The waitlist is officially open! Four expedition windows are planned for August–October 2027 - the spots will open to the waitlist first.

Every year a small number of guests swim with humpback whales in Mo'orea alongside me. The trips are tiny on purpose — four guests per expedition, no crowds, all the time the whales decide to give us. Weeks sell from this list before any public announcement. The waitlist is the only way in. Want to see exactly how these weeks run - the rhythm, the villa, the ocean days? This year's Mo’orea page is the blueprint.

“Connection is what makes us feel alive — not just with the whale in front of you, but with the people you share that moment with. It leaves you stoked. Hungry for life. And that feeling carries into the everyday and keeps us inspired — which is exactly what we need if we want to change the world.”
