We are SO excited for our French Polynesia trips to start this month. What a special place this lil island is. These are our favorite film photos from over the years there and there’s something about film that really captures this place so well ☀️⛰️🌴

A moment to pause and reflect, not just on the state of the planet, but on our role within it.

Conservation means standing at the intersection of awe and urgency: witnessing nature’s brilliance while confronting the fragility of what’s at stake.

Today, I’m taking time to look back, on the ocean projects I’ve contributed to, the communities I’ve learned from, and the stories I’ve had the privilege to tell.

Let’s protect what protects us: the oceans, the land, the air, the wild.

Just like Captian Paul Watson said “If the ocean dies, we die”.

Norway // November 15–21, 2025 🐋
We’re heading north for one of the most magical experiences on Earth: swimming alongside wild orcas in the Arctic fjords. November is peak season for herring and where the herring go, the orcas follow.

Think: crisp polar sunrises, surreal underwater encounters, steaming saunas, and cozy cabins on a ship surrounded by snowy peaks.

We’ve got just 1 spot left to join this unforgettable journey.
If you’ve been waiting for a sign, this is it. 🖤

DM for details or check the link in bio.

Not your average adventure. This is the real north.

We’re teaming up with @greatexped because their Arctic expeditions are the kind of travel that actually moves you, small crew, traditional schooners, and a rhythm set by the land, sea, and sky.⁠
⁠
If you’ve ever dreamed of witnessing the wild majesty of Svalbard, Greenland, or maybe, if you’re very lucky, even spot a narwhal 😳 these 2025 trips are your sign.⁠
⁠
We’ll be co-creating something special for 2026, but trust me… these upcoming voyages already look incredible.⁠
