Henry Cookson

Spear’s Review

Described as the ‘billionaire’s travel whisperer’, Henry Cookson is first and foremost an adventurer.

Cookson set up Cookson Adventures in 2009 after record-breaking polar expeditions with royalty in tow. He aims to lead trips that will introduce people to the breathtaking beauty of rarely visited parts of the globe without endangering it – or the climate.

Working with scientists and local conservationists, guests are often part of cutting-edge research and leave ecological benefits behind them to benefit the communities they visit.

All trips are individually tailored and staffed with Cookson’s experienced crew of travel experts – one journey to the Antarctic involved two submersibles, three surface vessels, two helicopters and a staff of 30 – meaning clients are able to explore remote, biodiverse, usually unreachable locations without compromising on style or comfort.
