Golf, scuba diving, scenic flights, fossil, hunting, penguin colony, vintage car display, art gallery and shopping can all be visited right here in Wynyard with no parking meters, little traffic and plenty of places to pull over and admire the view.

The climate in Tasmania offers all year round enjoyment with winter snows, summer heat and crisp spring and autumn days. An hour or twos drive gives you plenty of variety with rich farming areas to mountainous peaks, rugged oceans, enormous sand dunes and large lakes.
Tasmania is easy to get around with excellent highways expanding from one end of the island to the other, good sign posting and plenty of information centers. It has 4 main centers, Hobart in the south, Launceston in the North and Devonport and Burnie in the north-west.

Hawaii's Big Island Hiking Tour
Born in the clash of liquid fire and surging ocean, the Big Island became the grandest Hawaiian island and bears nature’s indelible marking of variety and beauty. Sun-swept and rain-cooled, lofty volcanoes dusted with snow, beckoning beaches of wondrous hues, this island offers the walker a sense of adventure and an unmistakable joy. Lush forests and rolling grasslands contrast vividly with dramatic lava fields of various ages. Strange birds call from Koa and Ohia trees, and voluminous waterfalls drop from velvet cliffs to the green valley floors. And a language as intriguing as the local history and customs.
A summary of our clockwise island loop trip:
Volcano National Park. We convene in Kailua-Kona, and go up the Kona Coast to visit and walk the trails at Kaloko-Honokohau National Historic Park to see how the ancient Hawaiians lived, fished and cared for their land. Green sea turtles may be found along the shore. Then we get a guided tour at the Ki'i Pohaku Petroglyphs, one of the largest and graphic collections of ancient drawings in the Hawaiian Islands. This a wonderful way to get acquainted with the local culture and terrain. We stay two nights at the family-run Manago Hotel where the sunset views are stunning, and a Japanese-style dinner at Teshima’s is in store.
The next day at Kealakekua Bay and Honaunau, the history is as interesting as the Hawaiian pronunciations. One trek takes us to where Captain Cook, the famous navigator and explorer, first landed in 1778. Ancient lava cliffs line the bay, and we might spot spinner dolphins here. At Honaunau Village we can watch outrigger canoes being launched, walk the shoreline trail in search of whales, or learn native culture in Place of Refuge National Historic Park.
We head south around the bulging island’s southwestern corner, taking a side trip to Ka Lae or South Point, where it is believed the first Tahitian-area sea voyagers landed on this island about 1,000 years ago. We also stop to watch, and talk with the local fishing folk as they fish with special poles and ladders from the rugged lava cliff edges. A coastal path leads to Green Sand Beach, where the ocean has captured an olive-rich crater – a unique and protected swim spot. This is also the site of several coast walks where we usually see humpback whales not far offshore, breaching and spouting in the Pacific waves
We then travel eastward along the south coast to Volcanoes National Park with its mile-high rain forests, lava caves, Nene geese, and steaming Kilauea Caldera. We’ll peer into Halemaumau, the “house of ferns”, stride across the cooled lava pavements of Kilauea Iki Crater, and visit a bird sanctuary of old-growth trees that has been spared from the lava flows. A visitor center helps us interpret these geologic wonders for us. Based at the My Island B&B in Volcano Village for two nights. We’ll hike out through a lava tree-mold forest to the old Pu'u Hulhulu crater, where we can get a glimpse of the Pu'u O'o crater and it's vent, the only one that is currently spewing lava.
Then, we head eastward to non-touristy, interesting Hilo, with its cheery red and green roofs and swaying palms overlooking the Pacific sunrise and Hilo Bay. The Hilo area is renowned for its orchid growing, waterfalls, and proximity to Volcanoes National Park. It lies at the forested foot of the massive shield-type volcano, Mauna Loa (“the long mountain”). Bamboo forest walks to Akaka and Kahuna Falls complement a ramble along lovely Onomea Bay with its sweeping ocean views. The Puna District, a short drive southwards, offers us an Oceanside back roads walk, a black sand beach and an Oceanside thermal pool. Our two-night stay at the Dolphin Bay Hotel is short stroll to Hilo’s shops, the incredible farmer/craft market, and the historic Lyman House. We may also visit the fascinating new new Imiloa Astronomy Center.
