My trip with Picture Adventure was the biggest and most exciting adventure of my life. I went to Sri Lanka to fulfill my dream of swimming with blue whales, and thanks to their excellent work, I fulfilled my dream! It is impossible to describe the emotion of meeting these giants so closely, you have to see it to believe it!

What can I say about my trip with Picture Adventure? To say it was the the best trip of my life is an understatement. It was more than a vacation; it was an adventure and a lesson that I am still learning till this day. I have thankfully seen a lot of this world prior to my trip with Picture Adventure but I have never seen anything as beautiful or as grand as the blue whales I saw with them. You are with the largest creature ever known to earth. What I got from my time with Picture Adventure is too much to write in this testimonial but I will do my best: You are going to meet amazing people; you are gonna open this side of adventure in you that you never know existed; you are going to realize just how amazing, incredible and just how magnificent our world really is in a way that you never realized. I am forever grateful for my time with Picture Adventure and I hope I can go on another adventure with them soon.

Expeditions: Sri Lanka 2018 (Blue Whales)
Picture Adventure offers you the ability to see life from a whole new perspective. I have traveled to Sri Lanka many times in the past, but going with Joshua and his crew takes the experience to a whole other level. From diving with whales to swimming with dolphins and mantas out in the deep blue of the ocean, while having the comfort of the most experienced professionals around you is an unmatched experience. You come away from these trips with so much more than just having had an amazing holiday, but with stories you can share with your friends and family for a lifetime.

Expeditions: Sri Lanka 2019 (Blue Whales)
I have been with Pat on many expeditions over the years and I continue to return because he offers a service that cannot be found elsewhere in the market. I have assisted endangered sea turtles in making their way to the ocean, been approached by a baby gorilla in the Congo and swam with whale sharks in crystal clear water. I have never felt unsafe and his commitment to research, sometimes over the course of many years, has meant that we were in the perfect locations at the best time of year.

Pat’s commitment to meticulous research is what sets him apart. I was amazed in Sri Lanka when we spoke to a professional film crew, with a massive budget, and their success rate of encounters on the water was significantly less than ours. After a few days of comparing photographs, they were trying to get Pat to coordinate their next film shoot! We had the right equipment, the best captain and the most refined technique, which combined to result in the spectacular images and videos you see on his website.

Any adventure with Pat is sure to be full of fun and laughter. His great personality and sense of humor really set him apart. In addition to his gift for photography and for connecting with people from all over the world, he makes every expedition a pleasure.
