Tahiti whale watching swims with whales
No Whales, but a Wonderful and Friendly Crew
Unfortunately, I wasn't able to see any whales during this tour. However, the guide and captain were very friendly and kind, and I really appreciated their hospitality. Although I was disappointed that I couldn't see the whales, I still want to thank the crew for their kindness and efforts. Thank you for the experience!

Swim with Humpback Whales in Tahiti Seasonal
Great afternoon with the whales !
We had a great afternoon searching for and eventually swimming with whales ! The crew was amazing ; very knowledgeable about the local conditions , very friendly and they did a great job of setting expectations. We searched in a couple of different spots , and after a few misses , finally caught up with a whale and its calf. Really appreciate the crews patience and persistence !

Small Group Snorkeling Tour in Tahiti
Definitely book this tour - best trip!
We had the best time on our snorkelling tour with Romuald and Jan! We saw so many turtles, reef sharks, dolphins and eagle rays! Also shout out to the best home made Madeline cakes you could have! Couldn’t recommend this tour highly enough! If you’re looking for a great tour to see marine life in Tahiti this is the one! Thank you so much! Lleucu & Bebe
