  • EDA ARGUN

    “Our trip to Watamu this summer was one of the best experiences of our life as a family! Everything we did from swimming with hawksbill turtles to supporting the work of local conservationists to snorkeling around the stunning coral reefs fed our hearts, minds and souls. The second we got on the plane, we started planning for our return! It was amazing to have Julie’s expertise and Kristy’s incredible planning skills, without which this trip would not have been the same. We got to meet and connect with the local community, have the insider’s scoop on everything that was going on around the beaches and understand better what conservation is all about. We all came back changed people - me, my husband and our two daughters, 7 and 12!”

  • CARLOTTA DEL LAGO

    “I and my boys, Sebastian and Benjamin, had the best safari with Julie and Cat on the Ocean Discovery Safari in the Lamu Kiwayu area, Kenya. It was an extraordinary and wonderful experience. We fell in love with the sea. We loved learning about mangroves, seagrass beds, coral reefs, rocky shores, beaches and open oceans. We snorkeled, fished, swam, surfed, sand surfed, kayaked and my boys learnt to waterski and wakeboard. We absolutely loved our night swim with the phosphoresce. A glorious experience and we are planning our next safari with Julie and Seas4life.”

  • ELLIE LEWIS

    “Diving with the dolphins in Kisite was probably one of the best days of my life. Having them stay with us for the entire dive was the most magical experience. Diving everyday just made me feel so alive!!! I genuinely had the best 2 weeks ever- so special to share it with Dad and also to meet Julie and Claire and Kristy who are all so lovely. I am sad and cold in England and cannot stop thinking about Kenya.”

  • SIMON

    “From the very first inquiry to the moment we sadly flew home, the whole Seas4life adventure in Kenya has been the most magical, memorable and rewarding experience imaginable. My daughter and I cannot thank Julie and her team enough for perfectly tailoring our requests and expectations. Thank you, we cannot wait to come back again!”

  • ISOBEL CROSSKEY

    It is hard to express in words how amazing my internship experience with Seas4life was. First I spent a month in Tanzania, on Mafia Island, interning at an eco-tourism business Kitu Kiblu there I trained to be a whale shark guide. swimming with whale sharks every day! as well a daily lesson in whale shark biology, fish biology and free diving, we also worked on whale shark ID using their unique spot pattern. All amazing knowledge and key skills for the marine conservation world. The experience was one of the best experiences of my life and Julie and the seas4life team where there to support me the whole way.
