    To swim with the humpback whales in Tahiti you, as you guessed it, need to be able to swim. You don’t need to be a ninja in the water but you do need to be comfortable enough to swim in the open ocean. Boats can’t go too close so you will have to swim at least 100m to the whale. If you get cold easily do bring your own wetsuit. Besides the whales it is likely we will see dolphins and flying fish.
