Humpback Whale Expedition Tubuai Island

Humpback Whales

Join our remote and explorer oriented expedition to Tubuai in French Polynesia to swim with humpback whales.
Each year populations of humpback whales travel north to the South Pacific and the warm waters of French Polynesia to raise their new born calves. Tubuai is often their first stop.

Join us for 6 days of swimming with these amazing giants of the sea. No SCUBA certification needed.
