Special terms

Please contact the instructor as soon as you arrive in Bora Bora.

The instructor will contact you the evening before the activity at around 8pm to confirm the exact time of the pick-up, which will take place by boat (either at your accommodation if there is safe access to the sea for the boat, i.e. with sufficient depth, a sandy bottom, free of coral and not on the flat shore, and if there is a pontoon large enough to accommodate the boat; or at a pre-determined meeting point close to your accommodation). The rendezvous time shown on the calendar corresponds to the start time of the pick-up at the hotels, which finishes around 1 hour later.

If you have to return during the day, it will not be possible to shorten the excursion. Make sure you choose a date when you don't have to return.

A private service and GoPro camera hire (SD card supplied) are available on request.

As whales are wild and unpredictable, you may not be able to meet them during the activity. If this is the case, it will not be possible to obtain a refund or reduction.
