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...

She has also lived in Rankin Inlet and Yellowknife where she worked as an environmental scientist. She is the author of Barrenland Beauties, a colour field guide to the showy plants of the Canadian Arctic. Past participants have given her rave reviews of her knowledge and enthusiasm.

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.

Imagine yourself in a place of rolling hills, snaking eskers, gently meandering rivers and awesome gorges, walking on the tundra among a riot of wildflowers of all colours, observing breeding birds close at hand, perhaps seeing a Barren-ground Caribou with magnificent antlers cross the skyline. From the moment you step off your chartered plane at Bathurst Inlet, you will be in awe of the vastness of the land. For the next week, each day will be a sensory overload, each rise in the tundra revealing a new wonder in this Arctic Oasis.
