Maya Champaneri

Marine naturalist and expedition guide in training with a passion for responsible cetacean encounters, marine conservation, and guest interpretation. Experienced in remote marine environments through cetacean expeditions in French Polynesia and Northern Norway, supported by internationally recognised training in marine mammal mitigation, observation, surveying, and sea safety. Committed to creating engaging, educational wildlife experiences that inspire respect for the ocean and its inhabitants. I believe the best guiding combines scientific understanding with storytelling, helping guests connect more deeply with the marine environment while promoting responsible wildlife viewing and conservation.
