Itinerary
Check-out from Papeete Marina at 7am or 1pm depending on your tour schedule.
The day will begin with dolphin watching, before venturing offshore to meet the majestic humpback whales. On board, our passionate Naturalist Guide will share his knowledge of local wildlife for a rewarding and fascinating experience. We prefer a gentle and respectful approach: away from crowds, we take the time to allow unique encounters with cetaceans, without ever disturbing them. If conditions permit, you will even have the chance to go into the water to observe them in their natural environment. However, this meeting remains subject to the presence of animals and cannot be guaranteed at every exit.
After searching and observing the whales, we will begin our return navigation to the boarding dock.
