Storytelling is at the heart of every journey, and there is no question that BBC Earth is nature’s premier storyteller. Beginning with departures in September 2014, travelers can experience 5 Earth Journeys co-crafted by Tauck Tours with BBC Earth. Tauck and BBC Earth are working together to bring a fresh perspective on natural history travel so you can experience the stories within these destinations in new and innovative ways. Each departure will include special videos, learn from educational touches that engage the five senses and enjoy hands on usage of special filmmaker gadgets all inspired by BBC Earth natural history filmmakers.
These trips will include exclusive original vignette films to be shown on location. Tauck tours will also work with BBC to use some of their state of the art technology which may include motion activated cameras, infrared night vision cameras, underwater cameras or long range directional microphones.
Get on a wait list not to be one of the first to book these incredible journeys.
