Misool-possibly one of the my favourite places on the planet. It's such a paddlers paradise. Limestone karst landscape, hidden lagoons, so many shades of blues and greens, the scenery never gets old.

Alfred Russel Wallace came up with the theory of e

Alfred Russel Wallace came up with the theory of evaluation alongside Darwin. He spent years travelling throughout Asia studying species and grappling with the idea of evolution. The book "where worlds collide" is about his life. This lagoon in Raja Ampat is where Wallace spent 6 weeks of his explorations studying the birds and endemic species of this area. Our guide for the afternoon was the grandson of Wallace's guide. What an incredible experience to walk the trails that Wallace walked, to see the basic hut he lived in, and observe birds at the base of the very same tree.

The limestone nature of Raja Ampat has created hundreds of cave features throughout the islands. From paddle throughs, to walking caves to paddling caves, the caves are a highlight of visiting this area.

The red bird of paradise, endemic to only two islands in Raja Ampat. Every morning at dawn, these males perform an intricate dance in the same tree in the jungle canopy. Attracting females with their call and dance. They are beautiful, endemic to Raja and a birders dream!

The incredible geological history of the Mergui Ar

The incredible geological history of the Mergui Archipelago is evident on so many of our kayak excursions. The granite, limestone and metamorphic rock create stunning vistas and some of the best rock hopping, cave paddling, and paddle throughs our Expedition Engineering team has paddled.

Sea kayaking Myanmar. Not many, if any, have explored this area by sea kayak and there is so much to discover! Our inaugural trip of the season and there were so many surprises around every corner. Incredible geology, encounters with the Moken culture or sea Gypsy’s, and awesome sea kayaking.

One morning we awoke to ten black tip reef sharks checking out our boat and our kayaks. From the top deck it was a beautiful sight watching these sharks gracefully swimming amongst each other and our boats.

It’s that time of year again as Expedition Engineering starts the season of kayaking in Raja Ampat. This is our staff heading off to one of the local villages to pick up our fleet of sea kayaks for the start of the season. It’s always super exciting to get back to “island time”. To slow down, snorkel amongst beautiful coral and fish, enjoy the sun, the ocean, and beach living!

Going on a walkabout in Baffin Island. Where granite peaks connect the sky to the land. The scale of the valleys and peaks is deceptive. We encountered polar bear tracks on this walk, glacier fed creeks, and tundra plants thriving in the short summer sun. A place like no other.

We never know what we are going to find around the next bend. On this trip to Myanmar we stumbled across a massive crack in the cliff face. Turns out, with little to no swell we were able to paddle through the whole cliff face! Never before have I paddles through a tiny slot like this one. The next time we were paddling in this zone, the swell was too big to even consider doing this manoeuvre. Life lesson: when the opportunity presents itself- take it!

West Greenland was a never ending parade of humpback whales going about their daily lives, and totally enthralling us with their antics. To see them feeding, playing, and moving up close and personal is truly humbling. What an amazing species that we have the opportunity to be in the presence of.

The first sighting of icebergs is always filled with excitement. These were the first two real bergs we saw as we crossed from Iceland to Greenland. Soon they become common place, but every time they are a beautiful sight to behold.

The stark beauty of East Greenland from a kayak. Life seems so simple in a kayak. All you need is a Kayak, paddle, and new views around every corner. This was an incredible day in East Greenland paddling beneath amazing geological features. The water was glassy, the air crisp and vibrant, a feeling of energy coursing through the air.

We took an afternoon away from our kayaks to explore this incredible glacier carved river valley. The colours of the flora were incredibly brilliant against a backdrop of icebergs, rock and water. These plants have such a limited growing season and it’s amazing how they carve out a living space amongst the harsh environment.

The scale of Baffin Island is so large. You can see our “little” sailboat in the bottom right corner. Paddling from place to place was a constant readjustment of distances as there are no trees for reference, just massive granite peaks, ice, and water. We all felt very small in this big place.

Whales, whales, whales! We saw so many whales on the west coastline of Greenland. From the shore, from the sailboat, from our kayaks they never disappointed! Humpbacks and fin whales greeted us everyday. Seeing them so close from a kayak is always an exhilarating experience, if not a little nerve racking! This humpback totally surprised us. It came up out of the blue, right beside us as we were marvelling at the icebergs.
