Set far beyond New Zealand’s mainland, scattered
across the restless expanse of the Southern Ocean,
lies one of the most remarkable wildlife regions on
Earth. The Subantarctic Islands — Snares, Bounty,
Antipodes, Auckland, Campbell, Macquarie and the
Chatham archipelago — are as evocative as they are
remote. For birders, their names alone carry a certain
magic; for wildlife enthusiasts, they represent a rare
opportunity to experience nature on an extraordinary
scale, in places few ever reach.
For our exclusive Festival of Wildlife 2029, Wildlife Worldwide has
carefully created this remarkable voyage to showcase
the very best of the Subantarctic Islands, combining
the operational expertise of our partner, Heritage
Expeditions with our own exceptional team of
leaders.
Highlights
