What antonia's clients say

“I have a particular interest in local food systems, and Antonia and Charlie did a great job incorporating my research into our itinerary to include unique experiences such as a private tour of a goat farm. The most meaningful part of the trip was the time we spent with our guide, and Antonia and Charlie were instrumental in connecting us with someone well-suited to our background and interests. This was one of the most memorable trips our family has taken and I look forward to working with Pelorus on another itinerary.”

Most creative trip planned

A multi-generational heli-assisted motorbiking, cycling and hiking adventure through Portugal in celebration of a 78th Birthday! Combining thrilling adventure with world-class wines, wild cooking, and fascinating culture, we took our clients off-grid to showcase another perspective on Portugal.

Number one unforgettable travel experience?

Without a doubt, this has to be island hopping in the completely extraordinary Raja Ampat Islands in Indonesia, where I scuba-dived with a squadron of giant manta rays on my first dive in 12 years. An incredibly magical and humbling experience in one of the most beautiful and remote locations in the world.

Top of your travel bucket list?

Whilst my list is constantly growing, having never set foot on South American soil, I’m keen to take a deep dive into the extraordinary and diverse Patagonia region. The chance to explore the phenomenal snow-capped peaks and rugged wilderness of Chile’s Torres del Paine National Park by foot would be epic.

Who is your ultimate travel partner?

With a personal passion for photography, I’d love the opportunity to travel with well-established wildlife and landscape photographer, David Yarrow. Yarrow’s approach to capturing some of the world’s most dangerous and unpredictable animals is admirable, and it would be incredible to be able to learn a few tips from the expert on my personal travels.
