Aventuras Únicas Expedições de Iate Explore Comunicações Sobre Nós EN PT NL Início - Sobre Nós - Explorar com Propósito Explorar com Propósito Besides our passion for high adrenaline adventures, and our love for learning about other cultures, traditions, and their history; the main reason we founded V&J is that with every itinerary or high octane levelled adventure we really strive to make a difference. When you travel with us you are supporting the planet, you can learn and assist hands-on in conservation projects, support antipoaching unites, wildlife orphanages and sanctuaries that protect the wildlife with their own life and make a difference. We create remarkable journeys and private events among the most exceptional destinations, bachelor parties, birthdays, honeymoons, family reunions, a break with friends, or any other adventure. Nevertheless, we never neglect the ethics of travelling, the impact on the local community and environment. Leaving a positive impact with your presence is what we can define as responsible travel. Clients that travel with V&J are very seasoned travellers, and walk with the question, what’s next? That’s exactly where we specialized ourselves in, to go beyond the exceptional. We combine the client’s inspiration and create itineraries combining educational and unforgettable entertainment that shows what meaningful conservation efforts look like and offers knowledge that enhances the whole experience. Some of our activities can include: assisting in restoring coral reefs in the Maldives or the Fiji Islands; head into the African bush and help veterinarians and rangers with ear notching rhinos in South Africa; visit pioneering wildlife orphanages that rescue, protect and rehabilitate elephants, rhinos and many other wildlife in Kenya; discover the beauty of our underwater world such as the Cocos Islands or the South Pacific together with marine biologists and scientists and experience first-hand about the conservation of ocean life; or even volunteer and help in the conservation of sea turtles in São Tomé & Principe. “Sadly, there are still a lot of so-called sea turtle experiences where tourists are allowed to engage in activities that represent a serious problem and are not really helpful.” – Vanessa Mestre Through the last years we build a unique network of wildlife scientists, veterinarians, rangers, wildlife photographers and conservation projects that are experts in handling wildlife, so that you can interact with them on a way that you have never imagined before, and in a safe manner – creating truly life changing experiences. Our ecosystems don’t just accommodate wildlife and beautiful sceneries, they also include local communities. Out of our experience, conservation efforts have the ultimate effect when the affected communities actively support and lead the work themselves. For example, in Kenya, locals that used to poach wildlife for their own survival are re-educated into rangers or wildlife day care workers that dedicated their lives now to conservation and preservation of wildlife and their environment; or the inhabitants of the Maldives of Moorea in Fiji that are restoring complete coral reefs; or even in in São Tomé & Principe, where former fishermen that used to hunt turtles are now part of the team that helps to preserve the species. However, like we all are aware, most of the times in some countries there are funding constrains. To travel responsible or to “explore with purpose” helps and supports the much-needed protection efforts, such as training, or fund gear, food, supplies and maintenance for wildlife orphanages. By travelling with V&J you fund these conservation organisations and empower local communities to participate in and benefit from conservation.

Unieke Avonturen Jacht Expedities Ontdek De Numinous Wie Zijn Wij EN PT NL Home - De Numinous - U-Boat Worx U-Boat Worx Juni-2022 Afgelopen november (2021) brachten wij een bezoek aan het hoofdkantoor van U-boat Worx in Breda, Nederland. Zoals jullie weten, is een groot deel van onze avonturen gepaard met de meest uitzonderlijke expeditie jachten naar de meest afgelegen bestemmingen over de hele wereld. Als officiële partner van U-boat Worx zijn wij in de gelegenheid om de meest moderne en geavanceerde duikboten op de markt aan te bieden tijdens jouw avontuur. U-Boat Worx is zonder twijfel de pionier in elk aspect van onderwaterexploratie. Sinds de oprichting heeft U-Boat Worx de normen gedefinieerd om uitzonderlijke duikboten te creëren. Elke onderzeeër is handgemaakt en staat onder toezicht van hun eigen interne experts om ervoor te zorgen dat elk detail perfect is. Het was de droom van Bert Houtman om duikboten te maken die de beste duikervaring bieden, een droom die is uitgekomen en uitmuntendheid blijft leveren. Elke U-Boat Worx-onderzeeër is ontworpen om ongeëvenaard comfort, ruimte en stijl te bieden. Al hun onderzeeërs hebben maximale been en hoofdruimte, terwijl het totale gewicht en de afmetingen tot een minimum