I joined this tour with five friends from Japan. It was the end of the season in November, but luckily we met a whale father and son and swam together! It was an unforgettable and precious experience. Thank you to the wonderful guide and captain!
Thank you very much for your kind review. We’re delighted to hear that you and your friends had such a memorable experience and were able to swim with a mother whale and her calf, even at the end of the season. Thank you for your lovely words about our guide and captain — it truly means a lot to us. Warm regards, Eleuthera team
Great excursion! Welcoming staff! Quality equipment! Our guides work hard so we can admire the whales. I recommend. Julie and Daniel
Merci beaucoup pour votre très bel avis ! Nous sommes ravis d’apprendre que vous avez passé une excellente excursion et que vous avez apprécié l’accueil de notre équipe ainsi que la qualité de notre équipement. Nos guides mettent effectivement beaucoup d’énergie et de passion pour vous faire vivre ces moments uniques tout en respectant les baleines et leur environnement. Merci sincèrement pour votre recommandation. Nous espérons avoir le plaisir de vous accueillir à nouveau très bientôt en Polynésie. Bien cordialement, La Team Eleuthera
A professional and knowledgable company. My first tour was cancelled due to other bookings on the same trip cancelling at short notice (which was quite disappointing) but it got rescheduled to the following day. I had a great experience which included hotel transfers. Everything ran like clockwork and the boat itself was very comfortable due to the elevated viewing deck which massively helped with my motion sickness. Many other companies have very small boats which can feel very uncomfortable and make you very sick when you’re navigating swells of water. Sightings are not always guaranteed as these are mammals in the open ocean. It requires a lot of patience and physical agility. After lots of searching and waiting, we finally got to see a mother whale and her baby. We experienced the whale song which was so beautiful. Whales are majestic and beautiful creatures - it is a sacred and special privilege to be able to swim in their presence. They must be respected and protected. I am already looking forward to my next tour with Eleuthera tomorrow - I hope to have another magical encounter.
Thank you very much for sharing such a thoughtful and detailed review. We truly appreciate your understanding regarding the initial cancellation and are glad we were able to reschedule your tour for the following day. Thank you for your patience as you mentioned so well, encounters with whales in the open ocean require time, adaptability and respect for these incredible animals. We’re delighted to hear that you felt comfortable on our boat and that the elevated viewing deck helped with motion sickness. Your comments perfectly reflect our philosophy: offering a safe, well organized experience while always prioritizing the well-being and protection of the whales. Witnessing a mother and her calf, as well as hearing the whale song, is indeed a rare and sacred moment, and we’re honored to have shared it with you. We hope your next tour was just as magical, and we would be delighted to welcome you again for another unforgettable encounter. Warm regards, Eleuthera Team
Jeremy and Teeka (sp?) Were the best! They focused on the guests and gave us an incredible experience. They observed all safety rules. We snorkeled the reef, swam with turtles and then a mother brought her baby within 10 meters of us while we were in the water. Just to show him/her off. The baby then came back on their own for a second hello. Not to be outdone, the turtles stayed close by. Amazing! When one guest was unwell, Jeremy really jumped into action and all went well. Thank you!!!
Thank you so much for this wonderful review! We are truly grateful for your kind words and so happy to hear that you had such an unforgettable experience with us. It was a real pleasure to welcome you on board. Seeing whales behave naturally and choose to come close on their own is always something very special, and we’re thrilled you were able to witness such a beautiful moment, along with snorkeling the reef and swimming with turtles. Moments like these are exactly why we love what we do. Your safety and comfort are always our top priorities, so we’re glad you felt well looked after, especially when one guest was unwell. Thank you for noticing and mentioning this. We hope to welcome you back to Tahiti one day for another magical adventure. Warm regards, Teiki :) & Jeremy
It is. A beautiful experience with a considerate and caring team . Thank you Taki and Jeremy for a great morning
Dear Diane, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed your whale tour with us. Our captain, crew, and the whole team take great pride in being both professional and welcoming, and we are so glad this came across during your experience. We hope to welcome you back again soon for more amazing adventures at sea! Warm regards, The Eleuthera Team
Hallucinant. Beyond words. Teiki the captain and Jeremy the certified instructor are ultra-pro, complying with the regulations by the millimeter in addition to being super friendly. No more than six guests (we were fewer that day). First the observation from afar - we see the breath of whales and dolphins (!) Then launched: concentration, steady pace, respect for distance, constant attention by Jeremy and Teiki to the safety of all. And now... we see one, two whales. Young. They play and we see them perfectly in the blue water night of the Pacific. We see a plethora of globicles. Unforgettable images. I can't believe it. Beyond the comments. Congratulations to nature and congratulations to the team of stars of Eleuthera. A strong passion for our precious asset, the ocean. Oh, and we ended up with a turtle snorkelling (!!!) Just amazing.
Ia Orana, Un immense merci pour ce magnifique commentaire ! Toute l’équipe est très touchée par vos mots. Ce fut un vrai plaisir de vous accueillir à bord et de partager avec vous ces moments uniques. Teiki, Jérémy et toute l’équipe d’Eleuthera ont à cœur de faire découvrir la beauté de l’océan avec passion, tout en respectant la nature et en veillant à la sécurité et au confort de nos invités. Savoir que vous avez ressenti tout cela et que vous repartez avec de si beaux souvenirs nous remplit de joie. Les rencontres avec les baleines, dauphins, globicéphales et même la tortue pour clôturer la sortie sont des instants rares et magiques. Merci d’avoir pris le temps de les partager et de valoriser notre travail. Nous espérons avoir le plaisir de vous revoir bientôt pour de nouvelles aventures inoubliables en mer. Avec toute notre gratitude, L’équipe d’Eleuthera
The whale tour was phenomenal, the Captain and First mate were very knowledgeable and very friendly. In the swim we saw turtles, rays, and sharks and at the very end got lucky at the end the whales! A great company overall. The owner also created us and was also very friendly and helpful.

We went for half a day and saw whales, spinner dolphins, and hawksbill sea turtles. We also enjoyed seeing Islanders riding our wake on foil boards and outrigger canoes. Our guides were super and very informative. We even were serenaded with ukulele music. Altogether, a great day on the water.
