In 1768 he was given command of H.M.B. Endeavour with orders to sail to Tahiti to observe the transit of Venus as part of an international astronomical program. On board were naturalists who returned home with a rich harvest of botanical and zoological specimens, mostly of species unknown to European scientists. Also on board were chronometers, newly-invented instruments for determining longitude: Cook was to give them a test run for the Royal Navy. On the completion of his task in Tahiti, Cook had further orders to sail west seeking the supposed Terra australis incognita. Having circumnavigated New Zealand, Cook dropped anchor in Botany Bay in April 1770. From there he travelled north charting the east coast of what became known as Australia. Endeavour arrived back in the United Kingdom in July 1771. Cook's next voyage was in command of H.M.S. Resolution and H.M.S. Adventure. During this expedition, which departed from Plymouth in July 1772, Cook circumnavigated Antarctica, sailing further south than any previous mariner, and concluding that the land was surrounded by ice. He revisited New Zealand and charted many of the islands in the southern Pacific Ocean. Cook's final voyage was in command of H.M.S. Resolution and H.M.S. Discovery. On this expedition his orders were to investigate the northwest coast of the North American continent and the northern Pacific. Cook was killed in the Sandwich Islands in February 1779. The ships reached the United Kingdom in August 1780.

The scientific complement on these voyages included:
in Endeavour - Joseph Banks, naturalist; Daniel Solander, assistant to Banks; Herman Spöring, scientific secretary and later landscape artist; Sydney Parkinson, natural history draftsman;
in Resolution: William Anderson, surgeon for both the 2nd and 3rd voyages; Johann Reinhold Forster and Johann Georg Forster, naturalists on the 2nd voyage.
