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 !

Private excursion to Tahaa Lagoon
Enchanting moment
Pleasant and enchanting experience. Despite the wind, the excursion was top-notch. Pierre was invested and showed us his passion for the sea. We saw an excursion on a human scale and not industrial. Thank you

Papeete: Premium Cruise on the Lagoon & Homemade Creations
Cruise experience
Very relaxed, comfortable cruise. Boat was super clean and up to date.Capt Theo and Diana made you feel welcome and comfortable from the start. Capt Theo very passionate about the area. Cruised the shoreline, stopped for a swim and snorkel. The little reef had lots of different types and size fish, very colorful. The snacks on board were outstanding, chef Diana prepares delicious pastries . The trip was more than a cruise it was an experience. Did two cruises with Capt Theo, sunset and daytime, would book again. Capt Thoe picked us up at the Hilton which was super convenient.
