the most sharks we have ever seen

We’ve never experienced anything quite like this! In this episode, we sail to Fakarava in the Tuamotu archipelago—world-famous for its incredible marine life and the legendary “Wall of Sharks.” Join us as we free dive through the crystal-clear waters of the South Pass surrounded by hundreds of sharks, scout for surf along remote coral reefs, explore the atoll by bike, and test out our off-grid solar setup in French Polynesia.
