Questions


Does using Matt cost more than booking direct?

No. The operator pays Matt. You pay the same or less than booking yourself, often with perks you cannot get on your own.

How fast will I hear back?

Matt calls you within one business day and emails your itinerary the same day.

When should I book a winter trip?

Antarctic season is November to March and gorilla permits are limited per day, so earlier is better.

Can Matt book something not on this page?

Yes. These are his winter picks. He also specializes in luxury river cruises, bespoke land tours, Arctic and Galapagos expeditions, and small-ship ocean sailings. Pick the closest option and tell him what you have in mind.

Are the prices exact?

Prices shown are each operator’s starting rate and change with season and cabin. Matt confirms the exact price for your dates before you commit to anything.
