Olowalu Whale Song Project 2023
Whale Expedition in Tahiti Huahine, Ta'ha, and Bora Bora
The primary focus of this adventure is to spend time in the water with the humpback whales. To observe their behavior in a respectful manner, to connect with them, to learn from them and to have a bliss in their company. Learn about the Polynesian culture on land and swim with the whales daily from a private Polynesian boat.
We want to share the beauty of Tahiti and explore the land and the culture of Polynesia. We believe that the world needs Aloha to survive and strive.
Join us on this lifetime expedition to immerse yourself in deep ancient teachings, swim with whales daily, ocean conservancy, and Polynesian culture.

Olowalu Whale Song Project
We will be providing you with live humpback whale songs from our home base in Maui.
Over the last 10 years we have been recording our Maui humpback whale songs on the SUP and kayaks. However, due to the strong wind conditions, we need better equipment.
We are raising funds to purchase a Zodiac boat. Once we reach our goal, our calendar will open for donors to book their boat trip to listen to the whale songs.
