Moments like this is why I love working out on the ocean everyday! I have dreamed of getting a photo of a whale breaching for over 2 years now and I finally got my moment today. Unbelievable taken in Oahu, Hawaii by @culliem

Dead of winter

Beneath the surface, a rare encounter unfolds as a bottlenose dolphin and a tiger shark come face to face — a powerful reminder of how wild the ocean truly is. taken in Hawaii by @culliem

Another clip from yesterday’s whale watch 🐋 Two humpbacks came right up to the boat and stayed with us completely on their own terms. Seeing our guests experience whales this close for the first time never gets old — you can feel the shock, the silence, and the pure awe in the moment.

This is why we go out every day. No drones, no crazy zoom — just being in the right place at the right time. Would you want to be this close? 🌊 #whalewatching #humpbackwhale #bucketlist #hawaii #marinelife taken in Oahu, Hawaii by @culliem

Moments like this are why we go out every single day.

Yesterday on one of our whale watches, two humpback whales chose us.

In whale behavior, it’s called a “mugging” — when the whale approaches the boat on their own terms. And these two stayed with us for 30 minutes.

No chasing.
No baiting.
Just curiosity and connection.

Watching our crew and guests fall completely silent as these giants moved beneath us… unreal.

These encounters are rare. Pure. Once-in-a-lifetime.

So grateful for our Ocean Outfitters ʻohana and Captain @finnchyy for moments like this.

Filmed entirely from the boat… on an iPhone. 🤯

Would you stay calm if a 40-ton whale came right up to you?

Morocco 🇲🇦

From sand dunes and sandboarding to hiking 14 miles through the Atlas Mountains, Morocco really does have it all. This solo trip has been filled with so many firsts. HIKING THROUGH SNOW being one of my top highlights. But watching the sunset over the Erg Chebbi dunes in the Sahara Desert is something I’ll remember forever. Till next time Morocco! taken in Morocco by @culliem

2025

This year was filled with more animals than I could count from all over the world, and I don’t think I’ve ever been more grateful. 2025 taught me just how deeply I love animals. Looking back, I’ve made some of my best memories swimming underwater with these incredible creatures in places all over the world. I’m going to miss 2025, but I’m so excited for this new year and everything it has to hold. by @culliem

Moments from my time diving in Florida.

Somehow, I was able to capture this exact moment a tiger shark lost a tooth. Something that’s incredibly rare to witness, let alone photograph. As the tooth fell, I managed to catch it mid-fall.

After four years of working with tiger sharks, this is my very first tooth. A small reminder of how the ocean always has a way of surprising you, and how much it gives when you’re patient enough to be present. taken in Jupiter, Florida by @culliem
