Mind-blowing experiences, moments of close escapes.

We are New Zealand based adventurers in pursuit of mind-blowing experiences and moments of close escapes. Often to far-flung places, in pursuit of Mother Nature at her worst.
We’ve chased destructive storms, descended into fiery volcanoes and explored remote locations from the Arctic to Antarctica.
While Mother Nature is sometimes a very destructive and fearsome force, she puts on the best show on Earth. It’s this connection which we love to explore and share.
