From the world-famous unconformity at Siccar Point to the ancient rocks of the North West Highlands, dinosaur footprints on Skye and the spectacular basalt columns of Fingal’s Cave, our latest Scotland tour was a journey through nearly three billion years of Earth history. Join us as we look back at nine unforgettable days exploring one of the world’s most important geological destinations.
Our 2026 England & Wales tour was an epic 13 day journey through almost the entire geological timescale. From Jurassic fossils on the Dorset coast to trilobites in Wales, coal mines in South Wales and the birthplace of modern geology in Shropshire, this tour showcased the extraordinary geodiversity of Britain. Our photo diary shares some of the highlights from this unforgettable geological road trip.
Morocco delivered an unforgettable journey through mountains, deserts and fossil rich landscapes. From trilobite quarries in the Anti Atlas to dinosaur beds on the edge of the Sahara, this trip revealed a powerful story of deep time and discovery. Our photo diary shares some of our favourite moments from this incredible geological adventure.
Oman delivered one of the most extraordinary geological journeys we’ve ever experienced. From ancient ocean crust and mantle rocks to vast desert dunes and dramatic mountain canyons, this trip revealed Earth’s story on a truly epic scale. Our photo diary shares some of our favourite moments from this unforgettable adventure in Arabia.
We’re always in for a volcanic treat when we visit the Canary Islands and this trip was no exception. Travelling across Tenerife, La Gomera and La Palma, we explored dramatic volcanic landscapes, fresh lava flows and lush island interiors. This photo diary shares some of our favourite moments from this unforgettable island-hopping adventure.