Finally we head northward for two days and nights to the Kamuela/Waimea area, with its lush ranchlands and nearby, stunning Kohala Coast beaches. We do a fabulous hike down to the coast through ranchland. Then our Upolu Point walk gives us whale watching opportunities and a visit to the Mookini Heiau, a sacred ceremonial site; then onto Honoipu Landing, where an ancient fishing village site has been partly restored – interesting and evocative. Closer to Kamuela town, we do a fine walk on tree fern-lined paths to the very brink of Waipio Valley, with stunning views of this lush chasm, once home to kings of old Hawaii. Kohala Mountain and massive, snow-capped Mauna Kea (“the white mountain”) are the Kamuela area’s dramatic backdrop. The stay is at the Waimea Country Lodge, near the largest ranch in the USA!
After a final farewell on the South Kohala Coast, we return to the Kona airport at the end of the trip.
Details:
Easy to moderate hikes. The terrain is gently rolling with a few invigorating up and downhills. Walking destinations include: tree fern rainforests, undulating lava “pavements”, beaches, Oceanside back roads and trails. Ireland-like green pasturelands and colorful cinder cones. Figure 5 to 8 miles daily, usually up to 4 miles in the a.m., then a picnic lunch or small outdoor cafe, and another 4 miles or so (optional) in the afternoon. Rest/beach/snorkel/shop days (or half days) are often options too. The flexible schedule will respect you vacation walking and non-walking needs.
The trip starts and ends in Kailua-Kona, so you will need to use that airport. It is advisable that you arrive at least one day before the trip. You can be picked up at your hotel. On the last day you will be dropped off at the airport or your hotel, if you’re staying on, by 1 pm.

If after this visit Rio isn't on your top three lists of cities, we'd be very much surprised… Lodging in a comfortable hotel. Includes: (L), (D);
Day 2 Р4: Igua̤u Falls
Air travel to Foz do Iguaçu. Wow!! If you aren't moved by this spectacle, you need resuscitation! The greatest waterfall in South America; perhaps in the world. One day to see the Brazil side and a wonderful nearby aviary and another day to view the Argentine side of the falls. Personally, on my list of awesome natural phenomena, Iguaçu Falls ranks second only to the very best northern lights. Lodging in a comfortable hotel. Includes: (B), (L), (D);
Day 5 – 9: Pantanal
The largest wetlands in the world and highest concentration of wildlife in Latin America occupy an area within Mato Grosso and Mato Grosso do Sul and extends into Bolivia and Paraguay. Gateways are Campo Grande and Corumba for the South and Cuiaba for the North. Air travel to Campo Grande, land transport to camp.
