FRENCH POLYNESIA HUMPBACK & SHARK EXPEDITION

2019

TAHITI & MO'OREA, FRENCH POLYNESIA 2018

From mid-July to mid-November, humpback whales are present in the warm waters of Mo'orea; they migrate from the Antarctic waters to calve and reproduce. French Polynesia is one of the few places where it is possible to swim with them and observe them directly in their realm. The calves are particularly curious and are masters at eliciting memorable emotions from guests. The primary activity for the wildlife expedition is focused on  humpback whale, shark, and stingray interactions. 

 

This wildlife expedition tour will immerse you in the rich marine life of the Moorea reef, lagoon, & PELAGIC ecosystems.
