HUMPBACK WHALES EXPERIENCES IN AITUTAKI, COOK ISLANDS

Kia Orana, Join WET & WILD Aitutaki for your best chance for a real once in a lifetime experience to watch or swim with these gentle giants of the Ocean the HUMPBACK WHALES.

Between the months of July and October the Humpback whales migrate to the south pacific oceans to warmer waters where the mothers can give birth to their calves and all the whales can rest after their long journey. For those whales that aren’t having baby’s are making baby’s and it’s their time to help the whale population grow and make some more. After a little relax in the warm tropical waters during the winter season then the action starts to heat up.

Watch these amazing Humpback whales jumping, swimming, playing, sky hopping, flipper flapping, tail slapping, breaching and more. For those who like a bit more adventure and want to get the adrenalin pumping with this lifetime experience then try your luck at swimming with these massive mammals and see the true size for what they really are under water. For an activity where you just float, swim, paddle around and check out these beautiful beasts it really gets the heart going when you are in the water with these beauties that is for sure.

A lifetime dream to swim with the whales . On our second trip to Aitutaki it was realised . We had the best experience and we just loved how they love their island and have so much experience in the field . We did a few whale swims as you can’t predict what you’ll see or how they will interact with you . We were so lucky on our last trip . We had such a great crew Quinton, QJ, Dylan and Chris . Thanks for a trip in a lifetime . We’ll be back next year.

We did the snorkeling and Lagoon tour with them. We were a group of 8 and did a private tour. The guides were fantastic, they knew the area well and let us go at our own pace. We never felt rushed. We visited the clam farm which was amazing and swam with the giant trivoli. We also went to 3 different islands including honeymoon and one foot island. At one foot island they cooked us an amazing lunch! We got in to snorkel one more time and found a turtle! Later that week my husband did a deep sea fishing tour with them where they saw whales and about 50 dolphins. I highly recommend this tour group.

If you’re heading to Aitutaki, definitely get on the water with Quinton! Could not have asked for more out of an afternoon. We had some requests but we were open to his guidance on what to do. We wanted to do some snorkelling, general lagoon sight seeing and I asked to have a crack at catching a GT. Ticked all the boxes, the best snorkelling experience we have had (swimming with massive GT and wrasse, seeing the biggest clams ever), dropped us at honeymoon island for a quick walk, saw big turtles and then very obliging to my request to cast some poppers at the reef for GT. Unfortunately no takers, so we headed out wider to troll for Tuna for a bit before heading back. 100% money’s worth for the experience and such amazing, friendly operators with a wealth of knowledge.