worden beperkt. Deze combinatie zorgt voor de ultieme duikervaring. Toen wij aan boord stapte in één van hun Cruise Subs in hun productielijn, merkte wij direct het gemak van het in- en uitstappen. Wij werden daarna begeleid in een van de acrylrompen - vergeet niet dat in dit model 9 passagiers passen inclusief de piloot - het heldere zicht was echt indrukwekkend, vanwege de strategische plaatsing van alle apparatuur en componenten met de combinatie van de efficiënte airconditioning voor comfort en de surround-muziek transformeert deze ervaring in een 360º live-theater. Volledige flexibiliteit en omnidirectionele beweging zijn de kenmerken van U-Boat Worx duikboten. Ze zijn echt ideaal voor wrakduiken en het ontdekken van de meest uitdagende wateren. Hun duikboten zijn ontworpen met intelligente boegschroefconfiguraties om de manoeuvreerbaarheid met maximale capaciteit te optimaliseren. Geavanceerde Computational Fluid Dynamics wordt gebruikt om de romp te stroomlijnen om de efficiëntie te maximaliseren en de weerstand te verminderen, waardoor de juiste vermogensinstellingen worden verkregen om alle omstandigheden van getij en stroming tegen te gaan. Wat ze nog indrukwekkender maakt, is dat hun duikboten minimaal 8 duiken per dag kunnen maken zonder bij te vullen, en sommige modellen kunnen tot 12 duiken maken zonder bij te vullen. Dankzij hun overvloedige zuurstofcapaciteit en grote koolstofdioxidefilters en batterijsystemen met hoge capaciteit kunnen ze tot 18 uur werken. Om tijdens uw V&J jacht expeditie een duikboot tot uw beschikking te hebben is onmisbaar. Met een duikboot aan boord zorgen we ervoor dat we de vaarroute langs adembenemende duikplekken ontwerpen zodat je magische momenten kunt beleven tijdens het verkennen van de onderwaterwereld. Wij willen Eckly Hendriks (U-Boat Worx International Sales Manager) bedanken voor het warme welkom en de kennismaking met U-boat Worx. < Vorig Artikel Volgend Artikel > RNAVT 7818 Bedrijf geregistreerd in Portugal Privacybeleid Algemene Voorwaarden > Neem Contact Op info@voyagesjourneys.com +351 917 800 008

Unieke Avonturen Jacht Expedities Ontdek De Numinous Wie Zijn Wij EN PT NL Home - De Numinous - Extreme Bestemmingen Zet Koers naar 's Werelds Meest Extreme Bestemmingen September-2022 Iedereen kent de beroemde jachtbestemmingen zoals de Middellandse Zee of delen van het Caribisch gebied, wat natuurlijk nooit saai is. Bij Voyages & Journeys willen we je de mogelijkheden laten zien buiten deze bekende vaarroutes, routes waar we echt in ons element zijn! En dan hebben we ook onze "ben je helemaal gek" bestemmingen, wat wordt gezien als gevaarlijke reiszones is voor ons een bestemming voor het ultieme avontuur. Met de verbazingwekkende mogelijkheden die de dag van vandaag mogelijk zijn met de nieuwste ontdekkingsjachten, wordt de lijst met NO-GO bestemmingen over de hele wereld kleiner en kleiner, uiteraard bestemmingen zoals de Golf van Guinee of het eiland Margarita zijn nog steeds Piraten hotspots. Maar enkele van 's werelds meest afgelegen en uitdagende bestemmingen beginnen hun geheimen prijs te geven. Bij V&J besteden we aanzienlijk wat tijd tijdens onze dagelijkse activiteiten om deze bestemmingen te bestuderen en op de hoogte te blijven, dankzij deze inspanningen zijn we in staat om uitzonderlijke jacht expedities te ontwerpen en aan te bieden in deze afgelegen uithoeken van de wereld voor de rusteloze jachteigenaren, charteraars. Helaas worden de uitdagingen en beperkende factoren in verkenningstermen rond deze bestemmingen door de mensheid zelf gecreëerd. Piraterij, conflictgebieden, slechte beveiliging en zelfs kernwapen proeven maken sommige plaatsen onbereikbaar. Dit soort expedities vereist vaardigheid, kennis en knowhow van gespecialiseerde gidsen of piloten, om nog maar te zwijgen van de lokale relaties waar je moet over beschikken om de juiste vergunningen te verkrijgen. Dit is waar de kracht, betrouwbaarheid en kennis van V&J van pas komt, met het diepgaande achtergrond van Vanessa en Jasper van hun werkzaamheden in de meest barre omgevingen over de hele wereld tijdens hun offshore werkzaamheden, zijn we bij V&J meer dan voorbereid om de meest opwindende expedities aan te bieden, of u nu een jachteigenaar, charteraar of makelaar bent. Om expedities van dit kaliber uit te voeren, moet je dit niet lichtvaardig opvatten, de kosten kunnen aanzienlijk oplopen, maar die kosten vallen in het niets in vergelijking met de waarde van het jacht en, nog belangrijker, de veiligheid van de passagiers. De basis van een onvergetelijke jachtexpeditie is planning, planning en voorbereidingen voor eventuele onvoorziene of medische onvoorziene gebeurtenissen. Onder deze extreme bestemmingen kan een ziekenhuis zelfs per helikopter meer dan een dag ver zijn. Tijdens heliski-operaties op Groenland of Antarctica moet er een tweede helikopter of tweede schip zijn voor reddingsoperaties. Tijdens onze jachtexpedities is er altijd een V&J-specialist aan boord om de kapitein en de bemanning bij te staan ​​in onverwachte situaties en om te helpen door de richtlijnen van de beste managementpraktijken te volgen om de lozing van verontreinigingen in het milieu te voorkomen of te verminderen. Ben jij geïnteresseerd in een jachtexpeditie naar de uiteinden van de aarde? Hier zijn een paar van onze bestemmingen waar we dit soort avonturen kunnen aanbieden: De Andaman & Nicobar Eilanden, Antarctica, Noordpool, Socotra, Noordwest Passage, Papoea Nieuw Guinea, De Solomon Eilanden, De Vanuata Eilanden < Vorig Artikel Volgend Artikel > RNAVT 7818 Bedrijf geregistreerd in Portugal Privacybeleid Algemene Voorwaarden > Neem Contact Op info@voyagesjourneys.com +351 917 800 008

