lacked data to confirm it. This effort validated Indigenous observations and documented beluga presence in areas that Western science had not surveyed. The second project focuses on walruses near St. Lawrence Island, home to the Siberian Yupik communities of Gambell and Savoonga. Combining Indigenous knowledge with scientific analysis, researchers are collecting and studying walrus samples to understand dietary shifts linked to changing sea ice conditions. Local expertise is central to this research and data interpretation. Funding also supports gatherings between university scientists and Indigenous leaders to share findings, build relationships and foster long-term collaboration on Arctic marine conservation.

Polar Bears
of Churchill To come face to face with a wild polar bear on the tundra is a peak life experience—especially when you’re aware of their precarious future. Our small-group polar bear expeditions to Churchill, Manitoba, offer you more chances to see the King of the Arctic, in exceptional comfort and safety, than any other place on Earth. And you’re sure to go home an ambassador for their protection as you learn about the challenges polar bears and other northern wildlife face in a warming Arctic. Each fall, polar bears congregate on the western shore of Hudson Bay, waiting for the ice to form and seal-hunting season to begin. Aboard our custom Polar Rover tundra vehicles, we are there to witness them, on a nature encounter that has no peer on the planet! Learn More: nathab.com/polar-bears

See Bears Directly Below See-through steel mesh decking on the outside platform allows us to come within inches of bears if they wander beneath—a feature of our vehicles alone.
Convenient Facilities No smelly drop bucket that needs emptying—we have installed flush toilets on board to ensure your comfort when you need to heed nature’s call.
Ride High Over the Tundra Huge 6-foot tundra tires lift us safely above the bears while providing a comfortable ride over the uneven tundra terrain.

But not as much as the sight of the huge polar bear ambling toward us. Sometimes they are silhouetted against the horizon, slowly moving shadows on the tundra. Other times, we'll see a mother with cubs, or young males play-fighting. Occasionally, one wanders up directly below us. Safely elevated, you're nonetheless just feet away as you look down on his shaggy bulk. The big bear rises on his haunches to peer up at us. We watch with awe, savoring one of nature's most wondrous wildlife encounters.

Canada Canada’s vast northern latitudes host some of Earth’s most extraordinary natural spectacles. In the dark winter skies above Churchill, the aurora borealis shimmers over frozen Hudson Bay—the best place on Earth to view the northern lights. Come summer, the tundra awakens with roving polar bears and caribou, while beluga whales congregate in the Churchill River. On the Atlantic coast, more than 10,000 humpbacks feed in the waters off Newfoundland and Labrador. Grizzlies, wolves and spirit bears feast along the salmon-rich rivers of British Columbia, while the misty islands of Haida Gwaii shelter black bears, river otters and bald eagles. In the Canadian Rockies, bighorn sheep and mountain goats perch on craggy cliffs. On our Canada adventures, you’ll witness all these wildlife wonders at close range! Learn More: nathab.com/canada

U.S. National Parks Wallace Stegner called our national parks “America’s best idea,” and we agree. Yellowstone, the world's first national park, is exemplary. In summer, bison and elk graze golden meadows where wolves roam and geysers rocket into the blue sky. Come winter, the park is a snowy wonderland, offering rare solitude and rich wildlife encounters against a tableau of steaming springs and frosted forests. Other U.S. park adventures take you from the rim of the Grand Canyon to sunrise atop Acadia’s Cadillac Mountain. America's national parks are more popular than ever, though, and that’s why our trips focus on quiet nature immersions led by expert naturalist guides whose insider knowledge and local connections elevate your experience. With Nat Hab, you’ll discover the country’s “best idea” in the very best way. Learn More: nathab.com/us-parks

Close & Safe Wildlife Encounters
A wireless headset lets our Expedition Leader simultaneously drive and interpret. Acoustically excellent, the headset works even from outside the van.
Long days can gobble battery power, but with USB and USB-C outlets in each row, you can keep your devices charged throughout the journey.
The national park paradox: wildlife can be so close that it’s unsafe to leave the vehicle. Pop the top, though, and we can be near animals without risk.
Our custom North America Safari Cruisers redefine small-group nature travel with roof hatches or electric pop-top roofs for unobstructed wildlife viewing. Leather-like bucket seats, standing platforms and other distinctive features enhance your comfort and experience.
Secure Storage & Platforms
Window Seats for All
Reinforced storage bins safeguard camera equipment and double as solid footing for those who want a boost to view wildlife from the open roof.
With eight faux leather captain’s chairs in rows of two, every seat is the “best.” A console in each row divides chairs, and arm rests add comfort.
Rugged Luxury
Safety First
Climate Control
Highly customized, our vans offer the best of both worlds: an expeditionready exterior and a luxurious interior for unrivaled comfort.
We use all-terrain tires in the summer and 4x4/AWD with the best ice-tested tires in winter. All custom work is certified and DOT-compliant.
Auxiliary air conditioning and heating allows each passenger to adjust the air flow at their seat for comfort and to prevent window fog or frost.

