Hi Vanbirders,

?

We recently took the Western Pacific Odyssey tour with Heritage Expeditions which was a very expensive ($14,000 per person!) disaster and we wanted to at least warn other birders who may be considering this tour.

?

We booked the tour through ROCKJUMPER BIRDING TOURS, and although we had a Rockjumper itinerary not a Heritage itinerary, Rockjumper refused to do anything about any of our complaints and hid behind the fact that ‘they were only the agents’ and have told us that ‘we do intend to continue offering the 2024 cruise in its current form’! This is possible the most disturbing thing about the whole experience, and I would honestly tell anyone to consider the honesty, integrity, and accountability of a company like Rockjumper who are clearly not interested in their guest experience as long as they get their money! Needless to say, we will never use either Rockjumper or Heritage Expeditions again!

?

The trip report is here for anyone interested:
