Discover local wildlife, ecology and cultures on this two week hands-on journey to Kalimantan, Sumatra and Flores.  Join renowned scientist Claire Oelrichs to explore majestic rainforests, view Orangutans in the wild, bathe Sumatran elephants and learn about the rare Sumatran rhinoceros.

Beginning with Flores Island, from where we visit the islands of Komodo National Park which protects the impressive Komodo dragons.   We will snorkel on the coral reef to view the colourful fish and maybe turtles with a final visit to a small turtle hatchery on Kanawa Island.

To the west of the Wallace line is Tanjung Puting National Park in Kalimantan. Formerly known as Borneo, this is one of the most bio-diverse places on the earth. This large tropical rainforest is home to Orangutans, Proboscis Monkeys, Macaques, Langurs and Gibbons. From our base at Rimba Lodge we travel by klotok river boats to view primates and birds in the lowland forest.

Way Kambas National Park on Southern Sumatra has the richest wildlife and is known as "Africa of Asia". Sumatran Elephants can be viewed in the wild and you can bathe baby Elephants at the nearby conservation centre. A visit to the Sumatran Rhinoceros Sanctuary allows us to see the rare Sumatran Rhino and we also track the Sumatran Tiger in its own habitat (sightings are rare!).  There are possibilities to also see Tapir, Sunbear, Crocodile, Gibbon, Clouded Leopard and more.

Discover the heart of Polynesia, 3000km north east of Auckland. From the majestic peaks of Rarotonga to the untouched rainforests of Atiu and the breathtaking lagoon of Aitutaki - the beauty and charm of these South Pacific islands is matched only by the warm hospitality of its friendly people. Your local guide will introduce you to the culture, people and natural beauty over two weeks.

On the main island of Rarotonga, we visit the colourful weekly market, walk through pristine rainforest to The Needle (a legendary rock pinnacle) and join local guides into a conservation area and on a tour around the island. We soak up the spirit of the famous Cook Island dancers at a legendary island night.

There are few places left in the world like the island of Atiu. Explore the native jungle, the Kopeka caves (home to rare birdlife), visit a coffee plantation and arts studio, then spend a day with local guide Birdman George. Our time of Atiu ends with an umukai, a traditional Polynesian feast.

On Aitutaki we contract a day cruise on the beautiful lagoon, and a safari & history tour to Paengariki Marae. With the tour ex Rarotonga, flights and extensions can be arranged direct from Australia or via New Zealand.
