OUR MISSION:

To create moments and connections that change people’s lives and protect the ocean ecosystem.

WHAT DRIVES US:

Knowing that we build and promote ethical, respectful interactions that never jeopardise the wellbeing of animals.

Being the best in our category, That doesn’t mean fancy hotels or fake promises. It means having the highest standards. Caring about our guests more. Putting in more effort. Making sure we max out every resource we have to create INCREDIBLE experiences.

WE’RE HERE FOR YOU, NOT US

Most wildlife expeditions are run by content creators as a way to fund their content creation. Nothing wrong with that, as long as their guests know what to expect.

We are NOT content creators. We are experience facilitators. We aren’t going to ditch guests after the dive. We aren’t going to make you line up for a quick photo and then send you off to entertain yourselves. You’re the VIP, not us.

WE’RE EXTREMELY SELECTIVE

We vet guests through applications. Spicy, we know, but it helps us create an AMAZING group vibe of shared values and shared motivations. Let’s be real, we’ve all had a major experience ruined by one personality, and we don’t want to let that happen.

We are also extremely selective about operators we partner with, locations we choose, and the staff that represent us. We’d rather NOT deliver the trip than deliver something sub-par.

Humpbacks arrive in French Polynesia from July and stay through to November.

The official observation season is 20 July – 20 November, with the peak from August to mid-October. We run our expeditions in the peak window!

Nope! You need to be a confident, fit swimmer in deep open ocean — but no freediving certification or experience is required.

In French Polynesia you observe whales from the surface anyway, so breath-hold ability isn't the point!

Honestly, both.

It's active and physical — big ocean days, 200m+ swims over and over again — but we stay in a villa, with a private chef, a pool and a lot of laughing!

While we do stay in one location overnight, we’re not inclined to label our Mo’orea expedition as a ‘retreat’.

It’s incredibly active — we even categorised it as Level 3 on the Ocean Expedition Intensity rating!

Yes, within strict rules. French Polynesia is one of only a handful of places worldwide where in-water encounters with humpbacks are permitted, and it's tightly regulated — licensed operators only, limited numbers in the water, minimum distances. We only work with licensed local operators, and never force an interaction.

Your photography package focuses on:

• Our land adventures and life around the villa

• Lagoon portraits, scenes and wildlife shots

• Snorkelling and freediving photos in between whale swims

PLEASE NOTE: We cannot guarantee any human + whale photos. Whilst we have been lucky in the past, we feel that focusing on this type of photography negatively impacts the whales and the group dynamic.

We’d rather you leave with unforgettable encounters and a handful of beautiful memories, instead of chasing a single frame.

Please expect that the photographer may not be present in the water during most whale interactions. You, the guest, are the focus, not our photography portfolio.

We’ve been doing this for a while. We know that it’s the PEOPLE, not the wildlife/weather/accommodation/etc. that will make this a life-changing trip.

This is one of our more high-stakes, high-intensity expeditions, and we want to make sure you’re ready for this kind of adventure!

When we review applications we’re asking ourselves 3 questions:-

• Is your ocean experience and skill a good match for this?

• Do we share similar values around wildlife interaction and group dynamics?

• Do we fit with what you’re looking for?!

The application process is NOT about assessing your IG follower number or cool you are; it’s about us being super honest and ensuring that you’re going to get the most of of this adventure!

Trust us - this small extra effort on both sides means that you can turn up confident in the knowledge that you’ll be at the right level, with great people, who are all on the same page.

WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR IN APPLICATIONS

We want to make sure WE are a good fit for YOU!

It’s not about proving anything to us. We are reading your application with 3 things in mind:-

• Your experience/skill in the water. For this expedition we need you to be confident in deep open ocean, and we recommend taking a freediving course beforehand!

• Will this expedition meet your expectations and needs?

• Do we have shared values around wildlife, nature and thr group dynamic? We love hosting guests who want to connect with others, who respect nature and are here for more than just ‘content’.
