THE GUIDES

All our guides are highly experienced seabirders, many of whom have experience from the sub-Antarctic islands. Several of our guides are also professional ornithologists and authors of books on seabirds and birding. All are also 'people persons' and have a good knowledge of cetaceans as well as birds. The guides have contributed in large measure to the popularity of our seabird-watching trips.

Some of our regular guides include:

Peter Ryan - Seabird researcher at the Percy Fitzpatrick Institute of African Ornithology, highly experienced birder and co-author of a new field guide to the birds of the Afrotropics.
