Whale Watching from Puna'auia in Tahiti

Tahiti, the largest island in French Polynesia, is located in the heart of the South Pacific Ocean in the Society archipelago. Every year, from the beginning of August to mid-November, Tahiti becomes the migration point for humpback whales, which migrate from Antartica to the warm waters of the Pacific to breed and give birth. At this time of year, a boat cruise from Puna'auia takes on a whole new dimension and becomes an opportunity to meet the humpback whales of Tahiti!

Join us on this cruise aboard the legendary "Discovery", a ship that has covered numerous films and reports for the BBC, Disney Channel and National Geographic, and set off on an adventure of a lifetime: a whale-watching cruise with the option of swimming near the whales (conditions permitting). Accompanied by a pilot authorised by the DIREN (Direction de l'Environnement) to approach marine mammals, you'll be able to observe these cetaceans with respect and learn lots of anecdotes about them. On board the ship, everything is provided for you to enjoy the activity to the full: observation deck and bridge, hydrophone for listening to the whales' songs, shade, refreshments and snacks.

For those who wish, this whale-watching cruise from Puna'auia offers a unique opportunity to swim close to these cetaceans. The snorkelling session will take place in a small group with a professional guide qualified to approach marine mammals. If your guide thinks it's possible, you can get in the water and experience unforgettable moments in the heart of the Pacific, swimming close to these large marine mammals. Of course, you'll be provided with all the necessary equipment: a neoprene wetsuit, fins, mask and snorkel.