Tempus Unieke Avonturen Jacht Expedities Ontdek De Numinous Wie Zijn Wij EN PT NL Home - V&J in de Media - Tempus Magazine Tempus Magazine January-2023 The passion of travel curators Vanessa and Jasper from Voyages & Journeys surpasses the norm. - Gemma Harris - A journey into Portugal's Alentejo All in the details; a chic stay at the rural Malhadinha Nova with unique travel curators, Voyages & Journeys. The passion of travel curators Vanessa and Jasper from Voyages & Journeys surpasses the norm. Even before meeting them face to face, I could tell they were in it because they genuinely wanted to improve travel experiences. The faultless and compassionate service from the outset reflected their personalities. They accompanied me on my transfer to our destination. The two-hour travel time from Lisbon allowed us to chat about their aim with Voyages and Journeys. The different paths they are taking from others and the values they hold close to help them find their edge in unique and once-in-a-lifetime travel experiences for clients. And for this journey? They were taking me to experience one of their favourites and Portugal's best-kept secret, Alentejo. Driving through Alentejo at sunset made the evocative natural scenery even more so, with pink glistening in between the rolling vineyards and cork farms which seemed to stretch for miles. Sporadically we would encounter a small village where things moved leisurely, and they undoubtedly embraced the slower pace of life. The kind of villages where locals always leave their doors open and unlocked explained Vanessa. A warm welcome Arriving at Herdade da Malhadinha Nova in the evening created even more intrigue that this wild region exuded. The bumpy transfer in one of the estate's characterful jeep defenders did not disappoint. On route through the estate, Jasper explained that it spread over 450 hectares with various houses complete with rooms and suites. Over time the ruins throughout this area have been transformed into luxury accommodations. I was welcomed into one of the estate's 30 rooms within the 'Home of the terracotta.' Artisanal design Waking up to the far-reaching view surrounded by vineyards held promise for the next two days spent on the estate. Finishing up a cappuccino in none other than Vista Alegre crockery and the in-house chef's speciality eggs on the terrace overlooking the pool, I was ready. The tour around the estate highlighted how Malhadinha uses architecture that perfectly complements the area's rurality with modernity. Each house has its own take on the Alentejo culture, filled with various pieces from local artisans. I even had the opportunity to try my hand at a craft while here, taking a bulrush workshop with a local artisan - safe to say my creations won't make it into a room, however insightful and fun all the same. Each interior has its personalised touches, from the handcrafted marble details, and locally crafted furniture to the creative lights made from recycled plastic. Family details Owned by the Soares family, Rita Soares, the CEO, was there pointing out her favourite spots, with even a glimpse into the new under-construction spa area, building yet more for the future on what is already an estate based upon strong family foundations. It is truly all in the details throughout, and you can see this family passion project is authentic, with Rita perfecting every design touch herself, even down to each room's scent. Like all good stories, the Soares family story began with wine, with their project starting with the plantation of the first 20 hectares of vineyards. The tour around Malhadina's wine-making facilities and cellars showed every bottle label drawn by the family's children; the cow by Matilde was my favourite! This charm continued throughout and into the wine-tasting experience. Tasting their complex yet elegant - which today are award-winning - wines confirmed that they had resulted in their dedication to their respectful and sustainable processes. Gastronomic secrets The wines were paired with one of the many farm to table experiences I had here. From the olive groves, orchards, and farms to the vegetable gardens, Malhadinha is rich in quality, organic produce grown using regenerative farming methods. The food truly put the cherry on top, especially the Alentejo