  This tour operates with an open air boat with no protection from the elements. It was rainy on the day i went and we nearly froze to death before getting back. But we did see and get to swim with whales! Captain and guide were both great.

  Amazing experience seeing mother and calf whales interact in the water. Company emphasized safety and respect towards the whales. Definitely a lifetime bucket list activity.

  We were lucky to see several whales on our tour, amazing experience. What brings down my rating from 5 star to 4 is the way another couple was treated when they asked to take a moment to catch up while we were swimming towards the whales. I understand the requirement of being good swimmers and we all were, but it can still be challenging to adjust the goggles from fogging up and empty snorkel gear while swimming in deep water w high waves and keeping up with a pretty high tempo to catch the whales. I thought the tone from the guide towards this couple was unneccesary plus she ended the excursion and went back to the boat as a result of this. My hubby and I were lucky to have seen whales on the earlier swim just before but the other couple had not and they had traveled here specifically for this whale experience. Other than that, fantastic day. I can highly recommend booking a lunch after, we had a fantastic lunch in the water at a nearby Motu where sharks and sting rays swam at our feet. Johanna and Teeva were amazing.

  To swim with the whales, you can only have a maximum of six people in the water at a time with a guide. There were 10 of us on our tour, so we would have had to split into two groups, alternating (luckily, some people didn't want to go in the water). This doesn't seem fair for the price we paid (€220 per person - other friends paid €140 on other tours; unfortunately, there were no more available). Other boats only had six people on board. Furthermore, our boat didn't get very close to the whales, while other boats got closer (while still respecting the limits). We only went in the water for a few minutes the first two times, and then a third time for about 30 minutes, only managing to see one whale for a few seconds and not up close. This depends partly on luck (they are always free-roaming animals) but also on the guide's ability to predict the movements. Throughout the tour, the guide almost always spoke French and rarely repeated English, making it difficult for us to follow. On board we were offered water, juices and beers.

  This tour is one of the most incredible memories of our life. Despite the harsh conditions on the sea, we were able to swim with the humpback whales and dolphins that even played with us. Our guide Henua was super cool guy that made the experience even more amazing. He was determined that we swim with whales and even extended the tour a little bit. Amazing!
