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...

Join us on this fabulous expedition cruise exploring the majestic Russian Far East and the mountains, glaciers and wildlife of Alaska's southwestern coast, visiting remote islands and shorelines teeming with wildlife that has remained immune to the encroachments of mass tourism and is well beyond the reach of the larger cruise ships.
At this time of year the wildlife spectacle is fantastic with Kodiak Bears fishing in the shallows to sheer cliffs covered with tens of thousands of seabirds. Gray and Humpback Whales and Orcas patrol these waters and Steller's Sea Lions guard the beaches.
