Heritage Expeditions

Heritage Expeditions is New Zealand's longest established birding travel company. Established by birders for birders, we have been providing unique travel opportunities for birders since 1985.
Our Sub Antarctic Islands and Antarctic expeditions aboard our own fully ice-strengthened polar research vessel with just 48 passengers provide keen pelagic birders with opportunities that are not available anywhere else. We use the same vessel for expeditions to the Pacific Islands including the Kermadec Islands and the S W Pacific Odyssey which cruises from New Zealand to Japan.
Our NZ Self Drive Nature program is a great "do it yourself" birding holiday in New Zealand or we can design a personalized itinerary for yourself, your friends or birding group. Check our web site for the best natural history opportunities in New Zealand then plan and book your holiday on line with us.
