Day-by-day travel diaries and photographic diaries of geology tours run by GeoWorld Travel
Mid-June 2024 saw the 10th running of our ever-popular Scotland trip. We had a great time exploring some wonderful, world-class geological sites, but this post focuses on the wildlife we saw – and includes a bonus geology video at the end! Previous trip diaries have more photos of the geological sites if you wish to browse those.
On home ground once again, we took a group of geology enthusiasts on a tour of England & Wales. In 11 full touring days, we visited a wide variety of sites from almost all of the geologic time periods. Here are some of the best photos from the trip.
We enjoyed a return visit to Germany in October 2023 to visit world-class fossil sites and volcanic landscapes. Our group enjoyed a tour which started and ended in Frankfurt, taking in a variety of sites on the way! This is the day-by-day trip diary with a selection of the best photos.
We recently completed our 2023 England and Wales tour which took our guests through the complete geological timescale! We saw type areas of many geological time periods and outcrops from all geological time periods! These are our favourite photos with captions explaining what we saw.
In November 2022, we took a group of intrepid travellers on our “Trilobite’s Sahara Kingdom” geological tour of Morocco. Our 10-day trip across the Atlas mountains to the Sahara Desert was not only a trilobite extravaganza but also took in a dinosaur discovery site, mineral mines and various historic sites. This is a summary and selection of the best photos from the trip.
We returned to Germany in October 2022 for our “Volcanoes and Famous Fossil Sites” tour. The sites didn’t fail to impress! Our group was able to enjoy some exceptional fossil specimens in various museums, as well as visiting fossil discovery sites and searching for their own fossils. Visits to Ice Age caves and volcano sites rounded off a fantastic trip! We look forward to returning next year!
A selection of the best photos from our May 2022 Scotland trip. We were treated to some wonderful geological highlights, including Siccar Point, the Ardnmurchan Volcano and the iconic Fingal’s Cave.
In April 2022, we ran our England & Wales trip for the first time. This journey through the geologic timescale took us from the Jurassic Coast, to the Brecon Beacons, up to Snowdonia and over to Shropshire. Our itinerary took us to a wealth of world-class sites with a huge variety of geological interest. This is our illustrated trip diary…
A trip diary of our 2021 Morocco ‘The Trilobite’s Sahara Kingdom’ tour. A 10-day circular trip from Marrakech taking in the dramatic landscapes of the Atlas Mountains and the Sahara Desert.
We returned to Scotland in June 2021 to once again explore its world class geology. Our small group tour saw the first identified thrust fault, dinosaur footprints, the first recognised unconformity, spectacular basalt columns, and much, much more!
This is the blog of our ‘Morocco: The Trilobite’s Sahara Kingdom’ tour, which we completed in mid-November 2019. Morocco is an exceptional geological destination, as the desert conditions create large areas of rock exposure where fossils occur in abundance. It is world-famous for its trilobite and dinosaur fauna.
This is the blog of our new ‘Famous Fossil Sites and the Munich Show’ tour in Germany, which we lead for the first time in October 2019. Germany is home to some of the world’s best fossil sites and the most recently active volcanoes in Central Europe.