If you like to view wildlife at home in its natural habitat, without a lot of other tourists around competing for the view, this may be the best place in the world to do it! Arguably as rich in numbers and diversity of birds and animals as the tropical rainforest, the Pantanal's reduced vegetative cover, islands of high ground in the rainy season, and pockets of water in the dry season, make wildlife viewing much more efficient and satisfying - any time of year! Jacaré (alligator); howler, capuchin, squirrel, and marmoset monkeys; capybara (the largest rodent in the world); 3 kinds of deer; coatimundi; 2 species of anteater; white-collared peccary; crab-eating fox; and agouti were among the animals are among the animals you are likely to see. Birds include tiger herons, egrets, jabiru storks, ducks, ibis, savannah hawk, caracara, chaco chacalacha, curassao, jacana, parrots, macaws, owls, toucans, kingfishers, oropendula, and many more. The Pantanal, the largest alluvial plain in the world, is still healthy and unpolluted and home to such a diversity of plants, animals, and birds that it will take your breath away. Horseback ride, fish for piranha, birdwatch, search for the elusive anaconda, pet an armadillo, spot jacaré at night - there's so much to do you won't want to leave. Lodging in bush camps, sleeping in hammocks (alternative sleeping arrangements can be made, but the hammocks are surprisingly comfortable!) in screened, thatched enclosures; basic but tasty and healthful meals; great ambiance; expert trained knowledgeable guides. Includes: (B), (L), (D);
Day 10 – 14: Ilha Grande
Fly to Rio and transfer by land and sea to beautiful, idyllic Ilha Grande: wonderful secluded beaches, friendly little village, no roads or vehicles - NONE! Great trails to hike, fun little restaurants, boat trips, snorkeling, rain forest treks. For such a small island, there's way too much to do.… or you can just relax and enjoy the incredible numbers of hummingbirds around the communal area. Good food, good people, good fun! Includes: (B), (L), (D);
Day 15 – 16: Rio de Janeiro
Land travel back for one more day in romantic, beautiful Rio. Try some of the local specialties, explore the favelas, shop, or just experience the beach life for which Rio is famous. Depart for home. Includes: (B), (L).

UNINI PEACOCK BASS ADVENTURES
For the adventurous angler who enjoys getting off the beaten path to fish and explore unpressured waters, our peacock bass operation on the Unini River offers an ideal peacock bass fishing experience. Visiting anglers will be fishing some of the most pristine and untouched watersheds in the Amazon. Our floating barge operation allows you to pursue record-class peacock bass on the Unini River, as well as within lagoons located in this watershed. This is a true trophy peacock bass fishery. If your desire is to catch lots of 3 to 5 lb fish, this is not the destination for you. However, if fish in excess of 10 lbs are your prized quarry, you will find no better location. The camp is mobile and, depending on fishing conditions, the owners of this operation strive to constantly keep our clients on fish. The Unini River is a tributary of the Rio Negro (itself the largest tributary of the mighty Amazon River) located approximately 210 miles northwest of Manaus. The river is roughly 200 miles long with at least 250 connecting lakes and lagoons throughout its course. Its location is such that it can only be reached by private charter plane. The camp is located about 165-200 miles from where the Unini River empties into the Rio Negro. About 20 miles up river from the mouth, there are three sets of rapids and falls which prohibit navigation further up river except during the period of highest water levels in the summer months. There are small villages near the area of the falls, but only a few scattered locals live further upriver and the fishing pressure and commercial is virtually nonexistent. The catch rates at this operation during the 2004-05 season for both numbers and trophy fish (those over 14 lbs) was as good, or better, than any operation in Brazil.
You will be fishing main river structure, as well as a multitude of lakes, backwater bays and hidden lagoons off the Unini River. The typical fishing day is long (we figure you can rest back in the states) and runs from 6:30 a.m. until 6:00 p.m. Anglers are paired two to a boat with an experienced Brazilian guide. The boats are 17-1/2 feet long, have stabile raised casting decks, swivel seats, 50-HP outboards and electric trolling motors. These boats can cruise over shallow sandbars and flats and get you into places that other, heavier, fiberglass boats cannot reach. The fishing boats are fully equipped aluminum boats with outboard engines, life jackets, first-aid kits, and an icebox for cold drinks and snacks. One of the most appealing and exciting aspects of fishing for peacock bass is their propensity for attacking surface lures and flies. The strike is so dramatic that you will be startled when the first few occur. Peacock bass fishing is very similar to largemouth bass fishing in the states. Both species ambush prey from cover and structure. Cast topwater plugs, jerkbaits, Banjo Minnows, spoons or jigs to stumps, shoreline blowdowns, rockpiles, creek mouths and sandbars .If you desire to fly fish, the most successful flies are larger profiled patterns - all tied on 2-0 to 4-0 quality saltwater hooks - such as Dahlberg-style divers, large profiles baitfish patterns, High-Tie or variations of Lefty's Deceivers & Clouser Minnows. These should be tied in a diversity of colors. This region is most productive following the rainy season, as the rivers, creeks and lagoons recede and the fish are drawn out of the maze of trees, root systems and lush vegetation. Keep in mind that the productiveness of your peacock bass adventure is largely dictated by the water levels, and occasionally the rainy season fails to abide by schedules and may add mid-season downpours.
