Thirty years in the field, worldwide. Expertly guided, and built for people ready to experience the world.
Signature trips
Opening soon
Norfolk & Suffolk, England is the next journey to watch. Dates are tentative until registration opens; register your interest and we'll contact you personally when it is ready.
The wetlands and coast of Norfolk and the ancient woods of Suffolk, in May at the very height of spring. Migrants pour in off the North Sea, Bitterns boom across the reedbeds, and on three separate mornings we stand within metres of a singing Nightingale.

A continent-spanning spring journey from Patagonia's glacier country and the Beagle Channel to the wildlife-rich Iberá Wetlands, with an optional five-day Iguazú Falls and Atlantic Forest extension.
Winter in the plains and wetlands of northern India, when the marshes fill with cranes and storks and the dry forest holds some of Asia's most sought-after birds. A journey of painted waterbirds, Himalayan river specialists, rhinos and tiger country — with an optional five-day Pench extension for Central India's dry forest.
A seventeen-day grand loop through the Pearl of Africa — from the prehistoric Shoebill in the Mabamba papyrus to the great forests of Budongo and Kibale, the savannahs of Queen Elizabeth, and the Albertine Rift endemics of Bwindi — with chimpanzee tracking at Kibale and mountain gorillas at Bwindi woven through the birding days. Over 500 species are in reach.
The archipelago that rewrote biology, at close range — boobies and albatross on the cliffs, penguins and flightless cormorants along the shore, and Darwin's finches at arm's length. Pairs naturally with the Ecuador Cloud Forest extension.
An add-on to the Galápagos journey, climbing into the Chocó cloud forest on the west slope of the Andes. Cock-of-the-rock leks, a bewildering hummingbird cast at the feeders, and mixed flocks of tanagers pouring through the mist.
An extraordinary birding adventure from Auckland to Stewart Island — island sanctuaries, alpine country, pelagic seas and nocturnal kiwi, followed by time to enjoy Christchurch's city, Botanic Gardens and museums.
Winter birding from Kyushu to Hokkaido — great gatherings of Hooded and White-naped Cranes in the south, Red-crowned Cranes dancing on snow, and Steller's Sea Eagles along the frozen northern coast.
A slow river journey deep into the flooded forest by small vessel and skiff, where the birding is done from the water at dawn. Hoatzins in the riverside tangles, macaws crossing overhead, and the long-shot dream of a Harpy Eagle.
Spring across Bulgaria's wildest edges — vultures riding the thermals over the Rhodope Mountains, pelicans and herons in the Danube wetlands, and a surge of migration along the Black Sea coast, with orchids, butterflies and old-world villages woven into the journey.
Sabah from cloud forest to lowland rainforest — birding Mount Kinabalu and Rainforest Discovery Centre, watching orangutans in the Kinabatangan Wetlands, and ending deep inside the epic wilderness of Danum Valley.
Great Bustards displaying on Alentejo plains, raptors above cork-oak country and spring migration through the Tagus wetlands and Atlantic headlands — a gentle May journey threaded with wildflowers, whitewashed towns and hilltop castles.
An 18-day cross-island immersion linking western dry forest, eastern rainforest, the Central Highlands, sandstone savanna, southwestern spiny forest and coastal wetlands.
An east coast birding journey from Sydney's coastal forests to Brisbane's subtropical wetlands and O'Reilly's rainforest birding, then north to Cairns, the Daintree, Kingfisher Park and the Wet Tropics endemics of Mount Lewis Road.
