MORE SHELLS ARE COMING - ON SALE From JUNE To SEPTEMBER
Our Tour
Exclusive Shell & Snail Hunting Expeditions (3-4 Days)
Take your passion for conchology out of the display cabinet and into the wild! We are thrilled to offer exclusive 3-4 day hunting expeditions, designed specifically for dedicated collectors and nature enthusiasts.
Guided by our expert team and seasoned locals, these immersive tours take you straight to the natural habitats of some of the most sought-after specimens. Depending on the time of year, we offer two distinct adventures:
The Rainy Season: Forest Snail Night Expeditions (May – November)
Right now, as the May rains begin to awaken the ecosystem, it is the absolute perfect time to hunt for terrestrial snails. Venture deep into the lush, untamed jungles under the cover of darkness. With the guidance of indigenous trackers, you will navigate the forest at night—the exact time when spectacular land snails, including striking Amphidromus and Cyclophorus species, are most active. This is a rare opportunity to observe and collect breathtaking specimens right in their natural environment.
The Dry Season: Marine Shell Expeditions (November – April)
When the rains subside, our focus shifts to the coast. Join us as we explore pristine shorelines, hidden coves, and tidal zones to discover an array of exquisite marine shells, guided by experts who know exactly where the ocean leaves its greatest treasures.
An All-Inclusive Experience: To ensure your expedition is safe, comfortable, and focused entirely on the thrill of the hunt, we take care of all the logistics. Your tour package includes:
Airport Pick-Up & Private Transportation
Your adventure begins the moment you step out of the airport. We provide personal airport meet-and-greet services, round-trip airport transfers, and all private ground transportation throughout the expedition. You won’t have to worry about navigating local traffic or booking rides; we will take you directly from the airport to the hunting grounds.
Comfortable Accommodation
Rest and recharge in clean, secure, and comfortable lodging situated close to our hunting sites. After a long night trekking in the forest or a day exploring the coastline, you can look forward to a relaxing space equipped with modern amenities (including air conditioning and hot showers) to comfortably prepare for your next outing.
Authentic Meals & Field Refreshments
Experience genuine local hospitality with delicious, safe, and authentic regional dining provided throughout your entire trip. We cover all your daily meals, along with plenty of bottled water, local coffee, and energy-boosting snacks to keep you fueled during our late-night jungle treks or early morning beach walks. (Dietary restrictions can be accommodated upon request).
Professional Equipment & Gear
You don't need to overpack; we supply the specialized gear required for your safety and success. This includes high-lumen headlamps and specialized lighting for spotting nocturnal forest snails, essential safety gear for jungle terrain (such as insect repellent and rainwear for the wet season), and professional collecting tools, boxes, and containers to keep your delicate specimens safe during transport.
Local Expertise & Guidance
Beyond the physical amenities, you are accompanied 24/7 by our expert malacology team and experienced indigenous trackers. We handle all local navigation and access, ensuring your hunt is not only highly productive but also completely safe.