black pork on decadent risotto. Or maybe it was the incredible apple tart that almost looked too good to eat. The chefs throughout the estate are true to traditions while putting their gastronomic twists and tweaks on each dish. One of the local Portuguese chefs has been in the family for the past 25 years, adding the best-loved family dishes to the estate's menu. If you fancy getting in the kitchen, you can take lessons at Malhadinha and learn from the best. Anything is possible As well as being introduced to various friendly and welcoming staff members and local artisans in my time here, I also got to meet the other equine family members. They weren't just any horses; these were pure-blood Lusitano horses you can ride throughout the vineyards. Aside from wine tasting and horseback riding, there is plenty to do here. On my stay, I met with Luisa, the guest experience manager and was reassured that pretty much everything and anything was possible at Malhadinha, purely restricted by the guest's imaginations and desires. Some popular experiences are hot air balloon rides over the Alentejo plains, romantic picnics within the vineyards, quad biking around the estate or even your own beekeeper experience. More than luxury In Alentejo, nothing is rushed, slowly but surely providing for future generations. These sustainability-minded values continue to be a focus throughout Malhadinha, staying honest to the region. It is more than a luxury retreat. Malhadinha provides a carefully designed, unique and authentic space where traditions are kept alive and experiences are second to none while balancing the needs and respect for nature. Everything here, like in the hands of Voyages & Journeys, feels right and is a profound step for luxury travel. »»» Voor de originele publicatie klik hier ««« < Vorig Artikel Volgend Artikel > RNAVT 7818 Bedrijf geregistreerd in Portugal Privacybeleid Algemene Voorwaarden > Neem Contact Op info@voyagesjourneys.com +351 917 800 008

It’s an extension of nationalist feeling. Ethnic feeling, your personal history, your province, your region, your tribe, your grandma. It’s inseparable from those from the get-go. - Anthony Bourdain - One of the deepest passions that I have developed over the years is for wine and the culinary of the world – always looking for those hidden gems. We visited fantastic vineyards and sometimes tasted wines at the most magnificent locations; and visited restaurants that are now amongst the best in the world. During our travels we met craftsmen and women who run restaurants that have been passed down in the family for decades. One of my fondest memories was when I was recommended a dish, which I was really impressed with the idea of eating something like that the simplicity but at the same time the overwhelming flavours was an experience by itself. I was then explained by the owner that the recipe came from the year 1934, created by the very first chef of the restaurant, and it is still sharing a main stage in that kitchen today – those restaurant owners (family) are now good friends of ours and we visit them with other family members and friends regularly. The diversity of some regions make them unique and on the same immediate region of a family owned business, we could find restaurants that have been awarded several Michelin star and present works of art that are paired with the most beautiful and also the most surprising regional wines. There is a special joy in visiting vineyards run by the same family for over 500 years and experiencing tastes at the most memorable locations, accompanied by wine specialists, the enologists and vineyard owners. It is moments like this, over a delicious glass of wine and canapés, that you can create friendships and great memories. If you really want to discover a destination, you must first discover the kitchen. A destination's cuisine tells you so much about its history, culture and people – I am a big believer in sampling the local delicacies and dishes of every place I visit. In recent years, the wine and culinary world has grown significantly, making it incredibly difficult to find precisely these kinds of experiences. This is where V&J's knowledge and experience comes in handy. Whether you are dining in a restaurant overlooking the Aconcagua Mountains in Argentina or preparing a white truffle feast in the Monferrato province after a day of truffle hunting, it is the experience around that will make it an unforgettable memory. Over the years we have built great friendships with wine specialists and restaurant owners. These relationships allow us to provide you with unparalleled insider access. Our vineyard visits are tailored entirely to your palette, offering access to prestigious wineries and sometimes even a barrel tasting if the opportunity arises. Because I have the opportunity to combine this with my passion for discovery, I have the unique opportunity to share these culinary experiences with others. Together with we put together the most unique culinary journeys to experience both the refined cuisine of the region and the most rustic traditions.

