About this trip
If you've ever wanted to say, I was there before it was cool, this is the place to go.
Tubuai Island is on the southern island chain of French Polynesia, and is as remote as you can get without being on a boat in the middle of the ocean.
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 six days of swimming with these amazing giants of the sea. No SCUBA certification needed.
