Explore cosmopolitan cities renowned for the laid-back quality of life. Learn about Maori traditions and experience the ferocious energy of a haka.

Testimonials

Brooke C. - Chevy Chase, MD
New Zealand & the Sub-Antarctic Islands
"This is the second trip we booked through you, and each time was well managed. You provided excellent coordination, good reminders of what to do, and helped with any questions immediately. We really do provide your name to all our friends who are considering expedition trips. The birds (especially the penguins) were wonderful. Being able to go to Macquarie and see thousands of penguins up close (including chicks and hovering scuas) was a special way to see nature. The expedition leader was great and the team worked really hard."
Carolyn H.
Kimberley Expedition
"We thoroughly enjoyed our trip on the Orion, we could not fault the service and friendliness, it was 110% from the time we arrived at the port in Darwin until we departed at Broome. Each day seemed to get better and better. This was a long awaited trip after just retiring and we could not have wished for a better experience."
