The Call of Mo'orea | Swimming with Whales in Paradise

Mo’orea, French Polynesia—a place so breathtaking, so untouched, it feels like the last true paradise on Earth. This trip was more than just an adventure; it was a life-changing experience.

For years, I’ve dreamed of swimming with humpback whales, and when it finally happened, it was beyond anything I could have imagined. Being in the water with these gentle giants, hearing their songs, and feeling their presence so close—it was pure magic. 🌊🐋

French Polynesia is more than just crystal-clear waters and lush islands; it’s a place where nature, culture, and tradition breathe as one. This journey opened my eyes to the deep connection the people of Mo’orea have with the ocean and their land.

Huge shoutout to everyone who made this trip so special—especially Tom for capturing these incredible moments with me, and Temoana Poole for showing us the true heart of Mo’orea and sharing his deep love for nature. This wouldn’t have been the same without you all. 🙌🌴

And now, I want to share this experience with YOU! ✨ I’m planning another trip to Mo’orea later this year and will be bringing a group along for an unforgettable adventure. If you've ever dreamed of swimming with whales in paradise, send me an email at [email protected] to apply! 🐋🌴
