The Islands of Tahiti belongs to France. It helps humpback whales (座头鲸) every year: giving them a place to live and protecting them from danger. It is beautiful. While many people come here for the beautiful nature, some come here for a different reason: to swim with humpback whales.
Patea Alexandre lives on one of the islands. He loves these whales. “They are part of us here in Tahiti,” says Alexandre. In 1998, Alexandre started driving whale tour boats. After ten years, he created Moorea Blue Water. People book (预定) the tour by word of mouth. “Swimming with whales is not just an exciting experience; it’s also something you’ll never forget.”
But there are some rules. Boats must stay 100m away and swimmers 30m. The rules are created for people’s safety, as well as whales’ health. This year (2024), people can swim with whales from August 1 to November 11.
