Blue Whale Expedition
Join me in a once in a lifetime experience swimming with the biggest animal on earth!
November 08-14 2025
Dive into the fascinating world of the largest animal ever to roam the Earth: the blue whale. This one-of-a-kind expedition offers you the rare chance to swim with these majestic giants in a place that is still little-known, protected, and kept secret for their safety.
We’ve discovered a rare destination, where the ocean comes alive for just a short time each year with a breathtaking natural event: the passage of pigmy blue whales.
To preserve the magic of this destination and protect the whales, the exact location will remain confidential. Full logistical details will be shared with confirmed participants.
The destination is reachable via a direct flight from Bali (Denpasar) or Darwin (Australia) (approx. 1h20 to 2h, roundtrip flights around 400 USD)
Inclusions
• 5 boat trips (approx. 6h/day) with an experienced crew (French- and English-speaking)
• Swimming with pigmy blue whales (weather and nature permitting), dolphins, and maybe even sperm whales
• All breakfasts at the hotel & lunches on board
• 3 group dinners included (the first night, the last night, and a traditional dinner mid-week)
• Comfortable accommodation in the heart of town
• Photography workshops & all photos from Joeva included
• A half-day guided cultural excursion
What can we see ?
Blue whales! But not only. This place is a magical place for all sort of marine life and particularly cetaceans (at least 24 species of cetaceans have been spotted over there!). If we are lucky we might be able to swim with Sperm Whales, dolphins, and other marine life!

Is it for me?
If you are an ocean lover and a good fit swimmer (capable of swimming a long time in wild open ocean) then yes it is! You don’t need to be a diver as we will only be snorkeling. But It's important to be a very good swimmer. Having some basis in Freediving is good as well but non necessary.
You don’t particularly need to be a photographer to join the trip, I will be offering photography and editing workshops and giving advices to people who are interested but you are also more than welcome to join us without a camera or with just a gopro!
I’m bilingual French/English so you are more than welcome to join the tour if you speak one of these 2 languages! I will make sure to always translate everything for everyone.
Where are we staying?
We will be staying in a confortable hotel in town, in front of the beach. With a swimming pool.
Free Wifi and Air Con in every room.
The hotel has double or twin rooms.
You can have your own private room for an additional $500 USD.
*Please let me know during booking what kind of occupancy you will prefer.

I'm proud to partner with a Canadian travel agency to organise this expedition, so my expedition is 100% legal and professional ! (Be careful, à lot of photographers offers tours without thinking of the legal requirements).
The travel agency can also help you organize the rest of your stay in French Polynesia, as well as help you book your flight ticket. All the info are in the link above.
