Float Down World-Famous Canals

If you have always dreamed of floating down the otherworldly canals in Venice, but have never had the chance to travel there yourself, you are in luck. Get a guided world tour aboard a gondola as you transverse the hallowed waterways of this historic city founded in 421 AD. You will drift under bridges and in-between buildings that were built centuries ago in this unforgettable place.

Journey Through a Breathtaking Rainforest

Soar above the canopy of the Amazon rainforest and walk among the dense vegetation and fascinating creatures that inhabit the world below the canopy. You can do both in Conservation International’s virtual presentation, Under the Canopy. The virtual experience offers insight through the eyes of a local inhabitant who lives in the rainforest, but more importantly, the presentation educates you about the importance of conserving this amazing, vital place.

Watch Whales Surface and Swim

The largest animal on planet Earth is also one of the gentlest – and you can see them in their natural habitat in this video of a wildlife tour in Victoria BC Canada. These amazing creatures are intriguing in many respects. Additionally, you’ll note the beauty of the coastline plus visit with experience sea lions in their habitat.

Dive Into an Enchanting Coral Reef

The coral reefs in Palau are a marvel. They make their home in exceptionally warm and acidic water that would be uninhabitable for many living creatures. These corals, however, thrive in it. Sadly, coral reefs have been disappearing and could eventually be at risk of extinction. But the mysterious Palau reefs offer hope that reefs and other forms of life could exist in ocean conditions predicted to occur in 50 years.

Witness a Spectacular Light Show

Few people have seen the breathtaking aurora borealis (commonly referred to as the Northern Lights). Now you can witness this fantastical phenomenon in all its glory by visiting taking a husky sled at dusk and then watching the Northern Lights.
