Best Whale & Dolphin Watching

Rurutu

Home to large pods of whales migrating there with their calves between July and October. Rurutu is a place for pregnant females to give birth, feed their young and let them gain enough weight and strength for the long journey home around October/November. Rurutu’s shallow waters are free of deep-sea predators, and in case of a storm there are calm lagoons on both sides.
