French Polynesia is one of the few places in the world where you can swim with humpback whales. From July to November, whales visit this islands to nurse their young or in search of a mating partner.
You have a high chance of in-water encounters. This will be determined by the guide, depending on the situation every day. To increase our chance of swimming with them, we will do 6 full days searching for humpback whales and other marine species.
The safety of our guests and the marine life is our No. 1 priority. Although our primary focus will be to find the humpback whales, there is also the chance to encounter different marine species.
To maximize photographic opportunities our guide will determine how many people will enter the water at the same time. Our small groups increases the chance of duration of this encounters.
