Travel Quest

In search of a jaguar and an 18-foot anaconda. Seeing a jaguar in the wild is nearly impossible but working with one of the leading jaguar experts, Bill assists in a prey/predator study to get the best chance. In the process, he comes literally face to face with an 18 foot long Amazon Anaconda.

Violent oceans, giant icebergs, penguins and incredible scenery. Violent oceans, giant icebergs and incredible scenery are all in a day’s work in the Southern Continent. Bill shadows penguin researchers as they take population counts of one of the most fascinating birds on earth.

Legendary headhunters living deep in the rainforest. There is no place on earth with such diverse cultures has Papua New Guinea. Bill follows the trail of the legendary headhunters deep into the rainforest only to uncover secrets even more mysterious.

Searching for the soul of this modern ancient country. Follow Bill as he tours a medieval aristocrat's massive fortress that mirrors the Forbidden City. From giant burial mounds, to new Olympic sites, to still moving food, join Bill as he finds the soul of this modern ancient country.

A remote Pacific island that’s a diver’s paradise. This remote Pacific island is a diver’s paradise and Bill takes advantage of this by diving with giant Manta Rays the size of a small plane. The craziest dive though is when he feeds dozens of sharks with no protective gear. Trying to top that on land, Bill makes a mind blowing deal with a local chief to film where no one has filmed before…The Forbidden Island.

Discovering a rare lemur that dances and sings. Unlike in the Disney films, the real Madagascar has no talking lions, zebras or hippos. What it does have is the most unique collection of plants and animals anywhere on earth. Bill fights the nearly inaccessible land to find a rare lemur that dances and another one that sings.

Unforgettable adventures with the earth’s last nomadic people. There is nothing on earth that compares to Mongolia. Here the last nomadic people range their livestock over millions of acres of grasslands. Drinking fermented mare’s milk (worst tasting drink ever), riding a yak and finding the original wild horses are just a few of Bill's adventures in this enchanted land.

Tracking and filming polar bears. The Travel Quest crew takes an icebreaker to the North Pole just in time to make a satellite phone call to wish Bill's mother a happy birthday (she is so shocked she doesn't recognize him). We also track and film the biggest predators on earth…polar bears.

Coming face-to-face with our mighty cousins. Bill tracks through never ending mud, heavy vegetation and steep mountains, to come face-to-face with our mighty cousins. He also traces the life, and finds the remnants, of the camp of one of his idols - Diane Fossey.

Elephants, hippos, lions plus Victoria Falls. Botswana is a wildlife lover’s dream with massive herds of elephants, immense pods of hippos and some of the largest prides of lions anywhere. It’s also the home of Victoria Falls…the largest falls in the world. Bill was not content on just seeing the falls; he climbed to its base and took a shower under its pounding water. While there, he joined a whitewater raft team in order to film the most wild and treacherous rapids in the world.  He would not leave unscathed.

Crewing an America’s Cup yacht and Flying a Soviet MIG Jet. Bill had two adventures in mind as he visited the land of long clouds. He has always been fascinated with the Americas Cup yacht racing so he took a position on one as a grinder – it’s as intense as the name implies. But the big adventure is riding in, and then flying, a Soviet Mig Jet doing stunts and mind numbing close fly-bys. The pilot pushes Bill to the limit with 6 G's of pressure - enough to blackout many an unwary stunt flyer.

A spectacular African adventure. Bicycling is a safe and leisurely activity, until you decide to do it through the wilderness of Kenya with large lion, elephant and buffalo populations. If that adventure was not enough for Bill, he decided to go cliff climbing where baboons and leopards take refuge. Add tracking lions, walking up to rhinos and observing hyenas and you have a great African adventure.

The Komodo Dragon & The Orangutan. Bill had two wild icons he wanted to experience. The first is the largest lizard in the world - the Komodo Dragon. Walking among these massive beasts was unnerving to say the least. From there, he flew, drove, boated and trekked to meet Asia's one ape - the orangutan. These apes are ten times as strong as a human and will make you do what they want you to do.
