Redfern's Giant Nepenthes expedition takes you to the tropical islands of Borneo and Palawan to see the largest and most spectacular carnivorous plants on the planet. From the giant Nepenthes rajah and N. attenboroughii, to the menacing N. edwardsiana and N. macrophylla, to the beautiful N. burbidgeae and striking N. lowii, the magnificent tropical pitchers plants really do look like creations of science fiction.

Participants on this expedition will also encounter a wealth of orchid species, not to mention giant Rafflesia, spectacular scenery, and more often than not some of the unique wildlife endemic to these islands.
