This was an incredible experience & would definitely recommend to everyone. The guides were very knowledgeable about humpback whales, and they definitely knew where to find them around the island. We had multiple encounters throughout the day. They were very respectful of the whales and did not interfere with their ‘day-to-day’, but were able to get us close enough to swim to them. Seeing them up close was absolutely thrilling. We also saw a few pods of dolphins who swam right to our boat. The trip finalized in a lagoon where we hung-out & played with sting rays, ate fresh fruit & enjoyed some drinks including an amazing rum punch cocktail they had prepared. The rum punch alone was worth the price of admission. Thank you guys for the best day on the water. Matt & Rosa Plunkett
Ia Orana, This was just the very best excursion we booked at Tahiti! Gabriel spotted the wales after a few minutes. We were a small group and went into to water to swim with them. Gabriel is very respectful with the animals, we enjoied it so much. Then we went to "Gabriel's sting rays" and had a rum punch at a sand bank. Just the perfect mix of a cautious guide, wonderful surrounding and nice international guests. Highly recommended!
Superbes guides, sympas, rassurants et très respectueux des baleines et de l’environnement marin. Petit bateau qui permet d’être en petit comité et proche de l’eau. La baignade avec les baleines était une expérience unique et magique!
Nous avons beaucoup apprécié l'observation des baleines, avec Gabriel qui, en compagnie de Alan, partage bien sa passion ainsi que le respect à avoir vis à vis des baleines. Encore merci pour ces moments inoubliables !!!
Super excursion avec Gabriel et Iva, vraiment sympa et très professionnels. Nous avons pu observer une baleine, big mama, la "Rolls-Royce" des baleines de Tahiti selon Gabriel et son baleinot femelle. Un moment émouvant et magique, avec des guides très respectueux de la faune marine, qui apprécient sensibiliser ses clients. Nous avons ensuite pu nager avec les raies et déguster un super plateau de fruits frais accompagnés d'un ti-punch. Merci Gabriel, merci Iva ! :) à très bientôt ! Patrick, Sara, Matteo, Aurelia
Our day out with Gabriel and crew was amazing and one we still talk about. He and his crew were able to accommodate my daughter who is in a wheelchair, and she had one of her best days ever. We were able to get into the water with a male humpback whale who was singing so loudly we could hear him from the boat. We all loved and appreciated how respectful everyone was of the whales. We will return in 2024 and we will definitely go out with Tahiti by Boat again.