The Galapagos Islands There may be no nature destination on the planet as unique as the Galapagos Islands, where wild animals found nowhere else show no fear of humans. Named for its famous giant tortoises, the Galapagos teems with intriguing creatures, from playful sea lions that do barrel rolls around us as we snorkel to blue-footed boobies that entertain us with their whimsical courtship dance. It’s as if we have discovered a menagerie from an ancient Eden. Our naturalistled adventures offer the consummate immersion in this wondrous realm. Our groups are the smallest. Our guides are the most experienced, with two Expedition Leaders for every group of 14– 16 guests. Our privately chartered yachts offer exceptional comfort and amenities. And every trip includes an overnight at our private Tortoise Camp. Learn More: nathab.com/galapagos

As we enter a grove of fir trees on a remote mountaintop, the trunks and branches appear to be covered in quivering autumn leaves. Then, as the sun emerges from behind a cloud to warm them, hundreds of thousands of monarchs take to the sky in a fluttering cloud of orange—so many that we actually hear the beating of their wings!

Monarchs Make a Comeback In early winter 2025, scientists reported a striking rise in the eastern monarch butterfly population. According to a survey by WWF and Mexico’s National Commission of Protected Natural Areas, monarchs occupied 1.79 hectares— about 4.4 acres—of forest during the 2024–2025 winter season, nearly double the 0.9 hectares recorded the year before. Though monarch populations remain far below the long-term average, this increase offers a bright spot for a species in long-term decline. Monarch butterflies play a crucial role as pollinators and are a key link in the food web. Their 3,000-mile migration from North America to central Mexico is among the most remarkable journeys in the animal kingdom. Researchers attribute the population boost to favorable weather during migration and conservation efforts. Across North America, communities have planted native milkweed and nectar-rich flowers, reduced pesticide use and restored habitat. In Mexico’s Monarch Butterfly Biosphere Reserve, local communities’ involvement with sustainable forest management is offering a safer shelter at the butterflies’ overwintering sites. Still, scientists urge caution. One strong year doesn’t mean the species is out of danger. The population remains below the threshold for long-term survival, and threats like habitat loss, climate disruption and industrial agriculture persist. Monarchs continue to inspire, and the coordinated efforts behind their return offer a powerful example for protecting other migratory species. Their comeback shows what’s possible when conservation is unified and sustained over time. Learn More: wwf.travel/monarchs

With our open safari vehicles limited to just four travelers, our presence is understated…and the views unimpeded! Tadoba is home to more than tigers, too: look for sloth bear, civet, Asiatic wild dog, gaur, barking deer, leopard, crocodile, caracal, jackal, striped hyena, mongoose, langur monkeys and more.

