Tour details
One boat is based in Neiafu will pick-up clients from outer island resorts, whilst the other boat is based at Mounu for our resort clients.
Maximum 8 pax, per boat
It is necessary to understand that we do not swim with the whales every day. Weather conditions play a role as safety is a prime concern and we need to find user friendly whales.
We are not in the business of dumping people in the water hoping they will catch a glimpse of a whale passing by. We are in the business of encounters and our experiences and
knowledge of the whales allows us to determine which whales we can approach for a successful encounter. We recommend clients that they are allowed in 3 days to ensure that magical encounter.

Both boats have upper viewing decks for great topside viewing and photographing. Each boat has a toilet with a holding tank, easy access dive platform and clear drop down covers in case of rain. The boats are powered by twin 150hp outboards ensuring we are able to cover a large area to find the user friendly whales. Our qualified skippers and guides have a wealth of experience to ensure your safety and maximize your encounters. The decision, the swim with the whales rests solely with the skipper. We take a maximum of 8 passengers per boat that is broken down into 2 groups of 4 plus a guide. Regulations stipulate no more than 4 swimmers plus a guide may be allowed in the water on any encounter and experience has shown by only having 2 groups nobody is disappointed.
