Imagine kayaking among beluga whales, hiking through the ruins of old Viking towns, and trekking across the glaciers that characterize the Arctic. With our Adventure Options, you won't have to imagine. These tours are not for the weak of heart and require energy, but if you have the spirit then you will experience the northern tip of our globe in the most engaging ways possible. You will navigate the towering ice walls of Greenland's fjords in zodiacs and get up close with polar bears, walruses, and narwhals from Norway to Iceland and all the way to the great Northwest Passage. The Baffin Sea offers some of the most unique SCUBA diving, or you could learn how the ice tells us the geological story of our planet. We feature both cruises aboard comfortable yachts & small ships and a number of land tours. Contact us today.

Adventure Life took care of a lot of details for me because I flew separately and met up with the group at the start of the trip. On the return they dropped me off in Cantania and flew back to the UK as one group. I was the only American on the Exodus trip which was not a problem. Communication between the two companies was good.
