One of the most powerful animal encounters we have experienced is coming eye-to-eye with a humpback whale! This expedition is for intrepid travelers who want to experience a truely magical moment with a humpback whale. The very remote and small island of Rurutu, French Polynesia, is our location of choice for a snorkel-only trip. But, we are adding a live-aboard in Fakarava for some great shark diving to balance out the journey.
Due to the limited size of the live-aboard, a lucky few can choose to focus on the Rurutu snorkeling only. We can also add land-based diving in the archipelago to round out your trip.
