About UsReef and Rainforest Tours was founded in 1989 by our director, Alan Godwin, in west London. Although arranging rainforest holidays, he could hardly see a tree from his flat, so in 1994, Alan and his new wife, Caroline (our Company Secretary), moved to Totnes in Devon to be closer to nature and provide a better environment for raising a family. Tom arrived first in 1996, then Tilly two years later. The family have since travelled to such destinations as Dominica, Costa Rica, Madagascar, Honduras, Ecuador and the Galapagos, India, Maldives, Sri Lanka, Seychelles,Venezuela and Belize. Their combined experience has been invaluable when designing the exciting itineraries to be found in our Family Wildlife Adventures website. Furthermore, Tom's picture of a puma, taken in Venezuela's Los Llanos, won the runner-up prize in the 10 Years and Under category of the 2007 Shell Wildlife Photographer of the Year competition run by the Natural History Museum. The prize-giving ceremony in the museum's great hall in October 2007 was very much enjoyed by the family, and Tom's image was used in the main book as well as for fridge magnets, postcards and the July page of the NHM's 2007 calendar. Housed in our modern offices on the banks of the River Dart at Totnes, our staff also includes our General Manager Jonathan Morris, a doctor of marine biology; Helen Cox, a trained zoologist; Claire Roughley and Louise Lund, both with good degrees in tourism (Claire also holds black belt second dan in Tae Kwon Do); and our invaluable office administrator, Susie Randall, with a diploma in natural health therapy. All are inveterate travellers with an abiding love for wildlife and nature and travel and a flair for attention to detail. Despite some two decades of existence, Reef and Rainforest Tours has remained a small, specialist natural history travel company offering personal service to our valued clients. We pride ourselves on the number of repeat and word-of-mouth clients who travel with us on our painstakingly designed tailor-made holidays, and hope to add you to that list. Please call us on 01803 866 965 for an initial chat.

"Having never been on a tailor-made holiday we were extremely impressed with how smoothly our holiday went and it made our honeymoon much more enjoyable not to have to worry about the transfers. However, what impressed us most about your company was the helpfulness before we booked. Jonathan Morris was extremely helpful and suggested what we could afford on our budget and sent us a sample itinerary. . .This contrasted with a few other companies we contacted who told us that we could not afford a tailor-made Galapagos trip and would not even discuss it further. We had many emails and telephone conversations with Jonathan and were extremely impressed with the information and assistance he gave us." Dr R M — Berkshire |
