Half day whale tour 4h00
Overview
Every year from July to November, the humpback whales come from
Antarctica to our warm waters. An essential migration in their life cycle (socialization, reproduction, birth and first months of the calves' lives).
Polynesia is one of the rare places in the world where it is possible to swim with these marine mammals.
Our wish is to make you live a unique and memorable experience. We will do our best to meet them. However, it is
important to remember that we cannot control Mother Nature, every day is different.
The launch is not guaranteed, our priority is the respect of humpback whales and the safety of our customers. All the elements must be present (cetacean behavior, weather conditions, etc.) for the guide to authorize it.
We are also equipped with a hydrophone which allows us to listen to the magnificent song of these giants of the sea from the boat.
