Who We Are

Our Journey: A Passion for Nature and Conservation

Nature and wildlife have been at the center of our lives long before we met. Our paths crossed on the beautiful island of Sri Lanka, where we volunteered to rehabilitate wild turtles. It was here that we bonded over our shared love for nature and our commitment to conservation.

Throughout our cross-continental relationship, we discovered a safari guiding college in South Africa. For six months, we lived in a stunning national park, surrounded by incredible wildlife. This experience was perfect for us, allowing us to immerse ourselves in nature while learning about the intricate relationships between the land, its people, plants, and animals. It also provided a platform to share our passion for conservation with others.

Eventually, life brought us back to the United States. Sinead continued her work in wildlife rehabilitation, while I focused on fieldwork with the Bureau of Land Management. Although we enjoyed our individual pursuits, we felt a growing desire to share our experiences with others and expand our conservation efforts.

This passion led us to offer nature and photography tours in one of Utah's wildest places—Antelope Island. Located just minutes from Salt Lake City, this stunning destination allows us to connect with nature while promoting the protection of these incredible wild spaces.

Join us as we explore and celebrate the beauty of the natural world together!