and exclusive access, our remote wild destinations, exceptionally small groups and highly qualified naturalist Expedition Leaders. But, should you come across a matching itinerary of our quality at a lower price, even within 30 days after booking with us, we will refund the difference. Rest Assured ... We Won’t Cancel! While many companies often cancel trips due to low enrollment, we don’t! This policy applies to all Nat Hab trips and gives our travelers security and peace of mind in knowing your travel plans are virtually guaranteed. In the event circumstances outside our control force us to cancel, we will do our best to rebook you on a departure that works for you. Trip Prices Trip prices listed in this catalog are valid at the time of printing. Costs for services in the remote areas we travel to can change throughout the year, so small changes in price and itineraries may occur and will be reflected in updates on our website. All trip prices are in U.S. dollars. Trip Inclusions Each itinerary includes a variety of features and elements unique to that specific adventure. Please consult the individual trip pages on our website for a full list of inclusions and exclusions for the trip of your choice. Deposits Most of our trips require a $500 deposit to reserve your space. The exact deposit amount for each trip, along with the cancellation policy for that trip, is listed on the individual trip pages on our website. Your deposit can be made by Visa, MasterCard, Discover, or American Express. Final Payment Final payment for most trips is due 120 days prior to departure. On rare occasions, a select trip may require final payment earlier. Please consult the specific trip page on our website for details. For your convenience, your final balance will be charged to your credit card on the final balance-due date, unless you make your own final payment online via your Adventure Portal or indicate in writing prior to the final balance-due date that you would prefer to pay by alternate means. If payment is not received by the final balance-due date, your reservation is subject to cancellation. Booking Conditions & Forms When you book one of our adventures, you agree to sign our Guest Trip Agreement, which states that you and your party have read and understood the important information in our Terms & Conditions and our Guest Trip Agreement, including a release of liability and assumption of risk, and agree not to sue Nat Hab or its affiliates, participating
agents or representatives. On payment of a deposit, you agree to be bound by our Terms & Conditions. We require that these forms, including your completed Booking Form and Guest Trip Agreement, are submitted within 14 days of making your initial booking and deposit. Failure to do so may result in the cancellation of your booking with no refund beyond that which is listed in our cancellation policy. Physical Requirements Our trips are intended for individuals in good physical and mental health, with reasonably good mobility. The Physical Requirements section on each trip page on our website provides important information regarding the physical expectations for that trip. Please read this information carefully. In order to provide a fulfilling experience for all travelers, we must ensure that you are able to perform the required physical activities for your chosen trip, determined solely at Nat Hab’s discretion. Certain trips may require that you obtain medical approval before departure, and Nat Hab reserves the right to request additional medical information and/or a physical examination prior to or during your trip as a condition of your participation. Additionally, Nat Hab reserves the right to prohibit you from joining or continuing on a trip if, in our opinion, your physical, emotional or behavioral limitations or actions pose or could pose a threat to your safety or enjoyment, or that of other guests or staff, or to the safety of wildlife. In the event you are not permitted to join a trip or are asked to leave a trip in progress as a result, there will be no refund of any portion of the trip price, used or unused, beyond that listed in our cancellation policy nor will Nat Hab be responsible for additional expenses that you incur. Your Confirmation Documents & Pre-Departure Briefing Upon booking, you will receive a confirmation email and a link to your customized Adventure Portal, which hosts initial documents, including your invoice, trip forms, air travel information, visa and vaccination requirements (if any), and more. Approximately one to two months prior to departure, you will receive a comprehensive PreDeparture Briefing with details about the trip, destination, history and wildlife of the region, what to pack and how best to prepare. We can send your Pre-Departure Briefing electronically if you indicate this preference, or it can be found on your Adventure Portal. Trip Cancellation & Refund Policy We understand how disappointing it can be if you are forced to cancel or change your long-anticipated adventure. But we, too, plan far ahead before each departure and continuously send nonrefundable payments to hotels and other suppliers. Therefore, we must strictly adhere to our cancellation and trip change
policy for all travelers. We strongly suggest purchasing travel insurance† to help protect your trip payments in the event you must cancel or otherwise change your plans due to one of the listed covered reasons. The following are the terms of our cancellation and trip change policy: • All cancellations processed 121 or more calendar days prior to departure will incur a $100 cancellation fee per person. Some trips and extensions have nonrefundable deposits. Please consult the specific trip page on our website for details. • Cancellations made 61 to 120 calendar days prior to departure are assessed a cancellation fee of 50% of the entire trip price, including internal air, extensions and extra services such as hotel nights. • Cancellations made 60 calendar days or less prior to departure are assessed a cancellation fee of 100% of the trip price, including internal air, extensions and extra services such as hotel nights. • Guests traveling on Adventure Cruises must adhere to the payment requirements, cancellation policies and terms and conditions set by the ship owner/operator. • Custom-designed trips and extensions require a 25% nonrefundable deposit and follow our standard cancellation and trip change policy unless otherwise stated. • Deposits for a private booking of a scheduled trip or extension where a guest has reserved the entire or partial departure through our Make It Private program are double the listed individual trip and extension deposit amount and are nonrefundable. • Our Sailing Antarctica adventure has a different policy. Please call us for details. All cancellations and trip change requests must be made in writing by mail or by email and received and acknowledged by Nat Hab. Travel insurance purchased through Nat Hab is completely nonrefundable after the 10-day review period. In the event either Nat Hab or the guest changes, reschedules or rebooks a trip or extension, including custom-designed trips and custom-designed extensions, for any reason, including, but not limited to, force majeure, the cancellation and trip change policy as of the date of the original booking shall remain in full force and effect. For example, for any cancellation or trip change received between 61 to 120 calendar days prior to the departure of the originally booked date, a fee of 50% of the entire trip price, including extensions, will apply for the revised date regardless of the lead time of a cancellation of the revised departure date. Similarly, cancellations or trip changes received less than 60 calendar days prior to the original departure date shall be assessed a fee of 100% of the trip price, including any extensions,
