Humpback Whale Expeditions

Humpback Whales

Join the ultimate wildlife adventure in French Polynesia to swim with humpback whales, and hopefully some baby ones too!
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.

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