Please note that whale sightings or swimming is never guaranteed. Our team will always give its absolute best to have great whale encounters, but whales will always have the last say. If we don't get to swim with whales the tour will not be refunded.
If guests want to swim with whales, they must be good swimmers and have great snorkeling experience (especially in the open ocean) before going on a whale swimming tour.
Our team will give a very clear briefing at the beginning of the tour with very specific instructions for everyone's safety and to have a successful and respectful experience with the whales.
Swimming to the whales can be easy as it can be very difficult based on ocean conditions and whales behavior. We enter the water 100 meters away from the whales per government regulations. It is the minimum distance to swim if the whales don't move and increase the swimming distance.
If participants can't follow the crew's instructions or are unable to swim to the whales with the rest of the group they will be returned to the boat.
Our whale watching tours take place in the open ocean. Conditions can change at any time. If you are subject to sea sickness, prepare accordingly before going on tour.

French Polynesia is known to be the best place in the world for in-water experience with humpback whales and other marine wildlife species. The whale season dates can vary but we can typically observe humpback whales from mid-July to mid-November. French Polynesia is one of the rare places on earth where we are allowed to swim with these beautiful giants. Learn about the whales migration and watch them evolve in their natural habitat with our experienced tour guides.
On top of whale watching, our tours offer the opportunity to observe spinner dolphins, pilot whales, pelagic sharks in the ocean, and in the lagoon we can observe sea turtles, different tropical fish species and snorkel with stingrays and blacktip sharks.
