Here, we will settle into our home away from home as Martin shares captivating stories of his experiences capturing Patagonia’s wildlife.
This 10-day adventure aims to showcase the often-misunderstood majesty of the puma, set against the breathtaking landscapes of Patagonia’s iconic peaks and valleys. Using photography as a creative medium, participants will gain a deeper understanding of our relationship with these magnificent creatures. Throughout the trip, you’ll have the opportunity to delve into the fundamentals of wildlife and nature photography, as well as photo editing, through hands-on sessions with Martin Gregus. The expedition will also feature a variety of masterclasses and talks delivered by Martin and your Expedition Leader, offering insights into the art of capturing Patagonia’s untamed beauty.
This expedition promises a truly unique and once-in-a-lifetime adventure with a true master of his craft, blending the thrill of private puma trekking with the awe-inspiring scenery of Torres del Paine.
Born and raised in Bratislava, Slovakia, Martin Gregus is an internationally awarded wildlife photographer and cinematographer. Martin’s passion for travel and photography started when he was just 8 years old, having grown up in a household full of artists. He learned everything from his father—also a photographer—before venturing out to document the local wildlife for himself. Martin first traveled around the world through the hundreds of National Geographic magazines found in his home. Now after almost 19 years, he has journeyed to all 7 continents, visiting dozens of countries and some of the planet's most unique ecosystems. His images have received numerous awards, including 2 wins and 2nominations at the Wildlife Photographer of the Year competition in London, UK.
Currently based in Canada, Martin has worked extensively throughout the Americas, as well as the South Pacific. However, it was his thorough knowledge and experience of the Arctic and Antarctica that earned him world recognition. Among various projects, his work with polar bears—in particular, his expedition 33 Days Among the Bears—has become an international sensation following its coverage in National Geographic magazine in 2022.Since then, Martin has continued his exploration of the polar regions, working on several cinematic projects for Disney, BBC and Netflix

“Thanking the stars I found Airguides and Jono Allen's trip. We were totally taken care of! Paul answered all our questions and took care of the details so all we had to do was get there. Jono is an amazing, talented photographer who created a special group experience. The WHALES were mind blowing. What a gift to be in Tonga staring into the eye of a baby whale! This trip was a lifelong dream come true. I highly recommend it so much we’ve already signed up again for next year!"

"The Airguides trip to Tonga to swim with humpback whales was the experience of a lifetime. I have traveled all over the world, and nothing compares to being in the wild, rustic, deep blue waters of the South Pacific while interacting with whales and their calves. A wonderful and caring team made our adventures stress free. Absolutely amazing, so much so, that I am doing it again this year! Thanks a million Paul, Jono, Al, Alistair, Christian and Polly!"
"Thank you for your help in putting together our trip to the Northern Territory. Everyone agreed that it was the best family holiday we'd ever had and - even better - everyone nominated something different as 'the best thing'."
"The trip with Airguides was magic. Paul was our kind and patient guide, Mark Fitz was our talented and positive photographer/storyteller. It was a perfect mix of activity and relaxation and I’m already planning my next Airguides trip."
"I recently visited Lady Musgrave Island with Airguides. They have a unique and meaningful approach to travel and travelling with and learning from a world-class photographer, who was on the trip, was incredible."
"I cannot say enough amazing things about Airguides and the amazing honeymoon they planned for us. We began our trip planning by being overwhelmed with travel blogs, not knowing what was actually the best plan for us."
“Just had an amazing trip to Heron Island organised by the Airguides team. Perfect balance of activity and relaxation, they made it so easy. Can't wait until I can do another trip!“
“ We recently organised our trip to Heron Island with Bibi and Paul as a last minute getaway. Seamlessly dealt with and an added bonus of having a world-class photographer/ free-diver as our story teller. The trip has only whet our appetite for more positive and relaxing experiences with the Airguides team- Awesome “