Trip Itinerary:
Friday: International overnight flight to Manaus, Brazil on TAM Brazilians Airlines.
Saturday: Early am arrival in Manaus. Clear customs. Breakfast at local hotel. Board charter flight to camp. Fishing begins if there is no problem reaching camp early due to weather or logistical factors.
Sunday-Friday: Six days of fishing
Saturday: Charter back to Manaus. Accommodations at hotel.
Sunday: Early afternoon departure to Miami. Arrive in Miami approximately 7:30 PM. Possible connection to your home city or overnight stay in Miami.

Spa Adventure Tour to Sedona, Arizona
April 13-19; October, 2008
With its towering red rock monoliths and buttes, Sedona is a piece of nature in its pure state, at 4,300 feet, above the heat of the desert.
Home to numerous protected prehistoric Indian ruins, estimates are that Indians have made pilgrimages to the Sedona Valley for over 9,000 years and that as many as 12,000 people, known as Sinaqua Indians, may have lived here during the 1100’s. To help us understand and honor the sacredness of this place, staff members have studied local Native traditions and rituals.
Hike 5-15 miles per day on a variety of challenging canyon and winding mountain trails, some gaining up to 3,500 feet in elevation, to view spectacular vistas of cliffs and pinnacles. Time is allotted for moments of introspection and meditation along the way.
Climb to ancient cliff dwellings which housed the Anasazi, Hopi and Apache; then up to overlooks and high plateaus where stone medicine wheels served as catalysts for Indian ceremonies.
Explore Oak Creek with its many stepping stones and swimming holes; through forests of pinion, oak, juniper and ponderosa pine; erosion-sculptured canyons of red supai and yellow sandstone, dotted with cacti and wildflowers.
Throughout the week, the staff selects your appropriate grade and length of hikes, to help maximize your level of fitness. You will be amazed at what you accomplish by the end of the week!
Step out early morning to our cozy yoga room, or weather permitting, a secluded yoga/tai chi site; a massive rock overhang suspended above breathtaking views of the Verde wilderness.
Afternoons enjoy a stretch and muscle-toning class, massage, and an optional two-hour sunset horseback ride.
Evenings, participate in a variety of motivational health and wellness discussions; learn the history and culture of the indigenous tribes and Sedona region and take part in an optional Indian Sweat Lodge ceremony.
Tucked into Oak Creek Canyon’s lush forested settings are the Creekhouses at Junipine, an ideal location for our getaway and sharing with soon-to-be friends. Blessed with beauty in every direction and a climate as close to perfection as only the southwest can offer, each Creekhouse is equipped with two luxurious bedrooms and baths, and a spacious living room with open fireplace. View Sedona’s fiery red cliffs from your private deck and fall asleep to the babbling sounds of Oak Creek.
Delicious organic meals are prepared by our private chef and served in the main house. Yes, recipes are shared with the guests!
Start with early morning yoga/meditation classes on a spectacular Red Rock plateau, surrounded by 360 deg. views (or, in our private Yoga studio); followed by Day Hikes that wind through awesome Red Rock canyons up to high Mountain Tops with expansive views. Sedona's variety of vegetation ranges from cactus to evergreens - thus the name: Verde Valley Wilderness. We include 3 massages, delicious Natural Cuisine (prepared by our private chef), Upscale Creek-side Lodge with Fireplaces, a Living Room and Decks (on scenic Oak Creek Canyon), Health & Wellness Education, Indian Cultural Exploration, plus an optional Indian Sweat Lodge.