regardless of the lead time of a cancellation of the revised departure date. Travel Insurance† To help protect your financial liability, we strongly suggest purchasing travel insurance. Nat Hab has arranged a plan with Arch Insurance Company designed specifically for our guests. Please see the Traveler Resources page on our website for details. We will include the cost of the Natural Habitat Comprehensive Travel Protection Plan option along with detailed information about coverage on your Adventure Portal. Nat Hab asks for your written confirmation of intent to purchase, or confirmation that you decline to purchase, such travel insurance. All insurance purchased is nonrefundable after the 10-day review period. Medical evacuation insurance, either purchased through Nat Hab as a part of the Natural Habitat Comprehensive Travel Protection Plan or on its own, or through a third party, is required for some of our trips. Please consult the Dates, Prices & Info section of each individual trip page on our website. †The travel insurance coverage we offer is currently underwritten by Arch Insurance Company, NAIC#11150, and policies are administered by Arch Insurance Solutions Inc. A full description of coverage is available online at naturalhabitat.archinsurancesolutions.com and you may contact Arch Insurance Solutions Inc. at 1-844-872-4163 if you have questions. The travel insurance coverage we offer is subject to change. For the most up-to-date information, visit nathab.com/terms. Getting to or from a Nat Hab Trip Nat Hab guests are responsible for getting to and from the start and end points of their trip, which includes abiding by all government entry and exit requirements, including those related to COVID-19 and visas, and for arriving by the designated start time on the first day of the trip. Should guests be delayed for any reason in getting to or departing from a trip, or must leave a trip early, Nat Hab is not liable for any additional costs incurred in joining or leaving the trip (such as costs for accommodations or transportation), nor will guests receive a refund for any missed portion of the trip as a result of late arrival, early departure, quarantine or other illness. Visit nathab.com/health for the most up-to-date health- and safety-related protocols. Nat Hab’s Travel Desk As an exclusive service for our guests, Nat Hab offers a full-service Travel Desk that is available to assist you in purchasing international (and Alaska) air tickets and certain hotel reservations. Please note that Nat Hab’s Travel Desk does not book flights within the continental United States or Canada and cannot book flights with airline miles. Please call our office at 800-543-8917 for more details.
Document Requirements & Vaccinations In order to join a Nat Hab trip, you are responsible for obtaining and maintaining all required documents and vaccinations and accepting and following all health and safety protocols, which may be found at nathab.com/ plan-trip. These can include, but are not limited to, valid passports, visas and vaccinations. Additionally, you are responsible for knowing and meeting the entry and transit requirements of all countries you will be visiting or traveling through in relation to your trip. For current passport and visa requirements, please visit travel.state.gov as well as individual country websites and/or embassies in the countries visited. For up-to-date vaccine information, please visit cdc.gov/travel. For individual country entry requirements, please visit the individual country websites and/or embassies. Single Travelers We encourage single travelers to join us! If you are traveling on your own, you can request either a single room or a roommate match. Single-room accommodations are subject to a single-room surcharge, which guarantees a private room without a roommate (where available). See individual trip pages on our website for pricing details. In order to keep our single-room surcharges as low as possible, on occasion, single rooms may be smaller than double-occupancy rooms. Single-room accommodations are not available on all trips. Additionally, we cannot always guarantee single accommodations, even after reservations and confirmations have been made. If you request a roommate match, we will do our best to find a same-sex roommate; however, if we cannot arrange a match, you will not be charged a single-room surcharge. Please consult specific trip pages on our website for details. On all custom-designed trips, 100% of the single-room surcharge will always apply, as there is no opportunity to arrange a roommate match. Family Travel & Age Limits Nat Hab welcomes families on certain trips and offers select scheduled family departures. On certain trips and most family departures, children 6 years and older are welcome. Due to safety regulations, physical limitations and concerns regarding group dynamics, we do not allow children younger than 6 on our trips. Additionally, some trips, or specific activities within a trip, have higher minimum age requirements. We strongly encourage you to call our office to speak with an Adventure Specialist about the specific requirements of the trip you’re considering so you can make an informed decision about your child’s participation. On all trips, the parent or legal guardian of children under age 18 must sign the Minor Permission Waiver requiring guardians to ensure that children in their care do not place themselves, other guests, staff or wildlife in harm’s way, or jeopardize the enjoyment of the trip for the group as a whole.
Language Policy All of Nat Hab’s trips are conducted in English. You must have a proficient understanding of the English language in order to fully enjoy all aspects of the adventure and, most importantly, to fully understand all rules and safety instructions provided by the Expedition Leader(s). We are unable to provide translated pre-trip materials or translators during the trip. Dietary Restrictions & Allergies With ample notice, Nat Hab can generally accommodate common dietary restrictions on most of our trips, such as vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free (though it may not be possible to accommodate celiac disease—please ask an Adventure Specialist for more information), though limitations on food variety may exist. However, given the nature of adventure travel, and the often-remote nature of our trips, Nat Hab cannot guarantee that allergens or items on your restriction list will not be present at restaurants, accommodations or elsewhere during a trip. Ultimately, you must take responsibility for your own health and safety and understand that we cannot guarantee against cross-contamination or airborne transmission of allergens during the trip.
