Zen Den Friday

Hop in the ‘copter for an aerial view of Hawaii in this Zen Den. From big wave riders to waterfalls to humpback whales (above), get a peaceful tour of the islands here. 

World Oceans Day

It covers more than 2/3 of our planet and connects us all from the air we breath to the water we drink. Celebrate the world’s oceans today!

Check out our Hawaii Live Cams placed along reknowned surf breaks on Pipeline, Waimea and Turtle Bay. Watch the sunset at the Santa Monica Pier. Dive in with the belugas, penguins and tropical fish on the live cams, or check out our sea birds along the Northeast coast with Puffins and Ospreys. 

The ocean is place of zen, beauty and spirituality. What is your connection to the sea? Email us: Share@explore.org.

Zen Den Friday

Catch some zen and inner peace on the sunset and ocean live cams. The waves right now are gently flopping on the Santa Monica shore, and on Waimea Bay and Pipeline it’s an early morning calm at sunrise now. 

I need the sea because it teaches me, 
I don’t know if I learn music or awareness, 
if it’s a single wave or its vast existence, 
or only its harsh voice or its shining 
suggestion of fishes and ships. 
The fact is that until I fall asleep, 
in some magnetic way I move in 
the university of the waves. - Pablo Neruda, The Sea
