Nakawe Experiences

Nakawe Experiences’ mission is to improve the preservation of the environment by fostering a relationship between humans and nature and address the root cause of environmental issues: human behavior. We aim to create meaningful, life-changing experiences for our guests that will inspire them to become more intimately involved in conservation long after their experience with us is over.

On the ground, in the remote places we visit, our expeditions will support conservation, research, and community engagement efforts that serve to bring long-term sustainable relationships between humans and nature.

By participating in a Nakawe Experience, you are more than just another traveler. You are an active participant in our global effort to build a healthy future for the planet and the species we share it with. Stay tuned for more details on our experiences and launch dates - register to our newsletter to keep receiving updates!

No, but you'll need:

- Good physical condition
- Swimming skills
I’m not a strong swimmer, can I join?

It is a requirement that all participants must be able to swim and feel comfortable in water to join our Marlin, Sharks and Mobula expeditions. This is for your own safety and comfort. You do however not need to be a very strong swimmer, merely able to swim and be comfortable in the water.
What age do I need to be?

Can I bring a camera underwater?

Of course! You are free to take your own photos or video on our experiences with us, but we ask that your equipment is attached to your body in one way or another, for example with a wrist band. We do however not advise that you take lights, flashes or strobes.

Make sure that you read the instructions that come with your photography equipment of how deep and/or cold you are allowed to take it underwater, we strongly encourage you to follow them thoroughly. We do not take any responsibility of lost or damage photography gear that may happen on tour with us.