For her article about the greatest shows on Earth, Jasper talked to Olivia about how we combine the rare natural phenomena with yacht expeditions. Article excerpt: The aurora australis is another reason why the southern skies spark interest. Just like the Northern Lights, this phenomenon occurs when electrically charged solar particles collide with oxygen and nitrogen atoms in the earth’s atmosphere. “The Southern Lights are not that well known,” says Jasper Sigon, co-founder of Voyages & Journeys. He notes that while the colours produced can be even more vibrant, they are “much more elusive than their northern hemisphere counterpart”. The best places to witness them, he says, are around Hobart and Bruny Island in Tasmania between May and August or during the September equinox (when the northern and southern hemispheres experience roughly the same amount of daytime) – and even as far as the Antarctic continent at 70 degrees south where there is significantly less land mass. “This is why we love to carry out this experience by yacht,” explains Sigon, adding that his choice of charter yacht for clients is 39-metre The Beast, which he describes as “the ultimate yacht to chase the lights.” Voyages & Journeys is planning a trip around the upcoming total lunar eclipse (or blood moon) on 14 March 2025, suggesting the 77-metre explorer yacht La Datcha as the perfect vessel to travel to the eclipse’s prime viewing point: the Gulf of Alaska. < Previous Article Next Article > RNAVT 7818 Empresa registada em Portugal Política de Privacidade Termos e Condições > Contacte-nos info@voyagesjourneys.com +351 917 800 008

Home - Unique Adventures - Solomon Solomon Islands Every accomplishment starts with the decision to try. - John F. Kennedy - The South Pacific is a paradise of its own, the lagoons and shorelines of the Solomons' western parts are among the most beautiful in the Pacific. The Solomons consist of almost a thousand islands spread across around 30 000 square kilometres of ocean. They were named after King Solomon by a 16th-century Spanish adventurer who came chasing legends of gold. The smaller islands of the archipelago are atolls elevated of the coral reefs, surrounded by absurd beautiful turquoise seas. The larger ones are mountainous, volcanic, such as the highest mountain is on Guadalcanal, a peak of 2 331 meters, their summits haloed in clouds. Their interiors brim with tropical vegetation. Their shores are palm groves and mangroves and empty white beaches broken here and there by simple villages of leaf houses. The archipelago is known to be one of the top dive destinations in the world. Descent down to the glorious reefs where legions of spectacular fish and manta rays appear out of the blue. Dive to the Twin tunnels, two tunnels formed by lava that drop vertically from 12 metres to 35 metres ending in an underwater cave. While you descend you will be surrounded by an abundance of ocean life and coral. The level of biodiversity and endemicity in the Solomon Islands is recognised as globally outstanding. The archipelago forms part of a region considered to be one of the most geographically complexes in the world and is located in a very active tectonic area. The Solomon Islands are rich in culture and known for their calm way of life. The perfect way to explore this archipelago is by yacht with V&J Yacht Quest that allows you to combine time ashore the remarkable islands and visits the inhabited atolls that are surrounded by exceptional diving locations. Best Time to Go: May to September & November to January Let's start your Adventure

Aventuras Únicas Expedições de Iate Explore Comunicações Sobre Nós EN PT NL Início - Comunicações - Coral Gardeners Coral Gardeners October-2020 Regenerate the coral reef systems with Coral Gardeners We wanted to share with you a little bit about Coral Gardeners. Titouan Bernicot , founder & CEO, grew up on Ahe, a small atoll in the North of the Tuamotu islands, where his parents had a pearl farm. When he was 3 years old, he moved with his family to Moorea, the sister Island of Tahiti (French Polynesiain) in the Pacific Ocean. Since he can remember he spend most of his time in the water, freediving and surfing, developing a deep connection with the ocean. France is the only country in the world with coral reefs in all three oceans. 