Product Info

Embark aboard our KAYLIA inflatable boat for an approximately 4-hour day trip to see humpback whales off the coast of Tahiti.

Limited to 8 participants, this outing offers a friendly and personalized experience, led by a professional captain and a certified live guide who are passionate about the marine environment.

The meeting point is at 09:00 at Parc Paofai in Papeete, near Le Moana Restaurant. This morning departure gives you time to enjoy your breakfast before joining the boat. After boarding, our crew will welcome you, give you an overview of the day trip, and conduct a comprehensive safety briefing as well as a briefing on the rules for approaching whales. You will then be given your snorkeling gear (mask, snorkel, fins, life jacket, or wet suit as needed).

We will then head to areas where humpback whales are regularly observed. Throughout the trip, your live guide will share with you their knowledge about the whales' migration, behavior, and role in the marine ecosystem.

We also have a hydrophone, gear that allows us to listen to whale songs when they vocalize nearby, offering a unique sound immersion in the heart of their natural environment. Depending on the conditions, you may also see other marine species such as dolphins, turtles, or rays in their natural habitat.

When conditions permit, a snorkeling session may be offered to observe the whales while respecting the animals and complying with the regulations in force. To preserve their tranquility and ensure quality support, snorkeling is limited to 6 participants at a time, always accompanied by the live guide.

Every outing is unique. Whale sightings and snorkeling always depend on nature and therefore cannot be guaranteed. Our priority is to provide you with an authentic and respectful experience in the heart of Tahiti's waters.

If no whales are seen during the scheduled 4 hours, the captain may, when the situation permits, exceptionally extend the excursion by up to an additional hour to continue the search.

At the end of the whale watching, we will stop on the Vaitupa sandbank to share a snack consisting of cold drinks and seasonal fruits in a unique setting.
