Tour Leader Robin Tapley Robin is a wonderful naturalist, and an expert tour leader, who always garners great accolades form the participants on his tours. He is the Senior Naturalist at the Delta Grandview Resort in Muskoka, Ontario and is well known for running its very successful natur and astronomy programs. He has led many Quest tours to the Galapagos Islands, Antarctica, Muskoka and New Brunswick. Staff Member Pamela Berton Pamela has been a member of Quest Nature Tours' sales team for over ten years, and has been involved in Nature Tourism for over twenty years. She is Quest's expert sales consultant in Canadian and International Land Tours. In fact, she has been a participant on many of them including, most recently, India and East Africa. She is able to offer valuable insights for tour participants.          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.
