YOUR ADVENTURE

Come diving Timor Leste! An exclusive 7-day freediving trip through an untouched paradise with an insane congregation of whales, aka the best place to dive with whales!

We’ll be cruising along the marine superhighway through Ombai and Wetar.  This is your chance to meet the largest animal to ever exist on planet Earth… Blue Whales, the gentle giants of the sea will glide with you in the open ocean! Only a very small percentage of people in the world have had the opportunity to see them and an even smaller percentage have been lucky enough to be in the water with one.  Get up close and personal with some of the ocean’s biggest celebrities—Humpbacks, Sperm Whales, Orcas, Short-finned Pilots, Melon-headed Whales, and the show-stopping Blue Whale. Oh, and let’s not forget the mind-blowing dolphin ‘super pods’—we’re talking thousands of them!

With daily adventures in waters teeming with life—cetaceans, vibrant fish, and coral species that make diving Timor Leste one of the best destinations for oceanic exploration!

And because we care about these incredible creatures as much as you do, this trip is aligned with the Marine Tourism Association of Timor-Leste and certified Responsible Whale Tour Operators to make sure this adventure is as ethical as it is unforgettable and

Lock in your spot with a deposit and easy-peasy flexi payments—because epic adventures shouldn’t wait!
