The Fabled Island of Borneo

Barry Griffiths and Geoff Carpentier have just returned from a scouting trip to one of the most exciting natural destinations in the world - Borneo. The newest tour in Quest's extensive worldwide nature tour program.

They report that, during their all too brief trip, they saw (up close and personal) over a dozen species of mammals including Orang Utans, Proboscis Monkeys, Maroon Langurs and Pig-tailed Macaques.

In addition, over 100 avian species appeared in their binoculars including Bornean Bristlehead, Rhinoceros Hornbill, Stork-billed Kingfisher and Spectacled Spiderhunter. Apparently the early mornings and late afternoons produced some of the best birding of their lives.

Now that they have put the final touches to the itinerary, you can be assured that this brand-new Quest trip will be one of the most unique and exciting offerings ever.

You won't want to miss this trip to one of the last remaining reserves of lowland rainforest in Borneo. Join Geoff Carpentier in September 2008, and let him introduce you to some of the finest flora and fauna in the world...

Turkey: The Crossroads for Ancient Cultures and Wildlife 
For 3500 years Turkey has been the crossroad for ancient cultures and trade routes and its magnificent history jumps out at you from every turn. As well, the natural history of this great theatre of human civilization is readily apparent as fertile, wooded coastal strips are backed by steep mountain ranges that form a seemingly continuous rim around the vast, steppe-like plateau of central Anatolia.   ..read more

Spain: Raptors, Flamingos, Castles and the Pyrenees 
There is no country in the Mediterranean that offers such a wealth of stunning scenery, diverse natural habitats, Romanesque architecture, ancient fortified hilltop villages and superb bird watching as Spain. For two weeks, we'll travel the entire length of this sun-drenched land, from a vantage point near Gibraltar where the Moroccan coastline is only 10 kilometres away, across the vast open plains where Great Bustards still gather and Imperial Eagles soar overhead, to the lofty heights of the Pyrenees Mountains.   ..read more
