About Us

My photo
We work as ecotourism guides (as well as biologist and boat captain) often on the BC Coast, but also as far ranging as the Arctic and Antarctic. We have an insatiable curiousity for the planet; all its hidden gems and what makes them tick. That and our love of sailing is what inspired us to sail around the Pacific in Narama, our tough and pretty little sailboat.

Snorkeling in Vava'u

We spent six weeks in Vava’u (Tonga) and loved it.  We were in the water snorkeling nearly everyday and managed to identify 158 species of fish (well Heidi did, Stephen has an aesthetic appreciation).  Rather than bore with a long species list we put together a slide show of underwater images.  The soundtrack is a recording of Humpback Whales singing that we managed to record on a flat calm day without any boat traffic around.  We thought it was fitting to give you, dear reader, the virtual experience as we did often hear humpbacks singing while we were underwater!
