Book on Viator Confirmed right away, but you pay full price.€500This boat tour in Bora Bora lasts about three and a half hours and focuses on observing humpback whales in their natural environment. The operator, Tohora Bora Bora, was the first to introduce whale migration observation to the public here and has over 15 years of experience. Simon, the guide and captain, conducts the tour with respect for the whales and follows strict rules on group size, distance, and approach to protect these marine mammals. During the tour, guests may listen to whale songs using a directional hydrophone installed on the boat. The observation route depends on whale behavior as well as weather and sea conditions, which can include waves or swell. Swimming with the whales is optional but not guaranteed; if chosen, it involves swimming over 100 meters in open sea and requires good physical condition and comfort in the water. Those who prefer can remain on board to watch the whales from the boat. Each outing is unique due to the unpredictable nature of the whales’ movements, and safety and respect for the animals are priorities throughout the excursion. Equipment for swimming is available upon request.
