Michael Laws in Ecuador, Ecuador Unplugged

Talking your way out of a jam is second nature to politicians like Michael Laws, but he finds himself hampered in Ecuador since he doesn't speak the language. Michael takes a trip into another world as he floats down the Amazon River, beginning with sampling one of the local witch doctor's remedies. He later has the dubious pleasure of visiting a town that has been officially closed by the local government because it is in imminent danger from an erupting volcano nearby.

Craig Parker in Nepal, Nepal Adventure

Craig may seem unflappable when he is playing the role of Dr Alistair Kingsley on Mercy Peak, but the trek into the foothills of the Himalayas has him hot and bothered. His trip requires him to carry his possessions on his back for seven days while hiking through the Nepalese hinterlands. He ascends higher than the height of New Zealand's own Mt Cook, but Sir Edmund Hilary mountaineering laurels are safely out of Craig's reach.

Marcus Lush in Egypt, Discover Egypt

It takes something as spectacular as the pyramids of Egypt to take the words out of Marcus Lush's mouth, so that's where the first season finale of Intrepid Journeys sends him! He stops at all of the usual tourist attractions, but then strikes out on his own floating down the Nile in a felucca and also aboard one of the ships of the desert while traveling overland. Marcus has an adventure that he won't soon forget, and takes us along for the ride.
