Incredible cave straw formations

We went caving again this past weekend, exploring somewhere truly special. We had secured special permission to enter a restricted, incredibly fragile cave that very few people ever get to witness. The highlight was a ceiling blanketed in thousands of delicate straws. These straws are formed ...

Ambrym’s Volcanoes: The Ultimate Visitor’s Guide (2026)

Few places on Earth feel as primal as Ambrym. This remote volcanic island in Vanuatu's Malampa Province is dominated by a formidable active volcano whose presence shapes everything about the island. Getting there is not easy, and reaching the volcano itself is harder still, requiring ...

Motutapu Island Circumnavigation

Not only are we slowly walking the entire coastline of New Zealand. we're also circumnavigating a number of islands along the way. We've nearly completed Waiheke and have already circumnavigated Rakino, Motuora and Rangitoto. This weekend we ticked off Motutapu. What struck us the most is ...

Iceland Aurora Season 2025

Expedition Iceland 2022

Iceland has always been on our bucket list, but the prospect of flying for 36 hours or more to get there from New Zealand was a daunting (and costly) prospect. We made a pact that when a volcano erupts in Iceland, we'd go. And when ...

Circumnavigating the Manukau Harbour

During New Zealand's second major lockdown, Auckland was cut off from the rest of the country. We couldn’t leave its borders, but we could travel anywhere within the region. Having hiked every trail, climbed every volcano, and explored every regional park, our options were running ...
