Whale Watching and Swimming in Moorea

Overview

Set off on a 4-hour excursion in Moorea to observe whales in their natural habitat. This trip is led by a guide committed to regulatory compliance and animal welfare, sharing their knowledge of the Polynesian marine environment. From the boat, you can observe various behaviours such as breaching, pectoral fin slapping, or fluke lifting, and potentially encounter whales with their calves. Observation from the deck requires no particular physical fitness. If sea conditions and animal behaviour permit, participants over 15 years old who are comfortable with snorkeling equipment may enter the water for a guided swim with the whales. The excursion also offers the chance to encounter dolphins, pilot whales, turtles, rays, and sharks. Necessary equipment (fins, mask, snorkel, and wetsuit) is provided, along with refreshments including coffee, fruit juice, and water.

Activity itinerary

Immerse yourself in the world of Polynesian whales, observe these sea giants during their seasonal migration aboard the boat and by snorkeling if sea conditions and the behavior of the animals permit. An aquatic guide will inform you and supervise you during launches for your safety and respect for the well-being of the animals.
