We got a stellar view of a mom and her calf! - What a breathtaking moment when you get to see a whale up close. The baby and mom both came right by us before diving deep into the blue and it was such a sight to see!

Amazing 😁 - The tour was absolutely amazing — truly unforgettable! 😁 Our guide was very knowledgeable and provided us with so much information about whale behavior and all the marine species we encountered. We felt completely safe with her in the water. It was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. I strongly recommend this company, and if I ever come back, I will definitely repeat this tour with them. Thank you!!!

What to Bring Along - Very dedicated crew! Guide Johnny was just great! Choppy waters so take a seasickness pill ahead of the tour, otherwise you might lose your lunch. Bring a smile and lots of patience waiting for the whales’ appearance. Lov d it!

Amazing Time With the Whales - We had an amazing day out with the whales. Our guides and captain were so knowledgeable and made sure to keep everyone safe and having a good time. We were lucky enough to get in the water three times today. Saw dolphins and whales. What an amazing experience. Thanks Moorea Expeditions!

Swim with whales - Amazing to swim a few meters from the whale! Very serious staff and very respectful of whales. In the late morning, a skate, turtle and shark were seen in the lagoon.

Great group experience - Experienced mom with calf and heat run of 4 with juvenile. I had doubts about a group tour for this activity, but it was not bad as regulations demand only 6 person per boat in the water.

Ad best as possible - Very difficult to enter the water over the side of the boat, we were told to hold onto railings and slowly lower ourselves in without making any splash. I slipped and knocked my mask off then inhaling a large amount of water. Suspending yourself was awkward, getting out was far better with steps. I understand fins being a problem but we also saw a boat with wide submerged steps making entry and access far better. Crew were very friendly knowledgeable and courteous. They worked hard to make our experience as memorable as possible. It said on the ticket, water was available but none offered to us.
