BEYOND THE ORDINARY   Photo & Naturalist Tours :

Beyond the Ordinary Tours cater exclusively for wildlife enthusiasts and underwater photographers. 90 percent of dive sites are thoroughly surveyed and proven popular with photographers and bio-diversity scientists. Because you will wish to be familiar with the animals and learn more about their behavior, some sites are dived 2 –3 times. Photographers will have plenty of opportunities to reload film and change lenses. Our land visits during our Galápagos expedition are at least 3 hours.  We restrict our numbers, which improves the quality of your marine life experience – animals are less likely to be frightened away. Photographers will have ample space for the optimum photo opportunities. Because we want you to enjoy the experience both underwater and above, we only select first class operations for accommodation, dive operations and live-aboards. However some of the best diving is in remote corners of the world, the operation may not be 5-star, but the service and diving will be.

Photographers will have ample space for the optimum photo opportunities. If you signed up for trip that are designated as photographic trip, you will have the option to participate in our unique ONE STEP Beyond the Ordinary Photo workshop cater for both film and digital photographer. Regardless on all expedition, I will be happy to advise on-the-spot tips for photography and answer any questions as accurately as possible. On most trip, an we will have a biologist or naturalist to provide marine life interpretation, discussion on behavior, sex and lifestyle of marine animals. Beyond the Basic tours is all about sharing experiences, and bringing back better pictures…be it on films or just in your mind.

Every year, between the months of May and July, millions of sardines migrate north from the cold water off South Africa's Cape Point.

As the dolphins herd the sardines into a tight ball and push them towards the surface, garnets falls like snow balls from the sky to feast. This is a special focus expedition designed for optimum interaction opportunities.
