EXPERIENCE AN ADVENTURE YOU’LL BE TALKING ABOUT FOR YEARS
Imagine standing in places most people don’t even know exist. Swimming alongside humpback whales. Driving your own tuk tuk through remote villages. Watching the northern lights from a kayak in the Arctic.
Every moment carefully planned so you feel supported, safe, and free to just take it all in.
No guesswork. No stress. Just stories you’ll be telling for the rest of your life. (The kind that make your friends and colleagues jelous)
Let’s design your one-of-a-kind adventure!
Great trips don’t come off a shelf, they’re built by someone who knows how.
I’ve spent over 20 years creating tailor-made adventures for people who feel most alive by the sea. My trips aren’t mass-made packages. They’re unique experiences you couldn’t just book online.
With connections to over 150 resorts and experience operators worldwide, I know the places, people, and timing that make a trip unforgettable. More importantly, I listen, so your trip isn’t just “another holiday,” but your story, your way.
Forget the stressful late-night Googling and second-guessing. I take care of the details so you can focus on the experience.

Want to add this once-in-a-lifetime whale swim to your story?
Let’s make it happen.
Insider Note from the Living Blue Team:
“My first whale swim changed everything for me. Floating in the water, hearing their song before I even saw them… it was goosebumps stuff. When the whales approached us - well I don’t really have words for that actually. I still go back to that memory whenever I think of my happy place.”
"Jess has gone above and beyond in every detail.”
“After booking the trip, due to unforeseen circumstances I had to make quite a few changes to the trip. Jess again went above and beyond plus some more. Jess is passionate about her work and was genuinely as excited for my trip as I was. Cannot recommend highly enough.”

Sri Lanka - Your Way
Tuk Tuk & Safari with Wild Elephants
A journey where the tuk tuk is the adventure. Winding coastlines, jungle wildlife, and local connections you’ll never forget.
Duration: 10 nights
Focus: Tuk tuk road trip, local culture, jeep safari with elephants
Ideal for: Travellers who want quirky, immersive fun with plenty of “wow” moments
Best Time to Go: December – April
The Experience:
Picture yourself bumping along Sri Lanka’s coastal roads in your own tuk tuk, stopping at hidden fruit stalls, meeting friendly locals, and being invited into a slower, richer way of life. This trip balances lighthearted tuk tuk adventures with awe-inspiring jeep safaris through national parks where elephants roam free. It’s not just transport - it’s about the unexpected joy that comes from getting lost (in the best way), then finding something unforgettable.
Why This Trip?
Experience Sri Lanka like a local - not a tourist.
Combine fun, freedom, and wildlife in one adventure.
Come home with stories you’ll be telling for years.
Ready to plan your own tuk tuk safari? Let’s design a Sri Lanka trip that’s totally yours.
Insider Note from the Living Blue Team:
“When I first scouted this trip, I thought the tuk tuk would simply be a way to get around. Turns out it’s the experience itself. I met people, ate foods, and saw sights I never would have discovered otherwise. Pairing that with the humbling encounter of elephants in the wild… it’s one of my top two adventures worldwide.”
Svalbard – Kayak the Arctic
Paddle Through Icebergs Under the Northern Lights
Duration: 10 nights
Focus: Kayaking among pack ice, polar bear spotting, photography expeditions
Ideal for: Adventure seekers and photographers craving rare landscapes
Best Time to Go: June – August
The Experience:
Suit up in layers, grab your paddle, and glide silently through floating icebergs. This small-group expedition combines kayaking with expert-led excursions, from chasing the glow of the northern lights to photographing polar bears in their natural habitat. It’s extreme nature at its finest: crisp Arctic air, glassy stillness, and landscapes so surreal you’ll be pinching yourself.
Why This Trip?
Explore one of the planet’s most untouched frontiers.
Combine adventure with expert-led wildlife and photography.
Go home with a story few people in the world can tell.
Dreaming of paddling between icebergs? Let’s design your ultimate Arctic reset.
Insider Note from the Living Blue Team:
“Svalbard is the ultimate Arctic escape. My tip? Pair the paddle-lite option with the photography package — it’s the perfect balance of action and creativity. For someone obsessed with underwater photography, this is the one land-based trip that rivals it. Truly once-in-a-lifetime.”
“Jess knows her stuff and made the whole trip run like clockwork”
“What a fantastic trip. Jess was a real pleasure to deal with. It was evident that she knows her product and is passionate about what she does. Great itinerary that ran smoothly. Couldn't recommend her highly enough.”
