Overview

What sets this tour apart is the exclusivity of a private charter, just your group, your own captain and guide, and the flexibility to move at your own pace. Priced per boat rather than per person, it's an excellent choice for couples or families looking for a private whale watching experience. Paired with experienced, passionate guides who prioritize your safety and a respectful approach to every humpback whale encounter, this is whale watching without sharing the boat with strangers.

    Bora Bora

    After pickup from your accommodation, you'll board a 26-foot speedboat for a 3.5-hour private tour with your own captain and professional whale-watch guide, with no other travelers on board. You may see mothers with calves, tail slaps, deep dives, or whales resting just beneath the surface, and with a private tour, your guide can adapt the pace and focus entirely around your group's interests.If conditions are safe and the whales' behavior allows, you'll enter the water with your guide for a respectful snorkeling encounter. Swimming with whales is never guaranteed, but whether you watch from the boat, listen to their songs, or snorkel nearby, this private Bora Bora whale tour offers one of the island's most unforgettable wildlife experiences, entirely on your own terms.

    Frequently Asked Questions (9)

    Q: Will I get seasick on Private Whale Watching Tour in Bora Bora?

    A: If you have any doubts about becoming seasick on the water, we recommend taking a Dramamine® Motion Sickness Relief tablet the night before your trip. Some people recommend taking it the night before your cruise and then again that morning so you will not feel so drowsy. Read more Feb 2023
