Book now

A glimpse of a few passages – the journey has plenty more in store.

The descent
01

The descent

A high-tech capsule takes you down to the edge of the zone where sunlight still reaches. There, Yellow is waiting for you: a curious little underwater drone who will be your guide for the whole journey.

Forests of the ocean
02

Forests of the ocean

Kelp forests where otters hunt, seagrass meadows swaying with the swell: these “blue carbon” ecosystems capture and store carbon. Then the sea comes alive: dolphins and tuna swirl around a shoal of fish, and you are right in the middle.

The invisible
03

The invisible

Yellow switches on his miniaturisation device: a complete change of scale, and you enter the world of plankton. Billions of organisms invisible to the naked eye, essential to the functioning of the planet.
