Named after the greatest travelers on Earth
Humpback whales travel up to 25,000 km every year. They share routes, communicate through song, and navigate by the stars. They don't just move — they navigate by memory, communicate through song, and share routes across entire oceans. The word walvee comes from the Dutch and Afrikaans walvis — wal (whale) + vis (fish). Walvis Bay in Namibia was named for the humpbacks that gathered in its waters. Proto-Germanic root: *hwalaz. We carry their name as a promise: to connect travelers the way whales connect oceans.
The longest migration of any mammal — and they do it every year, without GPS.
Humpbacks compose complex songs that evolve and spread across populations — social knowledge in motion.
Named by Dutch explorers for the humpbacks that gathered in its waters. The origin of our name.
Travel, reinvented
The Concierge
Your AI travel companion, powered by Google's Gemini. Describe a city, a vibe, a budget — the Concierge reads context, suggests real places with reviews and coordinates, and shapes your trip through conversation. It doesn't list options. It curates.
InspirePrompt
Start with a blank canvas. Type a destination, a mood, or just "surprise me." The AI returns curated suggestions with real photos, real reviews, real places — not generic lists. Each suggestion is new. Each scroll, a place you haven't considered.
Organized Trip
Once you've found your places, Walvee organizes everything into a day-by-day itinerary with interactive maps, flight suggestions, hotel recommendations, and local tips. The AI proposes the smartest route. You keep full control.
Steal a Trip
See a trip you love? Steal it. One click copies the entire itinerary into your account, ready to customize. The original creator gets credit — and in the future, revenue. One traveler's experience becomes another's starting point.

Walvee Dives
Before building for the world, we built for divers. Walvee Dives is our diving community — a group of passionate explorers who travel together, test the platform in real conditions, and push us to be better. They dive caves in Bonito, cenotes in Tulum, walls in Cozumel, and reefs across Brazil. They are our first users, our harshest critics, and the reason we know what actually works. Every feature in Walvee was validated by people who live to travel.
Where we go next
Walvee Dives organizes real expeditions — curated trips that combine diving, culture, gastronomy, and the kind of experiences you can't find in a search engine. Every expedition becomes a trip on the platform, tested and documented by the community.
Operação Bonito
8 days exploring some of Brazil's most iconic underwater environments: Gruta do Mimoso, Lagoa Misteriosa, and Abismo Anhumas. Crystal-clear rivers, flooded caves, and geological formations sculpted by time. For divers and non-divers sharing the same adventure.
Operação Cave 1 — Tulum
Cave diving certification course in the cenotes of the Yucatán Peninsula. A technical expedition with Vagner Marretti and Scuba4You — exploring some of the most beautiful underwater cave systems on the planet. Where passion meets precision.
