Explore Earth’s Most Remote Seas with Manō Collective
Small-group expeditions led by marine experts — where adventure meets discovery beneath the waves.
Why Travel With
Manō Collective
At Manō Collective, we believe the ocean reveals its secrets only to those who approach it with curiosity and care. Our expert-led expeditions take you deep into the planet’s most remote marine environments — from swimming alongside humpback whales in Tonga to diving vibrant coral gardens in Komodo National Park.
Each journey blends exploration, conservation, and connection — designed for those who seek meaning in every adventure. We’re more than guides — we’re ocean educators, filmmakers, and conservationists committed to transforming the way people experience the sea.
Expert-Led Adventures — Every expedition is guided by founders Olivia Miller, a marine biologist and shark scientist, and Andrew Aggergaard, a U.S. Coast Guard 100-Ton Masters Captain, both PADI-certified divers and professional underwater photographers.
Small-Group Connection — Curated groups capped at 4-10 guests (expedition dependent) for a personal, immersive experience.
Remote Marine Realms — Access pristine, little-traveled ecosystems far from the crowds.
Conservation at the Core— Every expedition supports local research through ethical, sustainable operators.

Epic Encounters!
"How do I say thank you to Olivia and Andrew for such a beautiful gift? Not only did you two make this magic happen but you captured it on film and then gave me this beautiful picture. I still can’t wipe the smile off my face from swimming with these amazing creatures and this baby was certainly the highlight! I encourage everyone to reach for their dreams and have epic encounters! Reach out to @livfortheocean and she will help you plan your trip!"

Went the extra mile
"Liv and Andrew worked so hard to fulfill everyone’s goals for the expedition and they truly went the extra mile for guest comfort and safety. During one of our transition days, Liv even worked to find us a day hike/waterfall swim that ended up being a highlight of our trip to Indonesia!“

Most Unforgettable adventures
“Tonga and Komodo National Park have been two of the most unforgettable adventures of my life. Every detail was thoughtfully planned, and I felt safe, supported, and completely looked after. This made it easy to soak it all in. From watching a massive mama whale and her baby glide through the water in Tonga to swimming through pristine coral gardens in Komodo, these are moments I'll carry with me forever. Thank you!”

Professional and Safe
“I’ve done both Tonga and Indonesia with Olivia and Andrew. The trips were fantastic, beautiful scenery and wildlife. The guides and crews of our boats have been very professional and enjoyable to be around. I never felt uncomfortable in the water or on the boat. Will travel with them again next year.“

Well Planned Experiences
I’ve traveled with Olivia and Andrew on three fabulous trips, Tonga, Fiji and Indonesia. They are thorough and thoughtful on choosing guides and accommodations. There is just the right amount of comfort and unique experience. They do extensive research and usually have scoped out a guide and boat or accommodation themselves prior to booking. I love traveling with them and look forward to the next adventure they put together.
