Our wildlife and conservation in action journeys and experiences are designed to give you close encounters with spectacular wildlife and a behind the scenes access to some of the best conservation organisations and their projects in the field.  The emphasis is on seeing and learning from experts in the field, and supporting these projects through financial contributions we are able to make as a result of your visit.

White water rafting can be an exhilarating experience.  An inflatable raft can also be an ideal way to explore rivers that other modes of transport simply cannot reach, unless perhaps you are an expert canoeist.

We have created opportunities to experience the wild waters of the Amazon, the White Nile, Malaysian Borneo, Costa Rica and the Choco-Andes region of western Ecuador.  We have also created four longer rafting expeditions to explore some of the best wilderness and wildlife in the Amazon Basin in Ecuador, Peru and Bolivia.

From The Equator to the Poles

Aqua-Firma and our team of professional divers, marine & environmental scientists have undertaken extensive research into some of the most inspiring dive sites in the World.  Our diving highlights range from the impressive pelagics of Galapagos and Cocos Island; to pristine coral reefs of Southeast Asia; the icy realms of the Arctic & Antarctic; and the whale sharks of Seychelles.

The Best of Above & Below Water

An important criteria of the destinations we travel to is the ability to combine a world class diving experience with an equally inspiring experience on land.  We are location experts as well as diving specialists, so if you have time we can help you to include an element of land-based exploration to provide some of the best combined diving and safari experiences imaginable.  Examples include combining diving in the Galapagos with travel to the Andes and Amazon; diving in East Africa with a wilderness safari; combining the reefs and rainforests of Borneo; or Cocos Island with an exploration of Costa Rica's coastal diving & inland adventure & wildlife highlights.

   World Class Diving - Deeper Insights

Aqua-Firma also offers a series of expert-led diving experiences which provide insights into marine science, conservation and underwater photography such as our whale shark tagging expeditions to Seychelles and our Arctic & Antarctic Dive & Photography expeditions.  The UK's Guardian newspaper recently ranked Aqua-Firma's Arctic Dive & Photography voyage to Spitsbergen Top of the Five Best Photography Holidays (Click Here for details).

Protecting the Marine Environment

Whilst we aim to enable you to explore some of the world's greatest diving locations, conservation of the marine environment you see with us is a priority.  Our first objective is to minimize any potential impact your visit may have and we therefore urge all divers to dive responsibly & safely.  Our team of environmental scientists and professional divers have developed a Responsible Diving Code of Conduct which is designed to protect the environment and make every diver's experience more rewarding.  For details, please click HERE.

We are also proud to contribute directly to marine protection in places where we dive.  In the Galapagos, for example, we are sponsors of the Galapagos Conservation Trust's Shark Campaign.

Aqua-Firma have created a selection of Wilderness Yacht and Lodge Safaris which combine the very best of the terrestrial and aquatic World : rainforests, tropical reefs, islands and icebergs.these wilderness areas are special for the density and diversity of wildlife as well as scenic beauty. 

Whether on board a natural history safari or a small ship expedition, a  yacht provides access to unspoilt, less trodden areas. Natural history experts are available to accompany you on your journey and share with you their knowledge and passion for nature.
