Leisurely

Turning away from the icy reaches of the High Arctic, your ship will steer you south through the Hinlopen Strait, whose vast cliffs are home to thousands of seabirds, from Brunnich’s guillemots, to kittiwakes and black guillemots. The vast volume of water that rushes through the straits poses a challenge for the Zodiacs, but the expert captains can get you close to the cliffs for prime viewing position. Cruise past the stunning ice floes of Lomfjordshalvøya before coming ashore to explore the tundra of Nordaustlandet, looking out for reindeer, pink-footed geese, and walruses.

Ria Santamaria

South & Central America Specialist

I have experienced iconic travel adventures, such as going on safari in Botswana, marvelling at the aurora borealis in Iceland, celebrating the Carnevale in Venice, walking the Camino de Santiago route from Portugal to Spain, trekking the Inca trail to reach Machu Picchu and marvelling at the stars from Salar de Uyuni while camping out of an Airstream. As of late, most of my holidays have involved the outdoors and nature and I have an ongoing love affair with Patagonia. Choosing to work at Scott Dunn was borne from an epiphany that since travel has done so much to enrich my life, I am most passionate about endorsing these experiences to others.
