THE TOP A TAHITI! - I made two amazing outings with Tahiti Ocean Adventures! The first a sublime launch on the reef with a group of whales and two male singers afterwards! The second one! ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! We stayed next to the whales for two hours! We were just privileged! Living a whale trip is great! Experience a whale outing in a SMALL group! With this company! This is FABULOUS! I really recommend! Not to mention the welcome, the kindness, and the pleasure felt during these two adventures! Thanks again.

Private Full Day Whale Swim - I just had the most amazing day on a private whale watching trip! Both Vehiatua and our whale guide were fantastic. They made sure we felt safe, respected the animals, and really focused on giving us a great experience. The lunch they provided was delicious, too! We saw so many incredible animals, but the highlight was definitely swimming with over five whales. I've been in French Polynesia for three weeks and done six whale swims, but this company was by far the best. I’m so grateful for this magical experience; it’s something I’ll remember forever! Highly recommend! Will absolutely use this company and recommend to anyone travelling to French Polynesia.

Whale Whisperers - Unforgettable morning encounter with two whales, expertly led by captain and owner Vehiatua (aka JB) with experienced professional guide Nathan. Shortly after our briefing by Nathan, Captain spotted whale activity and with great deliberation we entered the water. His advice on proper whale etiquette served us well the next 3+ hours as we swam with the pair of whales watching the male do a flirty dance. Larger groups of whale watchers seemed to disturb the pair but with us they rested, breached, slapped fins and tails and put on a proper show. We believe it was the combination of captain and guide that made this trip phenomenal.

Perfection! - JB was amazing. Excellent excellent tour. With our time in French Polynesia we did two whale tours, one here and one in Moorea. This was the better one. First our guide changed the location due to the weather, waves and whales. This saved us so much unpleasantness. He was very thorough in his explanations of what we were doing and what to expect. We spent time chasing two whale sightings. The second was a huge success. A once in a lifetime, unbelievable, fabulous experience. Not to be missed. Afterward we sat in the boat and watched other whales coming to the surface. Our guide was not in a rush. He actually offered to take us to see the turtles afterwards, but I must admit we were exhausted by this time. A great company and a great guide. Highly recommend!!!

A whale next to the boat! - We made a whale trip on August 10: and we were lucky to be the only boat approached nearby by a curious juvenile!! So we had a good mana on our boat, the others did not have this chance that day!! Thank you to the captain and ONeill for an unforgettable morning!!
