If you wish to explore and photograph the best of Patagonia, venture through fjords and channels to reach the very end of Terra Australis, you really must discover the concept of expedition which has become the trademark of the Alliance between Patagonia Photosafaris and M/V Forrest. Exploration cruises in search of some of the best spots for capturing the most spectacular images - a true adventure voyage into Patagonia.

1. The Alliance
This Alliance between Patagonia Photosafaris and M/V Forrest, both companies with ample experience in their respective fields, guarantees an extraordinary trip, specialized in the sort of photo expeditions that you simply cannot find elsewhere. A cruise vessel entirely dedicated to satisfying the needs of only wildlife photographers, with comfortable facilities in which to edit your images and organize workshops and talks.

2. Specialized guides
Our guides are naturalists, historians and photographers, true experts in their respective fields. They all have plenty of experience guiding people through Patagonia and the southern channels, and are always ready to answer your questions or help you to achieve that perfect shot.

3. Personalized service
Small groups of no more than 14 people allow for a personalized service throughout the whole expedition. Our team of experienced guides and staff aboard is entirely devoted to giving you the best experience, in a comfortable environment.

4. All inclusive
The price for both our land and sea expeditions is all inclusive. Everything you require for a fantastic experience in Patagonia is included with the expedition – all you need is the desire to enjoy yourself and experience something completely new.

5. Innovation for real exploration
Our ship is equipped with Zodiac inflatable boats to ensure a safe landing and the possibility to access rarely visited places. We also have sea kayaks for those of you who are more adventurous.

6. An expedition, NOT a tour.
Whether it’s navigating through the Magellan Strait or travelling on one of our overland excursions, our trips always have the character of an expedition. Small groups in special places is what gives us that distinctive trademark which our passengers have recognised in a very special sort of contact with nature.

7. Flexibility
Our expeditions have complete flexibility, and this is what allows us to go in search of the best photo destinations. Our itineraries are specially designed to make the very most of those precious moments nature offers us, but we always leave space for modifications that may appear necessary or convenient at any given time.

8. Meals, accommodation and facilities
We provide a selection of local and international dishes, especially balanced and prepared for our excursions (we also cater for those with special diets). Comfortable facilities and work spaces, with two 42“ screens for presentations and talks will help make this an unforgettable experience.

9. Expertise
Thanks to our close relationship with the world of science, and as publishers of books, magazines and maps of Patagonia, we have access to privileged information. On some occasions we travel with scientists carrying out research in the area, and this gives us the chance to interact with them and acquire first-hand information about some of the most interesting locations on the planet.

10. Respect for the environment
All our expedition activities have an environmentally responsible approach. We donate time and resources, collaborating with local organizations and with our customers to protect, study or restore some of the wildest places in Patagonia.

We look forward to having you with us!
