Overview

Our team of naturalist guides will share their passion and will be able to provide you with all the expected information about these cetaceans and their environment.
Compliance with approach rules and animal welfare is a priority for our team, which will ensure a respectful activity. Animal watching will be done initially from the boat. If their behavior and sea conditions allow, it will be possible to observe them in the water while snorkeling if you select this option. Experience in snorkeling is mandatory.
We are working with local cetacean conservation associations and marine biologists to ensure that our observations contribute to the development of scientific knowledge of the species.
Our spacious boat will guarantee you comfort throughout your ocean trip. The boat is also equipped with a hydrophone so you can listen to the melodious whale song.

    What To Expect

    Embark with our specialized naturalist guides to discover the humpback whales of Tahiti in a small group. After a complete briefing on the animals, you will go out to search for them in the ocean. Our experienced and qualified guides will provide you with an analysis of their behavior to guarantee you a successful and respectful approach. The observation of the animals will first take place from the boat. If their behavior and sea conditions allow, they will be observable in the water (only for the "put in water" option selected).
    During your ocean outing, it is possible to observe dolphins or other cetaceans, as well as sea turtles.

    Note: observation and water releases are neither guaranteed nor systematic. The naturalist guide on board is the only one authorized to make decisions based on sea conditions and whale behavior.
    The child rate is applicable for children under 10 years old and the observation will be only from the boat.
