Highlights
"This is more than just a tour — it’s a bucket list experience in Tahiti." Discover one of the most unforgettable marine experiences in French Polynesia with this 5-hour whale watching tour in Tahiti. From July to November, this excursion gives guests the opportunity to search for and observe humpback whales in their natural habitat with certified local professionals. Depending on sea conditions and whale activity, the experience may also include an in-water observation under accredited supervision. The 5-hour duration is designed to provide guests with the best possible whale watching experience, allowing enough time for navigation, whale search, respectful observation, and enjoyment of the excursion without feeling rushed. Our boat can accommodate up to 12 guests, yet we have chosen to limit each whale watching tour to only 6, ensuring a more intimate, refined, and exclusive experience.
