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 returned to Morocco for an eighth time in November 2023 and took another journey across the High Atlas, viewing many fascinating sites on the way. From trilobites to mineral mines and from dinosaur bones to stromatolites, we saw it all! This blog includes our favourite photos from this year’s trip.
In June 2023, we returned to Scotland to run our ‘Birth of Geology’ tour. We were very fortunate with the weather and we saw a wide variety of geological sites, including Hutton’s Unconformity at Siccar Point, arguably the most important geological site in the world…! This is a photo record of our trip.
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 from our geological journey through Oman. In March 2022, seven intrepid geo-travellers joined us to explore the geological marvels this wonderful country has to offer.
We returned to Oman in December 2021 and embarked on another fantastic trip through this geological wonderland. The trip explored the world’s best ophiolite, traversed mountains, journeyed into the desert and much, much more!
