New Zealand's Award winning Expedition travel Company

We specialise in worldwide natural history expeditions to Antarctica, the Subantarctic Islands; including Campbell Island, Macquarie Island and the Auckland Islands, the Western Pacific and the Russian Far East.

The expeditions you find on this website have been years in the making. They haven’t been designed in a board room or copied from someone else’s brochure: they are the combination of years of experience, a passion for and commitment to conservation and a desire to share with you the beauty and magic of the region, that you in turn might become ambassadors for its continued protection.

Our long association with Antarctica and the Subantarctic Islands means that not only do we know them intimately, but it also means we have permits and permissions that are unique to our company earned through an impeccable record of responsible expeditions.  In 2007, we realised expedition cruising is also the perfect style of travel for the Russian Far East, where there are virtually no roads and very little infrastructure. The Russian Far East is unique, the culture, the climate, the history and the wildlife.

Our ice strengthened expedition vessel, the Spirit of Enderby, is in a class of its own. It carries just 48 passengers in very comfortable accommodation (refurbished in New Zealand November 2004). The cuisine is excellent and is prepared by top NZ and Australian chefs. Our Expeditions are accompanied by some of the most experienced naturalists and guides, who have devoted a lifetime to field research in the areas that we visit.

As a family, as enthusiasts and as an expert company, we look forward to sharing these memorable expeditions with you.
