Whales Snorkeling

Each July, Humpback Whales come from very far to find a companion and perpetuate the species in the warm, turquoise waters of the South Pacific.

A part of them will bring their whale calves into the world and will leave French Polynesia only in November, when these last ones will be capable of making the long return Southward.

You can come to observe these giants of the seas, in the biggest respect of the cetacean and accompanied by a patented guide.
