Still can’t believe we got to swim with these gentle giants🥹🐋

I don’t think it‘s possible to understand what it feels like until you’ve been in the water with a humpback whale. The moment these enormous, peaceful animals come towards you, everything else just disappears. No thoughts, no noise — just you, the ocean and this incredible creature right in front of you.

We were so lucky to see mothers with their calves underwater on different days. Every year, humpback whales make the long journey from Antarctica to the warmer waters of French Polynesia to mate, give birth and raise their young. Moorea is one of the places they return to, with the main season running from August to October.

We came to Moorea especially for this adventure, because whale encounters are strictly regulated and respectfully carried out here. Only authorised operators and trained guides can take a small group of people out for close encounters, with clear rules around how the whales are approached.

Also, this experience isn’t for everyone. Due to the strict boat distance regulations, you’re swimming hundreds of meters in the open ocean, above deep water — sometimes thousands of metres deep — and depending on the day, you can be exposed to strong swell, waves and changing ocean conditions. You’re also in their world, which means you can encounter all kinds of marine life along the way🦈🪼🐬

We went on our tours with @scubapitimoorea and @ninamuoceanictour
