" You will be given a full introduction to our ‘Cook Island’ whales and some fascinating facts on their habits and activities while in this island group, conducted by our experienced crew. In addition we will also give tips on how best to spot the whales - and off we will go, taking full account of our speed and position to ensure that the whales are not approached too closely! This is particularly important as humpback whales use Rarotonga as their breeding and birthing grounds. We have had many exciting encounters with the whales during our years on the water but we always remind our guests that whales are wild creatures with a vast expanse of ocean to swim in. As such we cannot guarantee a sighting every trip - although it does make it so much more exciting when this does happen! "
