Embark on a journey to the remote and enchanting The Snares, part of New Zealand's Subantarctic Islands, with our 3 exceptional whale-watching tours for 2024. These islands, often referred to as the 'Galapagos of the Southern Ocean,' offer a sanctuary for an abundance of marine life, including the majestic whales that grace these waters. Over the course of 12 to 28 days, you will have the opportunity to engage in whale watching, witness a myriad of endemic bird species, and appreciate the rich biodiversity that thrives in this pristine environment. The Snares are untouched by human hands, making every encounter with wildlife a moment of pure, unfiltered connection with nature. Starting at $9,990, these tours promise not only sightings of these gentle giants but also an educational experience that deepens your understanding of the delicate Southern Ocean ecosystem.
