Category: Pacific Passage Crossing

Pacific Passage Crossing takes you across the world’s largest ocean, scattered with palm-lined islands and coral beaches surrounded by warm, clear water. We experienced the hospitality of subsistence farmers in remote island communities — sometimes in countries I had never heard of — nestled in lush volcanic landscapes, and we swam with penguins, sharks, seals, dolphins, and fish as large as people.
