November to March is the summer in Antarctica, which allows the ships passage through the melted ice and allows you to enjoy viewing the unique wildlife during the longer daylight hours. Wildlife spotting in the Arctic is better between June and August when land animals are more active, while later summer months give the opportunity to spot the Aurora Borealis if you’re lucky.

Accent on Travel Client Review
Hi Kristen, We sure did have an awesome trip all around. We definitely got to “see America” by driving out to MT. And our dog Murphy loved it too!! Made several stops in SD, and Livingston MT before arriving in Whitefish. Murphy checked in to The three dog ranch and we joined our NatHab group of 12 and headed to Glacier. Having guided hikes (3-6 miles/day) in the park and staying in the park lodges made it very special. We were also given a fabulous presentation and hike by two members of the Blackfeet Indian tribe; a local geologist & naturalist; and a private tour on a Red Bus of Going To The Sun Road were awesome. AND of course the food and restaurant were “too good”!!
Highly recommend Natural Habitat and we so appreciate all your help in making it happen, Kristen.
