An utterly amazing experience. Simon ( organiser and guide) was fantastic. For a long while it felt like we weren’t going to find the whales, but he persevered and found a beautiful calf and her mother. His patience, skill and knowledge gifted us an incredible experience. We spent at least 30 minutes swimming with the calf, who seemed to love playing with humans. Absolutely recommend this trip with this company

Once in a lifetime experience!! This was hands down the best tour we have ever done. Simon is a true conservationists. He respects the whales and knows his stuff!!! The whales are so beautiful and intelligent!!! We will never forget this incredible experience!!!

Simone was an amazing captain and tour guide on this excursion! We searched for a few hours and he would not give up in finding them. 2.5 hrs in we found a mom and calf. We were able to get in the water with them and experience the most incredible view of them swimming to the surface and back down. Thank you for making this trip amazing!

This is a tough one to write, I don’t like posting a bad review especially with someone who owns a small business. To start, once we were picked up from the resorts we had a 25 min out of the way boat trip to fill up the gas tank, it seems this could have been done earlier as to not waste the tour time and searched longer for whales. Other reviews posted some comments on how Simon isn’t friendly and rough with his words, it is exactly the experience our group felt as well. I wouldn’t have posted a 1 star just because we didn’t see any whales, we all knew that was a risk and it could happen. I think when Simon realized we weren’t going to see whales he stopped at a spot to snorkel for a few minutes. I watched Simon hand out fins to the guest and he literally slapped a woman’s hand out of the way when she thought he was handing the fins to her but he was giving them to another gentlemen, the poor woman looked shocked, I was in shock. When folks started to board the boat after the short snorkeling event Simon yelled at a different woman in our group that she wasn’t climbing the ladder correctly! That woman swam back and just couldn’t believe what happened. Additionally after driving for the last 20 min before entering the lagoon, Simon never said a word about not seeing any whales or that we were ending the tour without any whales, when we arrived at the first resort to drop people off we asked, “so no whales today Simon?” His harsh response, “WELL, Not this morning anyways!” Lastly, again just because we didn’t see any whales was not the problem, obviously a disappointment but it really was the entire experience that was so poor, I don’t think deep down Simon was trying to be rude/mean but I do think his language barrier might contribute to his rudeness and frankly inappropriate behavior. Simons partner (name never shared) was much friendlier and did appear at times to try and be the friendlier one. I would HIGHLY encourage you find another place to book with, this was the worst tour experience I have ever had.

Awesome experience. We swam with whales and their babies 2 times during our tour on 10-17-24. Once in a lifetime experience.

This was a once in a lifetime experience for my wife and I. We had been whale watching in Monterey, California, earlier this year, but she really wanted to do this for her birthday. To swim in the ocean with a momma whale and her baby was simply AMAZING! It took some time to find them, but when Simon did, it was so awesome. Highly recommend for your visit to Bora Bora!

Absolutely amazing trip. Whole my life I desired to see the whales and now you are so close.....Thank you, Simon!!!!!!!

I’m still in awe with the feelings and emotions of swimming with these beautiful whales. My husband and I are so glad we did this excursion. Simon and Delphine looked after us today and was so informative and knowledgeable. We saw some beautiful whales and their calf. Usually on holiday we tend to relax and chill.. however we are both so happy we did this tour. We got maybe 10m from the whales. I’m a strong swimmer, and recommend wearing a life jacket (which they provide - as well as snorkels and flippers) It’s just made it a lot more chilled as you may need to swim 50-100m to the whales. 10/10 - such a beautiful experience. One of my top 3 moments (including getting married) Thank you Simon and Delphine, you really made it an amazing experience

These guides were very professional and respectful of the whales. I had a great experience and would 100% recommend these guys

This is not something everyone gets to do. Sign up and check it off your bucket list! Just wow. Father and son duo led us out to see multiple whales including a mom, baby, and escort- we saw whales breaching, listened to them rest and sing, and soaked in the precious experience. I highly recommend.

What a great time! Our guide, Simon, and his captain, Maui, were like the whale whisperers. Sometimes the whales are moving, but we were able to find them and had a great overall experience. Bonus, dolphins jumping and swimming in front of our boat and a large cargo ship.

We had a great day out. We saw at least five whales and we got some lovely photos. The team took excellent care of us and were really good fun to be with. Commentary was given in both English and French.

A real man with a big heart: Simon is putting is love for the ocean above anything else. His knowledge of marine life is extremely impressive and contagious to listen to. I went a few times on a whales tour with him, and every time I saw in him the same passion, the same excitement the moment when we finally found the whales. He is putting is heart and life in his activity, and never hesitate to go the extra mile to satisfy his customers, for example by spending longer time on the water in case of a chance of seeing whales. His main boat is top-notch (big, spacious, comfortable) compared to the other few companies I have seen on Bora Bora waters doing similar activities. Also, he has an hydrophone, a MUST (!) equipment for any company pretending to do whales watching tours. And, what a luxury and real pleasure to be alone (or max 2-3 boats) on the water to observe this unique animal (I have also done whales watching in Moorea and it is not at all the same). I will be leaving Bora Bora in the coming days, and these whales encounters will remain one of the biggest highlights of my French Polynesia adventure, and beyond… A big thank you Simon, your passion, directness and professionalism have been touching. You will be recommended far beyond this review. All the best and hope to see you soon !

The crew was very knowledgeable in finding and approaching the whales. Swimming with the whales was a unique experience!

One of the most memorable excursions ever! Simon is amazing at what he does. We found a whale within the first 15 mins. And he was able to get us right next to it - within 10 feet! It was incredible!!! Don’t miss this trip!!
