Special Expeditions
Special Expeditions 2013 & 2014
Why a specialty expedition when we still run our existing trips?
Each expedition is focused on a particular species and is hosted by experts in that species behaviour and ecology.
The group size for each expedition has been limited to a maximum of anywhere from 8 - 12 participants. Limited numbers of guests on board ensures the best viewing potential, an un-crowded and intimate environment, maximum cage dive time and exceptional photographic opportunities.
Dates for each expedition have been specifically chosen as the very best period in the year to experience the specialty on offer.
