Whale Watching & Swimming

In the months of August through October, the deep blue waters outside the atoll welcome humpback whales who come to mate and give birth before returning to the south pole. We’ll traverse the atoll and make our way outside to get a close-up view of the migrating whales as they swim, breach and slap their tails. If you’re lucky, our Tetiaroa Society Guide will spot a few whales and their calves within close range and suggest a snorkeling session, just you, a up close but a respectful distance from these giants of the deep.
