CHATHAM ISLANDS TOUR – still a few places available!

7 November – 12 November 2024

One of our members, Helen McNeil, has recently returned from a Chathams tour lead by Hamish Campbell. She described the trip as “fantastic, and far more than geology,” reporting that the guides were knowledgeable and enthusiastic, and commenting on the companionship within the group. There were “great walks and world class cooking, with crayfish and blue cod and other delicacies.” There was humour in all they did, alongside the scholarly nature of the tour.

Hamish Campbell will be leading this tour. Hamish has extensive knowledge of and experience in the islands, and will cover geology, history, fauna and flora, and economic development. There will be ample opportunities for walks and photography, and talks may be offered in the evenings, according to members’ interest and inclination.

The cost of $5,000.00 pp is all-inclusive.

Accommodation will be at Hotel Chathams, with a room each for individuals or couples.

From here, if you wish to make a booking on this tour, or if you have a question, please contact Hamish, at:
