Finally arrived on the Isle of Pines

After more then 48 hours of travelling we finally arrived on the Isle of Pines where we will start looking for the Crested Gecko in the wild!

Today we will prepare all material and make sure our equipment is ready. We will film the Crested Gecko in the wild and hopefully will come back with never seen footage.

We will keep you posted!

In New Caledonia

We just arrived in Noumea, the capital of New Caledonia.

One more flight this afternoon to the Isle of Pines! It has been a long journey so far...

Almost there

The team arrived safely in Tokyo after an 11 hour flight and we now just boarded the Air Calin flight to New Caledonia.

It will take another 10 hours before we land in the capital Noumea. From there it is only a short flight to the Isle of Pines, our final destination.

I will keep you posted!

Two more days!

Right now the Exo Terra team is preparing for the "Crested Gecko Expedition" to the Isle of Pines in New Caledonia. In only two days the team will leave from Brussels, Belgium to the other side of the globe in the South Pacific.

Once on the small island, south of the main island, the team will search for the illusive Crested Gecko. A common name in herpetoculture today, but note that the Crested Gecko was only rediscovered in 1995 after it was presumed extinct for nearly a century. 

The Exo Terra team will film the Crested Gecko in the wild and report on its natural history. Stay tuned for daily updates!
