Swim with humpbacks in french polynesia.
Swim and free dive with humpback whales on their annual migration to the South Pacific, live with a Polynesian family and participate in cultural activities from farming and fishing to cooking and beach parties with locals in the Austral Islands.
Every year from August to November, thousands of humpback whales migrate from their feeding grounds in Antarctica to the warm shallows of the South Pacific to give birth, raise their calves, and mate. Located in the Austral Archipelago in remote French Polynesia, the island of Rurutu is blessed with crystal clear waters and fringing reefs that transforms into a winter haven for several dozen humpback whales.
This program combines swimming with whales and immersion within Polynesian culture— our goal is to help you become one with the people, whales and ocean. The island of Rurutu is your home for the week, and the Tavita family becomes your family. You will live with them and learn about what makes this island special through the smiles, music, food and stories of her people.
