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...

To many people the prairies evoke images of golden wheat fields stretching off into the horizon in a series of undulating waves with an occasional lonely farmhouse to break the monotony. Nothing could be farther from the truth, for beyond the fields of wheat is another world often hidden by the distances. The Canadian grasslands are a constantly changing tapestry of earth and sky. The land itself, while seeming flat, is an ever-changing blend of badlands, coulees, sand dunes, river valleys, hills and grasslands. Seemingly empty, the grasslands are filled with many species of wildlife uniquely adapted to this unforgiving prairie environment and we'll explore this important Canadian eco-system starting in Calgary.
