From manta ray magic to meaningful change
Join the Ocean Wings podcast for powerful conversations about the conservation of our planet, civic courage that leads to positive action, and those moments in nature that change everything.
Hosted by Martina Wing, a marine life expert with decades of experience guiding manta swims off Hawaii’s coast, each episode is swimming with purpose.
Together with our guests, we explore how magical underwater encounters can heal trauma, ignite action, and reconnect us with our true purpose in life.
In this uncertain decade of decisions, and this critical hour for the environment, we uncover how each individual can truly make a difference for our planet, for society, and ourselves – both above and below the surface.
Listen to new episodes weekly on your favorite podcast platform and on YouTube.
I’m Martina Wing, host of
the Ocean Wings podcast.
I've been working with manta rays in Hawaii for almost three decades, and these incredible creatures have changed my life in ways I never imagined.
What started as a healing encounter with the gentle giants of the ocean has become my life's work: my company hosts daily moonlight snorkeling tours, where individuals from all over the world come to experience the magic of manta rays.
Every night after our swims, I have the most amazing conversations with people from all walks of life. I meet scientists and activists, teachers and advocates, everyday people who are already making a difference in their communities, as well as others whose lives were transformed after their manta ray experience. These conversations inspire me and give me hope in difficult times.
Through the Ocean Wings podcast, I want to share these amazing stories with the world and show others what's possible at any scale when you find your purpose.
This is the decade of decisions - for our oceans, for our democracy, for the world we're building together. I hope these stories inspire listeners to get involved in their local community, in political or environmental causes, and in making our world a better place.
Together, let’s turn moments of wonder into lasting impact.
