Our Amazing Tours
Swim with Humpbacks
in
VAVA'U, TONGA
for 2026!
​Join us in our beloved Vava'u!
From July to October the Vava'u archipelago in northern Tonga is perhaps the most famous place in the world for swimming with humpback whales— and for good reason. These beautiful islands with their protected bays, reefs and coves offer a different whale experience every day! Our crew are super experienced and our passion for the whales runs deep. Come meet the humpbacks in their own tropical paradise with us!
Swim with Orcas
in
ALTA, NORWAY
Join us in the breathtaking fjords of northern Norway for an unforgettable week with the ocean’s most intelligent marine creature—the orca. You’ll head out daily in small groups for respectful, in-water encounters, enjoy engaging lectures from our orca expert Pierre Robert de LaTour, and with a bit of luck, you may even witness the magic of the Aurora Borealis dancing above the liveaboard boat.

Swim with Humpbacks
in
AITUTAKI, COOK ISLANDS
for 2026!
Join us early-August - mid-October on beautiful Aitutaki Island, known as the "most beautiful island in the world"
This South Pacific destination is the best kept-secret location for swimming with humpback whales in the world! Away from the crowds, a place where you have the whales for yourself every day, with just 3 boat operators, we can be swimming with humpbacks within 8 mins from leaving the dock, allowing us even more incredible interactions. Our passionate, respectful & experienced crew, love making your dream come true!
Swim with Blue Whales
in
TIMOR LESTE, OMBAI WETAR STRAIT
A wonderful new WhaleSwim Adventure! While looking to get away from the crowds, we found this new destination on an island, in the Ombai Wetar Strait, north of Australia. A little gem, where you will swim with the legendary, biggest animal on the planet, the Blue Whale! You will also connect with so many different mammals & sea life, such as the pilot whales, many different species of dolphins and sometimes, sperm whales!

« I cannot put into words how amazing this trip and company were. The entire crew was exceptional. They all made us feel very comfortable in the water and were true whale whisperers! I also liked the fact that they were very respectful of the whales. If there were too many people in the water we would go look for other whales and were always able to find them. This was by far the best trip of my life and was truly life changing. I could not recommend this company enough and would love to come back some day! »
Carmen, Melbourne
« I knew when we booked this tour it would be special but i had no idea how life changing it would be. Each day on the water provided a different and equally incredible interaction with the whales. From seeing babies come up from below, mothers and babies swimming together, hearing whale song as we swam, seeing juvenile whales and breaching whales it was as close to a spiritual experience that I could imagine. A big heart fell thank you to the whole team for the most amazing and unforgettable experience of my life.»
Rafa, San Diego
« My wife and I had an experience of a lifetime swimming with whales. Words cannot do justice to how amazing it was. The crew made our trip unforgettable, they treated us like family. Thanks to their expertise, we were able to swim with Humpback Whales every day, and they made sure we were all safe while providing an extraordinary experience. Another note, the food prepared by Emma was exceptionnal! We could definitely come back just for the amazing dishes she prepared!
Thank you so much for this amazing week!»
