Trips Worth the Wait

As we begin a new year and the pandemic continues to rage on, travel is more complicated than ever.

Trips Worth the Wait
But with the glimmers of hope from the availability of vaccines and reopening borders in 2021, we're cautiously optimistic about the year ahead. One thing is more certain than ever, though: when we do travel, we want it to count. COVID-19 gave us a chance to reassess what matters; for many of us, we realized what a great privilege it is to travel. We've put together a list of trips with that in mind-experiences that are as meaningful as they are thrilling, ones that have as positive impact on the places they touch as on the travelers themselves. From swimming with migrating mobula rays in Mexico to meeting the great mystics in Turkey or seeing what's at stake with climate change exploring Greenland's Arctic fjords on a battery-hybrid ship, these trips will make up for lost time.

Swim With the Mobula Migration

BAJA CALIFORNIA SUR, MEXICO

Every year, Baja California Sur is home to the largest migration (or aggregation) of mobula rays in the world-tens of thousands of them congregate from April to June for a spectacular synchronized dance party. Experience this incredible sight on a marine scientist-led Dive Ninjas five-day expedition. You don't need to be a scuba diver to see the mobulas either; snorkeling is preferable as bubbles disturb them.