8 French communities are home to 10% of coral reefs in the world (Coral Guardian). In French Polynesia, almost all the 118 islands have coral coastal marine ecosystems (with the exception of the Marquesas Islands). These islands are not located in the famous coral triangle, but they gather nearly 200 species of corals, 1200 species of fishes and 1000 species of crustaceans. Coral reefs are, along with tropical forests, the richest and most productive ecosystems on the planet. Due to climate change the ocean water temperatures are rising and consequently (between many other negative factors) the coral reefs are bleaching. The origins The project was born on April-28, 2017, in Moorea. The team is composed by young surfers and fishermen nicknamed the children of the Ocean. By seeing the degradation of reefs in recent years, they have decided to take action . Young and motivated, launched a crowdfunding campaign in 2017, supported by former swimming world champion Florent Manaudou. Once achieved the objective, had press coverage in many media outlets, such as Le Parisien, Elle magazine, Le Figaro, Paris Match, amongst others. Thanks to these funds, they were able to embark on the adventure, and Coral Gardeners was officially created. Today, counts with more than 20 international volunteers, more than 7000 corals adopted and transplanted into the lagoon, and thousands of supporters, either local students, tourists or young people from all over the world. The team aims to take the project even further and launch a global movement of Coral Gardeners. The biggest daily challenges Coral is a unique and complex creature. From the family of jellyfish and anemones (cridarians). It resembles a tiny anemone called a polyp. Barely visible to the naked eye, a polyp builds a calcareous skeleton and lives in a colony. Each polyp in the colony contains millions of algae called zooxanthellae in its cells. These two organisms live in symbiosis. This means that while coral provides protection and nutrients to algae, they provide energy, food and oxygen to the coral. The association of all corals forms coral reefs. True underwater forests, they are home to 25% of the marine biodiversity known to date. We are increasingly facing coral bleaching events. When the seawater temperature rises, it can upset the symbiosis between the coral polyp and its algae. The algae becomes toxic for the polyp which therefore expels it. As it is the algae that gives the coral its colour, colonies lose their colours to adopt that of the limestone that makes up the exoskeleton of polyps: corals whiten. If the situation lasts for too many days, as it will be the case more and more often due to global warming, corals die. The importance of saving the coral reefs It is estimated that 75% of the world’s coral reef suffer threats from pollution, overfishing and human activities or global warming, and coral reefs coverage has already declined by 30-50% since 1980s. Without proper action, all coral reefs are at risk of disappearing by 2050 with disastrous consequences for marine life. Why are coral reefs so important for our environment? While covering less than 1% of the oceans, coral reefs host 25% of known marine life (source: IUCN); Marine plants, including coral’s symbiotic algae, produce up to 70% of the oxygen we breathe (source: National Geographic); Coral’s are estimated to directly support over 500 million people worldwide (source: IUCN); Coral absorb CO2, via their association with algae; With their beautiful submerged landscapes coral reefs generate US$36 billion in tourism every year (source: ZME Science); Coral reefs provide a protective barrier against storms and erosion (source: IPCC); Corals have medicinal properties for treatments against diseases such as cancer or AIDS. IUCN – International Union for Conservation of Nature IPCC – Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Coral Gardeners’ mission Coral Gardeners was created to save the coral reefs of Moorea, Polynesia and the world. They are raising awareness around the world of the disappearance of coral reefs, restoring damaged areas and working with scientists to improve their coral restoration techniques and by taking action to solve the problems that the reefs are facing. They create hope for coral reefs through education and coral reef restoration. Raising Awareness – They truly believe that raising awareness is key to build a better future for the oceans, by telling the story of the reef worldwide, through conferences, school lectures, ecotours or social medias, they hope that everyone gets to know the importance of coral reefs. Reef Resoration – First step is to collect broken pieces of corals and then put them on bamboo stems. They let them one month on the nursery tables before planting them back on the reef. That is the most efficient way to bring new life to the reef. Science – Their scientists are monitoring the growth of the corals and improving the reef restoration methods and knowledge. The team from Coral Gardeners is working to educate the world about threats to coral reefs and implementing ways to restore the island’s reef. The group transplants healthy coral fragments onto the reef to rebuild habitats and encourage growth in vulnerable areas. Through Coral Gardeners amazing program Adopt A Coral , you are able to help the conservation by adopting your own coral or a complete coral nursery table, you get to name your coral(s), receive updates and an adoption card, which you can proudly share. Is very simple to make the difference.

