We’ve done some pretty amazing things over the years but this adventure sits prominently near the top. It seems like a mountain of impossibilities, never in my life would I have imagined:
1. I’d drive a dinghy 5 miles out into the open ocean.
2. I’d be comfortable enough to jump into the deep abyss and just start swimming.
3. I’d get to watch a massive humpback whale swim right up and look into my soul (and nearly touch my camera with his nose).
I know some people will feel strongly about this vid, but you should know we had conversations with several whale tour operators, the FP government and the whale protection agency. We did our research and have written approval before we attempted to swim with Humpback Whales without a guide. At this time 2018/2019 it is legal to swim with the whales in French Polynesia from a private boat…as long as you understand and follow the rules, but most importantly they want you to respect the whales.
I truly hope you enjoy this adventure. I (Jason) invested about 3x as many hours as I should have in the video edit, and Nikki scoured through 3000+ images to narrow it down for the article on our site. It’s a passion project for sure and one we’re excited to share with you. If you like this adventure please consider sharing it with a friend. Either way let us know your thoughts in the comments below or on our website.
***We are sooooo extremely fortunate to be able to experience nature in such a unique way. If you have an opinion one way or the other, or if you’re interested in doing this yourself, I urge you to click over to our website. Nikki’s shared a ton of info there…and some jaw dropping photos from our experience with the Humpback Whales around Moorea and Tahiti.***

Gone with the Wynns
Hello. We’re Jason and Nikki Wynn, a couple of explorers, modern-day documentarians, and cultivators of curiosity. We believe Curiosity is the key to unlocking life. It’s what pushes us outside our comfort zone, softens our assumptions and helps us embrace the great unknown. The future is a sea of uncertainty and each of us has a choice: to focus on problems or possibilities. Our goal is to cultivate a sense of curiosity about what is possible. “Every explorer I have met has been driven—not coincidentally but quintessentially—by curiosity, by a single-minded, insatiable, and even jubilant need to know.” ― Jacques-Yves Cousteau You can learn a lot more about us on our website: https://gonewiththewynns.com
