What you can expect

Company approved by DIREN since 2021.
WE ALSO OFFER SHARED BOATS FOR UP TO 6 SWIMMERS AND UP TO 12 SWIMMERS ON REQUEST.

In the morning or afternoon, we offer a daily “wildlife safari” with respect and care. Seabirds, dolphins, and humpback whales will hold no secrets for you. Our team of enthusiasts will share their knowledge of their biology, ecology, and behaviour. Each outing is unique and holds its share of surprises: a group of spinner dolphins surfing in the tidal bore of the channel, pilot whales, a resting whale calf with its mother, a singing male, brown boobies, frigatebirds, and often sea turtles… anything is possible.

We generally sail between Paea and Papara (on the west coast of Tahiti), an area still untouched by tourism, where it is rare to encounter other boats, allowing us to make patient and gentle approaches.

We will offer the opportunity to enter the water under certain conditions and at the discretion of the live guide (you can also decide to stay on board). Swimming is supervised by an experienced guide. Equipment is provided, but you can bring your own.

Passive observation is preferred: a “step-by-step” approach to let the animal choose to come and meet us… or not! Encounters ARE NOT GUARANTEED, as these are wild, moving, and unpredictable animals, but our live guides and pilots are experienced and will do their best to find them and offer the chance to enter the water, respecting the animals and the rules in force.

Duration: 3 hours 30 minutes to 4 hours
Maximum number of passengers: 12
Maximum number of swimmers: 6 (simultaneously in the water)
Departure time: 7:15 AM or 12:45 PM (please arrive at least 10 minutes before)
Usual departure: Paea Fishing Harbour
