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.
