Forest & Bird Conservation Expedition: Forgotten Islands of the South Pacific

“What a magical place”

“I want to pass on a very big thank you to everyone at Heritage. My research work went very well, and the trip was an absolute pleasure. Everything about the trip exceeded my expectations. The staff in the office and onboard were absolutely fantastic, from Jessie Prebble coming around and checking up on those of us who couldn’t get out of bed during mealtimes, to Alex Fergus’ exceptional planning to ensure that the needs and desires of all the passengers for particular shore excursions were balanced with safety and weather concerns, to the incredible knowledge and communication skills of the guides, to the amazing food the chefs prepared even in challenging conditions, to Max’s dry humour as we were doused in sea spray in the zodiacs, to Spencer Clubb’s (our DOC rep) excellent efforts protecting the environment without being over-the-top and annoying, and the Russian crew’s friendliness and enthusiasm despite the language barrier. And of course, what a magical place the Subantarctic Islands are!”
