Natural Habitat Adventures

ABOUT

Natural Habitat Adventures (Nat Hab), founded in 1985 by Ben Bressler, is a leading company in responsible adventure travel and ecotourism. The company specializes in nature-focused, small-group expeditions that offer close-up encounters with wildlife in some of the world's most remarkable natural destinations. Their portfolio includes approximately 100 adventures worldwide, ranging from polar bear tours in Churchill, Canada, to Galapagos Islands cruises, African safaris, and Alaska grizzly bear encounters.

Natural Habitat Adventures stands out as a leader in sustainable travel, becoming the world’s first 100% carbon-neutral travel company in 2007. Their strong conservation ethic is reflected in every aspect of their tours, from small group sizes (averaging just nine guests) to minimizing environmental impact and maximizing intimate wildlife encounters. Nat Hab’s highly trained Expedition Leaders, who are expert naturalists, guide travelers through unique itineraries that often access private reserves and remote regions rarely visited by typical tourists. Since 2003, they have partnered exclusively with World Wildlife Fund (WWF), collaborating on conservation-focused trips and supporting global conservation goals while ensuring that tourism provides real economic benefits to local communities and helps preserve natural habitats.

Nat Hab continues to innovate with offerings such as the Aurora Pod for Northern Lights viewing and Base Camp Greenland for Arctic explorations. Their diverse range of trips includes classic wildlife adventures, specialized photo expeditions led by professional photographers, family-friendly journeys tailored for all ages, and fully customized or private trips for exclusive groups. This combination of pioneering sustainability, expert guidance, thoughtful itineraries, and community-centered philosophy makes Natural Habitat Adventures a distinctive choice for travelers seeking meaningful, eco-friendly experiences in nature.
