MEET THE TEAM

Like any successful team, we have a wide range of skills and experience between us, the uniting element which we see as our key to success is our passion and knowledge of all things Latin America, Antarctica and the Arctic.

These destinations are special to us. We can recall the emotions of setting foot on Antarctica for the first time, the feeling of icy air on bare skin as you stand on deck in the Arctic, the energy that gets into your core when you touch down in Latin America. We want to share this with our travellers so that they too can share our passion for these regions.

Chad carey Managing Director

When I started discussing the idea of starting up a travel business to South America with my original co-founder (Greg Carter), I got very excited by the prospect and realised was the type of business that would really get me engaged in.

And am I glad we did! You can’t beat the thrill of doing something you love for a living. In my pre-Chimu life as an engineer, the work was just a job for me and wasn’t really something I got excited about. Now, I get excited just talking about travelling to South America – be it about a customer itinerary or a new product. It’s never dull as far as I’m concerned and I get to do it every day.
