Our crew will take care of your welcome and service on board. We provide safety gear and snorkeling gear. During the day trip, the team of professionals will provide you with fun explanations about the species observed and their way of life. If the conditions are right, going into the water gives you the opportunity to share a special moment with these majestic creatures. This is an activity where you can observe marine mammals in their natural environment. Sightings are not guaranteed, and going into the water is not mandatory and is not systematic.
An observation period and rules for approaching are defined by the regulations in French Polynesia.
Every year, humpback whales migrate from Antarctica to the warm waters of the South Pacific to breed, calve, and raise their young.
From October, the cetaceans regroup before beginning their long migration back to Antarctica at the end of November. Taking part in a whale watching excursion is an extraordinary and magical experience. Tours are accompanied by a professional crew, live guide, and captain to ensure a safe and enriching experience. The average duration of a tour is 3 to 4 hours, a perfect amount of time to discover, share, and observe these magnificent marine mammals.
PLEASE NOTE: The observation period is authorized from July 20/August to November 20, subject to DIREN approval.
The maximum number of people allowed in the water is 6 swimmers + 1 live guide.
Children under 12 and non-swimming adults/observers are not allowed to enter the water with the whales.
