Description

With so much time on the water there's also potential to encounter Smooth Hammerhead and Silky Sharks as well. So many different species traverse the region including many different types of whales, pods of bottlenose dolphin, mobula rays and even orca. The boat is positioned to to pursue any photo opportunities that pop up!
This trip is limited to five guest photographers ensuring that you will have plenty of time to shoot and one-on-one coaching.
What to Expect
Start each day with a buffet breakfast at the hotel restaurant before heading offshore.
Out in the open ocean even the Hammerheads approach for their close-up.
Spend 8 hours at sea each day with varying departure times (weather permitting) to coincide with different lighting conditions for images and videos; some days we will be on the water from 8am-4pm, other days from 11am to 7pm. Remember to keep your eyes peeled for other exciting megafauna!
Upon returning to the marina feel free to relax by the pool bar, edit photos from the day or go for an explore. In the evening, you're welcome to meet up for a group dinner at one of the many restaurants walking distance away.
