Manihi, the island of pearls

The best time is between July and October. Indeed, we have the privilege of being on the migration route of the majestic humpback whales and since 2002, French Polynesia is listed as marine mammal sanctuary. During the season they come to mate and calve which offers visitors wonderful opportunities to meet a mother and her calf. To put the odds on your side, you should know that in July / August the whales are mostly in the warm waters of the Society archipelago, then they head down to the Australes archipelago in September, especially in Rurutu. I can help you organize the most suitable trip possible and perhaps you will realize your dream of swimming with the worldwide known humpback whales! This is a rare and precious moment; few have had the chance to do in their lives.
