If you are in the area, we invite you to join us on a morning half-day voyage among whales, dolphins, porpoises, seabirds, seals and otters. No two days are ever the same in the incredibly rich marine environment of Monterey Bay. Humpback whales have migrated into the bay, with recent sightings of them as well a blue whale, Pacific white-sided dolphins, northern right whale dolphins, Risso’s dolphins, black-footed albatross, and much more.
Experience the vibrant spring of South Georgia Island and the early season of the Antarctic Peninsula. While beneath the towering, snow-blanketed mountains of South Georgia Island, observe and photograph special wildlife behaviors seldom seen.
Did you know that we can arrange a private trip for you to many of our destinations including in our local California Bay Area? Are you celebrating a special event or prefer to keep your group to close friends or family? If so, these options are the ones for you!

"We prefer the small group experience and having a trip leader who is very knowledgeable about the area and the wildlife. You made an excellent boat selection- the crew was beyond superb!"
"I would forego 4 trips in order to save enough money to go on a Cheesemans' expedition. It was an unforgettable experience and could not have been better. We were very fortunate to have good weather and a group of experienced travelers/guests where were all good company, but the crew and Scott made the trip. I can't say enough good about them."
"The Cheeseman's Expedition to Palau was one of the most memorable experiences I've ever had; a perfect blend of adventure in the beautiful
waters of the South Pacific and interactions with the Palauan culture and history and with an appropriate emphasis on conservation of this amazing
ecosystem."
"Wonderful trip overall. Wildlife exceeded expectations. Tom was great (again) and guides and camp staff were excellent. Look forward to traveling
with Cheeseman's again."
"We were blown away by the diversity of the Pantanal. Had no idea this trip would resemble an African safari. Loved each day as new wildlife was
encountered."
"We feel very fortunate to have had Ted Cheeseman lead the trip! He added so much: adjusting plans and activities to changing conditions to show us the best things available; generously sharing his deep knowledge and experience of all things Antarctic; keeping in good spirits; even catering to our geocaching interests."
