I would like to ask about organizing and booking a tour in October 2026 and if possible, to add swimming with Wales during that time.

The Aranui 5 is already almost fully booked on the dates when, with a little luck, whales can be seen. With a little luck, we may still be able to get cabins on the departure on September 9, 2026, to the Austral Islands. What cabin category were you thinking of? What is your budget?