Unieke Avonturen Jacht Expedities Ontdek De Numinous Wie Zijn Wij EN PT NL Home - Unieke Avonturen - Andaman & Nicobar De Andaman & Nicobar Eilanden I did not write half of what I saw, for I knew I would not be believed. - Marco Polo - De Andaman & Nicobar eilanden liggen in het warme wateren van de Bengaalse Golf, bedekt met een dichte groene jungle. Deze verbazingwekkende archipel bestaat uit 572 eilanden en eilandjes, hoewel slechts 37 eilanden toegankelijk zijn voor bezoekers. Hier kun je echt van het toeristen pad afwijken en een unieke cultuur ervaren waarin zowel stammen als natuurbeschermingswaarden een controlerende invloed hebben. In de 13e eeuw zeilde Marco Polo dicht bij hun kusten, hij ging nooit aan land en zag geen inwoners, hij beweerde dat de Andamanezen ‘een zeer brutaal ras’ waren, dat ze kannibalen waren met hondenkoppen. In 2018 werd John Allen Chau, een Amerikaanse missionaris, gedood door de pijlen van de Sentinelezen, een stam die ervoor kiest om geïsoleerd te blijven. De eilanden bieden de perfecte ontsnapping voor degenen die in hart en nieren avonturiers zijn. Ontdek de natuurlijke wonderen door een bospad te volgen met een natuuronderzoeker die je kennis laat maken met de exotische flora en fauna die bloeit in het betoverde bos van Andaman. De eilanden zelf zijn vol vulkanische bergen, dichte oerwouden en krioelende mangrovemoerassen waar je allerlei soorten dieren kunt vinden. Ontdek een enorm scala aan inheemse vogels en tropische vlinders, evenals wilde olifanten die over de stranden zwerven en zich tussen enkele van de eilanden kunnen verplaatsen, met behulp van hun slurf als snorkels. En misschien zelfs een zoutwaterkrokodil. Duiken tussen deze spectaculaire koraalriffen zal een voortdurende reeks aan wonderen onthullen. Een groot aantal zeedieren vinden hier hun thuis, van de majestueuze roggen en haaien tot de intrigerende koraalvissen. Sluit je aan bij een team van natuurbeschermers en ervaar een onvergetelijk nachtelijk spektakel terwijl karetschildpad, groene schildpad en lederschildpad uit de zee klimmen om te nestelen. Laat u door onze V&J specialisten per kajak begeleiden naar een uniek aquatisch ecosysteem van verwarde wortels die half in het water zijn ondergedompeld. Het meest fascinerende aspect van nachtkajakken is het fenomeen bioluminescentie. Terwijl je je peddel in het water stort of er met je hand doorheen gaat, verlichten honderden kleine, gloeiende, sterachtige fytoplankton - waterorganismen die walvissen van voedsel voorzien - het kalme, donkere water. Met onze deskundige gidsen die je naar de smalle kanalen en verborgen hoekjes in de mangroven leiden, dit is echt een onvergetelijke ervaring.
