99. Half day whale tour 4h00
4.6· 182 reviews· 4 hoursEvery 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.

We will continue with a first snorkeling stop at the site of the Aquarium, an enchanted underwater world where plane and boat wrecks lie in silence, surrounded by clouds of tropical fish. A desk and a large coral heart add a magical touch to this magical decor. Then head to the ocean to explore a spectacular site, where underwater freshwater springs spring and a multicolored coral garden flourishes. You will have the chance to swim alongside sea turtles, getting close to them in their natural habitat. However, this meeting remains subject to the presence of animals and cannot be guaranteed at every exit. Enjoy a platter of local fruit and cold drinks at our last stop, for a gourmet break in the heart of the lagoon.
