Pangea
Expeditions
Ethical wildlife encounters for those who want to connect with the ocean, not just visit it.
Our Philosophy
A world without borders between people and wildlife
The name Wild Pangea is inspired by Pangea. the ancient supercontinent that once connected all of Earth's landmasses. We believe in restoring that sense of connection between people, wildlife, and the ocean.
Wild reflects the raw, untamed beauty we seek to protect. Our expeditions leave a positive impact. prioritising conservation, supporting local communities, and ensuring every encounter is respectful and meaningful.

2026 Flagship Expedition
Swim with humpback whales

Kind Words
From those who've been there
Life changing in every sense.
I honestly don't think I'll ever experience anything quite like swimming beside a humpback whale and her calf. Szabi and the team created such a calm, respectful atmosphere. no rushing, no crowds, just quiet awe. I came for the photography, but I left with a deeper love for the ocean.
Professional, personal, and incredibly moving.
The crew was fantastic. super skilled at timing the swims with the whales perfectly. We swam with whales every single day and felt completely safe throughout. Would definitely recommend.
More than a trip.
Wild Pangea doesn't just show you animals. they teach you how to respect them. Every encounter was done with care, and the team's passion for conservation was inspiring. Moorea itself is paradise.
Exceeded every expectation.
I was nervous at first. worried about swimming in deep water, not being a photographer. But Szabi and the crew were incredibly supportive. Hearing a whale's song underwater is something I'll carry for the rest of my life.
