journey through the PhiliPPineswith Palawan & tubbataha reefs
Aboard Caledonian Sky
March 12–28, 2016 | 17 Days
Borneooptional Pre-Voyage extension MARCh 9–15, 2016
Seek out a number of unique and increasingly rare creatures that inhabit the lush wilderness of borneo. At the Proboscis Monkey Sanctuary, observe these unusual primates during feeding time, then visit the Sepilok Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre. beneath a cathedral-like canopy, you can watch young orangutans as they swing through the trees to a feeding platform. These gentle arboreal apes, often orphans, are rehabilitated and taught to live in the wild before eventual release into their natural habitat. Take a cruise along the kinabatangan River, home to hose’s langurs, crab-eating macaques, reticulated pythons, the rare and endangered Storm’s stork, and all eight species of bornean hornbill.
Price: $2,780 per person, double occupancy; $3,360 per person, single occupancy

born in new Zealand, brent has been an avid birder since childhood. In 2005 he completed his PhD, studying the breeding biology of Australasian gannets in new Zealand. brent is the co-owner of a bird-guiding business. his passion for travel, birds, and the ocean has led him to many corners of the world working on small expedition vessels.
Rich first became enthralled by the wonders of the natural world around the tide pools and forests of his native new york. Since then, he has embarked on a career in conservation biology, including a variety of field biology projects. Rich was ultimately drawn back to the sea. he taught marine science and island ecology on Catalina Island in California for several years. he has also conducted shipboard surveys for marine mammals and seabirds, as well as tagging studies of sea turtles and pelagic sharks.
the PhiliPPine archiPelago of over 7,000 islands boast many natural
wonders—soaring volcanoes and rugged
mountains draped in luxuriant foliage,
colorful coral reefs, extensive limestone
caves, and idyllic beaches. this itinerary
offers a captivating mix of eastern and
Western cultures, exceptional snorkeling
and diving, and lush tropical forests filled
with a variety of endemic flora and fauna.
explore mangrove forests and scenic
coastlines on numerous Zodiac boat
excursions, and discover the amazing
biodiversity of these isolated islands on
nature hikes. a special highlight is the
opportunity to interact with native
cultures whose customs are reflected in
their intricate tribal dress, traditional
dances, and rich folklore.
