Upcoming expeditions

Head off with a group of like-minded travellers on one of these unforgettable

experiences and you’ll also be contributing vital funds to the AGS.

Join us on a 14-night expedition from Broome to Bali; discover

dramatic landscapes etched with the Kimberley’s ancient human

history, explore the pristine waters of the Spice Islands and search

for Komodo dragons. You’ll be joined by National Geographic

photographer Bob Krist. Quote ‘MAGAUSGEO’ to receive $200

per person onboard credit, valid for new bookings only.

Unlike its neighbours, Iran did not adopt Christianity. It

was the explosive spread of Islam, without the Arabic

language or customs, that helped unite the culture

and greatly enrich Persian heritage. Our 17-day program

includes the great cities of Iran, historic sites, mosques,

gardens, bazaars and teahouses.

Landscapes and archaeological features that represent some of

the important prehistoric sites in Britain are explored on this

19-day program. These include the stone rings on Orkney,

excavated villages on Shetland, standing stones in the Outer

Hebrides, tomb sites on the isle of Anglesey, Wales, and the

earthen henges around Avebury and Stonehenge.

Discover the ancient nomadic cultures of western Mongolia

on this journey with Tim Cope. Travel from remote desert

landscapes to glacier-capped peaks and one of the most

isolated, yet vibrant, towns in Central Asia. Highlights include

a three-day horse trek with nomads, and attendance at the

annual eagle festival – the largest gathering of its kind.
