Highlights
What sets this tour apart is the exclusivity of a private charter, just your group, your own captain and guide, and the flexibility to move at your own pace. Priced per boat rather than per person, it's an excellent choice for couples or families looking for a private whale watching experience. Paired with experienced, passionate guides who prioritize your safety and a respectful approach to every humpback whale encounter, this is whale watching without sharing the boat with strangers.

Itinerary
This is your chance to hear whale songs, watch breaching humpbacks, and, if conditions permit, swim with the gentle giants that grow up to 16 meters, a once-in-a-lifetime encounter with one of the ocean's most magnificent animals, reserved exclusively for your private group Your day begins with hotel pickup at your chosen time. Our team will collect you directly from your accommodation, ready to depart for the open ocean with a chance to see dolphins on the way out.
After pickup from your accommodation, you'll board a 26-foot speedboat for a 3.5-hour private tour with your own captain and professional whale-watch guide, with no other travelers on board. You may see mothers with calves, tail slaps, deep dives, or whales resting just beneath the surface, and with a private tour, your guide can adapt the pace and focus entirely around your group's interests. If conditions are safe and the whales' behavior allows, you'll enter the water with your guide for a respectful snorkeling encounter. Swimming with whales is never guaranteed, but whether you watch from the boat, listen to their songs, or snorkel nearby, this private Bora Bora whale tour offers one of the island's most unforgettable wildlife experiences, entirely on your own terms.
