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...

In Search of Whoopers: Prairie Waterfowl and Wader Spectacular 
The whisper of the prairie breeze is suddenly disturbed by a loud, bugle-like trumpeting as a family group of three Whooping Cranes, their wings beating slowly and deliberately, fly just above the horizon to reach the edge of the lake northwest of Saskatoon. The majestic Whooping Cranes, the rarest bird in North America, and the recipients of intense conservation efforts for decades, have arrived from their nesting grounds in Wood Buffalo Park to feed and rest in this area before continuing on to their wintering grounds in Aransas National Wildlife Refuge in Texas.   ..read more

- Madagascar 
For the fifth year, we are going to visit one of the most sought-after of all destinations - the fabled and mystical island of Madagascar. Our previous tours have been very successful in spotting the wildlife with 15 species of lemurs, a large percentage of the endemic birds, and many of the huge chameleons of the island observed. This isolated island, which has given birth to wildly strange creatures and plants, is remarkable in every way. After separating from the east coast of Africa more than 60 million years ago, and drifting into the Indian Ocean, it has followed an independent course of evolution, which has allowed it to develop an amazing variety of unique life forms.    ..read more
