Small group tours for mature travellers escorted from NZ to worldwide destinations. TAANZ Bonded.

Project Expeditions was formed in 1983 to specialise in soft adventure packages for the retired age group, when at the time there was no other company doing so. We are an independent, pioneering company, always looking for exciting new avenues to pursue in the world of travel. Indeed on many occasions we have ‘blazed a trail’ for others to follow. For example we were the world’s first travel compa

ny to obtain tourist permission to land on Komodo Island and observe the dragons. We were the first New Zealand adventure operator into China in 1983 and to Mongolia in 1986. Since that time we have blazed trails through the jungles of Thailand, Borneo (both Malaysian and Indonesian), Sri Lanka, and Vietnam. We have taken groups to the top of Mt Kinabalu, rafted the Zambezi River, snorkeled with the seals in the Galapagos Islands and dived in cages to see the great white sharks off South Africa… all this for travelers over 50! As such, we do not subscribe to the normal concept of escorted travel. Our tours are not for those who are content to be shepherded around in large groups, or simply wish to view tourist sights from the inside of buses. We like our groups to be between 12 and 16 and on some occasions we operate for numbers down to 6. Our policy is to immerse our travellers in the culture, geography and flora & fauna of the countries we visit, spend time with locals and to seek out enriching experiences few others would imagine.

** Update ** only 2 more people needed! 🌟 Let’s Help Liz Get to India! 🌟
This November, I’ve got a very special journey planned through South India — from the hills of Karnataka to the coast of Kerala — but after a few cancellations, we now need six more travellers to make it happen.

One person who’s desperate for the trip to go ahead is Liz. This will be her 5th time in India and her 4th time travelling with me. She’s ready, excited, and even happy to share a room with another solo female if that helps someone join.

If you’ve ever dreamed of seeing a very different side of India — think Theyyam rituals, spice-scented markets, and warm community encounters — this is your chance.

✈️ Tour dates: 9–26 November 2025
📅 We need to confirm numbers by 8 August!

👉 Tag a friend or message me to find out more. Let’s make it happen for Liz!

Some more pics from our Southern Balkans group from the sights on tour.

Thanks again to Annabelle for sharing them.

Travel not only leaves us with fantastic memories but it can also provide us with incredibly useful everyday things. Like these these bamboo tongs I use to exact my vogels from the toaster most days.

I bought them at the Hornbill Festival market when I escorted one our groups to Nagaland a couple of years ago. The tongs, along with this morning's thick fog reminds me of the early morning fog in the hill station of Kohima that obscures the expansive views.

Our Southern Balkans tour is underway! Launching from Tirana, Albania, the group headed up into the mountains explore historial Kruja (including the Medieval Bazaar) before crossing the next day into Montenegro for more fantastic views visiting Budva and Kotor.
Today they cross back into Albania and to Shkodra.

A huge thanks to Annabelle for sharing her photos. 📸
