Meeting and pickup

Meeting point

NO PICK-UP sorry. The fishing port is located before pillar 33/27 (27km from PPT/33km from Taravao) in Paea after the ILM research center. You will see our MobydickTahii panel. Warning: The meeting point may change depending on the weather (Punaauia)

End point
This activity ends back at the meeting point.

What to expect

During this 3 to 4 hour excursion in the open ocean, we look for whales in an area little used between Paea and Mataia, which allows us to make approaches in the greatest respect for animals. We have on board a hydrophone to listen to the song of the males.

Swimming with whales? Yes, it is possible, under certain conditions and at the Guide's discretion (you can also decide to stay on board). Launches are neither mandatory nor systematic. They require an analysis of whale behaviour and good physical condition, as well as favourable sea conditions.

PASSIVE OBSERVATION is privileged: a step by step approach, smooth and discreet to let the animal choose to come to meet us... or not!

The boat "max 12 swimmers" can also accommodate observers up to a total of 12 passengers. If there are more than 6 swimmers, 2 rotation groups will be established in accordance with current regulations.

For more comfort, we also offer boats "6 swimmers max" ( + observers) to avoid rotation groups. We also offer private boats.
