Highlights
Daniel Stavert
Expedition Leader
Daniel is an experienced Expedition Guide, Kayak Guide and Naturalist from the Blue Mountains in Australia. He has always been drawn to the beauty of wild places, the extremes of cold and light, and the abundance of life that can be found there. A curiosity for engaging in landscapes both physical and human led him to earn a Bachelor of Arts in History and gain additional qualifications in outdoor recreation, including an Australian national certification in training and assessment.
Daniel has guided people through the wilderness in Australia, Greenland, Svalbard, Fiji, the UK, Norway, and Antarctica. He possesses technical skills and experience in extended trip planning, wilderness first aid and expedition medicine, search and rescue, rock climbing and abseiling instruction, and expedition sea kayaking. He is passionate about the natural world and wildlife and has a remarkable capacity to teach and train others. Daniel’s extensive knowledge and friendly demeanor make him a valuable asset to the expeditions he joins.
Pia Harboure
Photography Guide
As a child growing up in the 80s, Pia was fascinated by film and the power of images. Today, she still loves the role photography can play in creating awareness and inspiring social change. She asked for her first camera at age 9, started taking photography classes in high school and went on to study a degree in Audio-Visual Production and Photography. After graduating, Pia started her global education, traveling everywhere from Patagonia to Sri Lanka to the polar regions, working as a portrait and documentary photographer.
She has spent the last decade sharing the technical and creative photographic tips she has learned with travelers. For the past five years, she has tilted her practice to more collaborative and sustainable projects in areas of human rights issues, working for NGOs like UNICEF.
Tarn Pilkington
IFMGA Mountain Guide & Alpine Program Specialist
Tarn works year round in the outdoors of NZ and is qualified as an IFMGA Mountain and Ski guide. Since visiting Antarctica for the first time in 1994 he has returned over 15 times and admits to being completely addicted.
He is based in Queenstown NZ, his home of 25 years. Tarn spends the winter months heli skiing and ski touring and during the long South Island Summers he guides and works on film and television productions as a safety officer. He is also contracted as the Crew Chief for the local Air Ambulance service and volunteers for the local Alpine Cliff Rescue Team.
In his spare time, Tarn gets out on his mountain bike or skis as much as possible to explore his home patch in the beautiful southern lakes of the South Island.
