Reef Discovery Group Whale Watching Cruise in Bora-Bora

Summary

Each year around June, humpback whales start their migration from Antarctica towards French Polynesia in search of waters rich in plankton and safe haven to give birth. During this time of the year, Reef Discovery ventures out of the lagoon to look for these beautiful giants! Join one of our observatory excursions for a unique experience! We conduct our tours with the utmost respect for the wellbeing of these wild animals. Given the popularity of this tour, we recommend that you book in advance in order to guarantee your chosen date. Dates for the 2020 season are now available to book for the months of August to October. You may have the opportunity to get in the water if weather conditions and animal behavior allow it to listen to the whale song (supervised by our guide). Given that the high seas require good swimming skills, we recommend a private tour for all people requiring special assistance in the water (beginner swimmers included).

Why take this tour?

Observe Humpback Whales on a Bora Bora Whale Watching Cruise! Each year, from late July through mid-November, Humpback whales known for breaching (jumping out of the water) and slapping the ocean surface with its tail and pectoral fins, migrate from the Antarctic waters, to French Polynesian warm waters. The waters surrounding Bora Bora are free from predators, and provide a shelter to mother whales and their young ones. Get the opportunity to observe the wings of the sea and if the sea conditions allow it, snorkel with them (always under the supervision of a professional guide) ! This is the most incredible way one can experience and appreciate their magnificence, but one must not forget how powerful whales are. Rest assured that we always visit them from a safe distance, and without disturbing them.
