#VOPOexpedition #TEMANA18 is a curated, inter-island ecological adventure, exploring the challenges of nature across the Society Islands, from #coralregeneration to humpback whale conservation, before jetting towards an outstanding sailing live-aboard experience in the remote, exquisite #Fakarava UNESCO Biosphere. It is our passion to design a journey that allows you to leave schedules behind and start living by the sunrise. Let us align the stars. After an initial research trip in 2017, VOPO will return to French Polynesia with our fantastic partners, @tahititourismau and @moorea.coral.gardeners. You have the opportunity to join a team of 8 global guests taking on an adventure drenched in Pape'ete city vibes, te mana of #Moorea and remote, exquisite Fakarava wild oceans. Locals and guests together embark on this immersive, highly intellectual experience that meticulously explores wilderness and culture alongside modern science and enterprise. Wrapped up in a holiday package envied by the Gods. Using the #Brainmelt and #Wildesign methodology, you will have the tools to create viable, sustainability-led solutions with a passionate group of pioneers from across #AsiaPacific. Incredible encounter in the waters of #Moorea, captured by our dear friend @toutiess, founding member of @moorea.coral.gardeners. #pacificislands #remotesailing #freedive #biomimicry #conservation

How can we unravel the depths of rich Earthly spirit, captivated by ancient forest and enthralled by vast ocean horizons. All to conjure solutions for a spectacular future? The smell of rain as it hits the squishy, leaf littered ground, with a wave of cool air that transcends through you and assures you, that YOU ARE ALIVE. As long as 4,000 years ago, ‘Wayfinders’ travelled fantastic distances using extraordinary wilderness navigation. With the ability to innately sense the presence of islands, our Polynesian neighbors traversed by reading the stars, feeling the ripples of our oceans, dancing with the energy of wind, negotiating with the clouds and worshipping life’s all-encompassing sunlight. One of the faux pas of history was the failure of early Europeans to truly comprehend the genius of phenomenal Pacific voyagers. This extraordinary repository of seafaring knowledge was overlooked in the pursuit of industrial and material exploits. What was naively identified as superior, say, a compass, became an interpretation of the world that has inhibited much of modern culture to harness our blatantly innate wisdom and divine human power. Well, the tides have definitely changed. 🌊🐋🌕✨🌴 Glide into a warm, royal blue abyss with revered humpback whales, adore rare, mystical encounters with schooling hammer head sharks. Gaze into ever-blazing sunsets with an exclusive group of fellow Earth explorers. Imagine, you’ll be gathering coconuts by daybreak, fueling the unforgettable memories you’re about to make. In an eye opening journey of planetary adoration, we intimately present to our @vopo.earth friends, the muse to our soul, #FrenchPolynesia. Perhaps neither you, or the world will ever be quite the same after October. Photograph captured by ever-curious @toutiess our dear friend and founding member of @moorea.coral.gardeners. Alongside @tahititourismau, together with local pioneers and thought-leaders, we will showcase the ecological beauty of Tahiti, her islands and the Pacific spirit.

The future looks bright... in just a matter of days, we will launch #KAWAKI #ecotourism in the #SolomonIslands as a @vopo.earth destination. LET’S GET WILD & WRITE THE FUTURE TOGETHER 🌿🌊 #sustainability #paradiseisland #photographerwanted 📸 @djunapix
Only one day left to apply for the #VOPOexpedition #FilmScholarship! Awarded to an aspiring, local #SolomonIslands photo/videographer. Apply now, follow @vopo.earth or tag your favourite 📸🎥 vopo.earth/film #Competition #VOPOearth #sustainabletravel #ecotourism #arnavonislands
As a species, we often disempower ourselves with the belief that Earth’s challenges are beyond us. Regardless of your industry or profession, we can dramatically shift the trajectory of the planet through our every day existence. Whether you are a marine biologist working directly in the field, or a customer service operator in a corporate office. You can make change. Within yourself, your surroundings and the world in which you immediately inhabit. The purpose of VOPO Expeditions sits in alignment with one of our fundamental drivers, which is to be the voice for those making positive change and to be a voice for those who seek it. Don’t like ocean pollution? Vote with your support of people working to eradicate it. You choose through the products you consume and the services you experience. Does it piss you off that the richest 3% of the world hold as much money as the rest of the globe? Celebrate the initiatives that challenge this. Are you over mass tourism that separates people from the culture of a destination and puts money straight into the pockets of concrete conglomerates rather than investing in the vibrancy of diversity, the economy of locals and protection of wild space? Everybody needs a holiday once in a while. Make it world saving.

Devoted community action by the #ArnavonMarinePark team on night patrol! The #ArnavonIslands are the largest rookery for the critically endangered hawksbill turtle in the South Pacific. The #hawksbillturtle was almost locally wiped out by hunting and trade, but since the establishment of a sanctuary, nest numbers and female survival rates have doubled. Now, the region is entering into it’s next phase with the support of @vopo.earth. Developing sustainable industries that continue to protect nature, whilst employing and up-skilling the surrounding villages. This is a national feat, including the development of service offerings, engaging government and flight company @solomonairlines for the most effective solutions. Can you believe the turtles our Arnavon friends protect are the exact same turtles that catch currents to Australia’s #GreatBarrierReef? Even more reason to invest in a holiday that keeps on giving, to you and the planet. 📷 @djunapix #tropicalparadise #worldoceansday #sustainabletourism #enterprise #conservation #travelideas #getshitdone
Have you ever considered how these glorious little islets form? A divers dream, sprinkled like natures glitter across the sea 🙏🏼 The #SolomonIslands is an archipelago formed by the exposed peaks of a submerged mountain chain. Almost all of the larger islands are volcanic in origin and are covered with steaming rain-forests and mountain ranges intersected by narrow valleys. Most of the smaller islands are low coral atolls. Solomon Islands lies on the Transitional Zone along the edge of the Pacific and Australian #tectonicplates, energizing it with earthquakes and common volcanic activity. Last minute holiday vibes getting to you? Jump onboard for our special wilderness #impactadventure to the #ArnavonIslands this July 🐬✨ 📷 @djunapix #ecotourism #marinereserve #islandholiday #travelblogger #pacificislander
