Explorers' Edge Competitors

At the Wildlife Conservation Society, we harness the power of our zoos and aquarium in New York City and our field conservation work around the globe to save wildlife and wild places. Our model: connecting millions of visitors at our urban wildlife parks with the largest and longest-standing field conservation program. In New York, we run the leading zoo in the US, the Bronx Zoo, as well as the Central Park Zoo, Queens Zoo, Prospect Park Zoo, and the New York Aquarium. We also employ the largest field-based conservation program, operating in more than 50 countries. These two activities are deeply connected and mutually supportive.

Adventure Canada is a family-run travel company with more than thirty years’ experience specializing in small-ship cruises to the world’s more remote coastlines. We engage, educate, and entertain by connecting people to each other and the land through travel. We travel to the best places, with the best people, in the best way. Our pioneering approach to expedition cruises and small-group experiences emphasizes wildlife, culture, learning, and fun. By travelling with local experts, learned scholars, scientists, artists, and expedition specialists, we hope to help our clients open their minds and hearts. We know we’ve succeeded when our clients become ambassadors for the places we visit, the cultures we get to know, the animals and the environment we appreciate along the way—and the planet itself! We build our expedition team around the knowledge and experience of a team of culturalists, many of whom call the regions to which we travel their homes. With their guidance, we gain locals’ perspective while giving back to communities.
