Paraoa
In the lexicon of the sea, 'paraoa' is the Tahitian word for the whale, and it is often associated with other grand leviathans of the deep. These magnificent creatures, from the majestic whale shark to the awe-inspiring humpback, are woven into the fabric of Polynesian sea narratives. They are revered as totems, embodying the power and mystery of the ocean—a living connection to ancestral spirits and the timeless dance of marine life.
Encounters with these giants in the clear Polynesian waters are not just sightings; they are moments of profound connection and respect, a true reflection of the islands' reverence for the natural world.
