Between July and October, humpback whales join the party to raise their calves near the coasts.
Depending on the type of diving trip you choose, you can discover new spots, fantastic fauna, and majestic coral. All of our travel packages include:
Your accommodation (hotel or guesthouse) in the Society or Tuamotu Islands, such as Tahiti, Moorea, Fakarava, or Rangiroa,
