Our oceans are in crisis. In 2024, a mass stranding of approximately 80 long-finned pilot whales occurred on the Isle of Sanday in Orkney, UK. Scientists are investigating whether naval activity or offshore wind farm surveys are responsible for this tragic event.

In the Faroe Islands, the annual pilot whale hunt, known as the "Grind," continues unabated. In May 2024, 40 pilot whales were killed in the town of Klaksvik.

The planet desperately needs companies that care. At Nau Travel, we believe the travel industry can be part of the solution. Tourism has the power to drive conservation and educate travelers about the importance of protecting our planet. That’s why we’ve built a platform for oceanic adventures that prioritizes sustainability, transparency, and giving back.


Our goal? By 2035, we aim to donate 40% of every expedition’s revenue to NGOs and conservation organizations focused on preserving our waters. We want to prove that travel can leave a positive impact on the planet.
