Top Tahiti Whale Watching

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.

It's 7:30 in the morning, the lagoon still grey with sleep. You get on board and count: one, two... six. That's it. No group stepping on it, no waiting. Just you, and a Guide who knows these waters like a loved face. Under the hull, you dip a hydrophone — and silence becomes a song. Serious, ancient: a male, invisible, under your feet. Farther away, a mother, who came from Antarctica to give birth in these warm waters. She's not here for you, she's here for her little one. And perhaps that's what's most upsetting: to be a discreet witness to a moment we let you share. If conditions permit, you slide into the water. A few meters away, a huge shape moves, slow, unreal. Fifteen meters. Twenty tons. One eye looking at you, one second. You're not breathing. You'll never tell it quite right then. You'll have to say, "I was there." Six. No more. The season lasts a few months. The seats, a few minutes.
