We Are Where The Wild Is

In a world where life is increasingly hectic and hyper connectivity means we are ‘always on’, we invite you to step away from your everyday hustle and bustle and visit some of the wildest, most wonderful places on earth.

We want to share everything we’ve found with you. We’ll open your eyes to vast, dancing skies. We’ll take you to mighty glaciers and sparkling fjords. We’ll get you closer than you ever dreamed to Arctic wildlife and introduce you to local characters who’ve become our lifelong friends.

Wherever you go, we guarantee you’ll stay in amazing spaces. Ice hotels, glass igloos, lighthouses, treehouses, mirror cubes and sea cabins…unique accommodation for a journey you’ll never forget.


Because the wild is what we do best

What began as a love for the North has become the work we’re proud to do every day. After years of exploring its wild landscapes and meeting the people who call them home, we’re now here to share those experiences and help others discover the North our way.
