Location: Moorea, French Polynesia

Mother and calf coming up for air. From July to November Humpback whales can be found in Moorea , French Polynesia nursing their young.

Did you know that whale mothers communicate with their calves by ‘whispering’? Interactions like this need patience and a level of trust to be developed between human and cetacean - once that is created they will allow you into their space and photo opportunities like this are possible.
