Toondah Harbour is home to the critically endangered Eastern Curlew, and provides crucial habitat for marine turtles, dugong, dolphins and migratory shorebirds. This internationally significant Ramsar listed wetland needs to be protected from the destructive development proposed by Walker Corp.

"Knowing the natural world intimately not only enriches a child’s life but also cultivates a sense of responsibility to protect it. Let’s raise a generation that can name the trees in their local park, recognize the birds that visit their backyard, and understand the importance of coexisting with the natural world."

“Mad bamboo” (bambu gila) ceremony in Cendrawasih Bay. An old tradition that predates the arrival of the first westerners in Indonesia/Papua, it still lives on today.

Naturalist’s expeditions to the remotest corners of the Earth

Kalawai Adventure organizes ship-based "naturalist's expeditions", led by scientists, to some of the most remote and exciting corners of our planet. Emphasis during the trips is not only on seeing and experiencing, but also on understanding the complex natural interactions at play, and the challenges of preserving unique ecosystems.

Because of the positive impact conservation tourism can have in developing countries, part of our proceeds are used to directly support conservation projects we visit during each trip. This hands-on, personal approach builds a relationship between travelers and local conservation heroes that will last for years to come.

Led by Dr. Geoffrey Gearheart, our first expedition is to West Papua, Indonesia, the lesser-known half of the Island of New Guinea. We travel aboard a beautiful "Phinisi" schooner to explore the islands of Raja Ampat, land on the wild beaches of the Bird's Head Peninsula where giant leatherbacks nest, and swim with whale sharks in secluded Cendrawasih Bay...
