Excellent swim with the wales tour - Enjoy Boat Tours does an excellent whale watching and swimming with the whales tour. The crew was outstanding. The captain has 25 years of running this tour and loves his job very much. Both he and the crew are very knowledgeable on the whales and where to find them. They are also very good at positioning swimmers to have great encounters with the whales. The whole crew was concerned with the safety of the swimmers and wellbeing of the wales. We were lucky to see 8 whales and have encounters with 3 groups at close range. Highly recommended this company.

Worth every penny! - The guide was great. Unfortunately we had bad swells, but despite the bad conditions they were very knowledgeable about the whales and we were able to be in the water and see several. They would ask if people wanted to continue in the water, and made sure we were all doing Okay before continuing. There was one time it was under us, quite a distance, but it was cool to look down and there it was! I have video of them underwater, singing and even breaching. The best part was their genuine concern for the wellbeing of the whales. Every choice that was made was in the best interest of the whale. A true must do!

An awesome experience - It was just an awesome experience. The guides were just great, assisting us with our snorkeling gear when getting out of the boat and back in again.. In very short time they spotted the whales and we saw a female with her one month old baby. The guides were very experienced guiding us in the water with clear instructions. Also they told lot about whales and their migration. Thank you guys for the wonderful experience.

Unforgettable encounter with whales - We had a fabulous morning with my wife with the meeting of a mother, her calf and a male. In addition to seeing these mastodons evolve in the water, whale sounds are equally fascinating. We were able to swim a few meters away from them and while we probably need some luck (there must be whales and good visibility to enjoy the experience), our Guide undoubtedly maximizes the chances of success. The captain was also adorable and the professional photographer Joaquin photographed this unforgettable memory. I highly recommend this tour!

Perfect day - My family and I recently had the most incredible experience with Enjoy Bat Tours Moorea on their swimming with whales tour. From start to finish, the trip was flawlessly organized. The crew was knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about marine life, ensuring our safety and comfort throughout the adventure. Not only did we come face to face with Humpback Whales, the crew knew exactly how to anticipate them for us to get the best experience possible. After an experience of lifetime, they took us two other places where we swam with sharks, stingrays, sea turtles, and spotted eagle rays. The crew picked us up from the cruise ship area and dropped us off with plenty of time to return. Thanks again guys!

Experience like no other - It was the experience of a lifetime. Be prepared to swim and swim well. The water was really choppy but the guys were helpful. I got to see a mom and her baby. An experience I will never forget. I would definitely book again.

Exceptional trip, a dream awakened! - An exceptional outing. Here, no “whaling”. You can see them. Good. They don't want to show up: we respect. We're not gonna chase them, disturb them. You get away from the tourist boats and freshly landed that do not respect the rules. That’s what makes this release incredibly beautiful! To top it all off: a GREAT team, listening, reassuring, who explains the safety rules to be respected. Good mood at the rendezvous, professionals who know their island, their ocean and above all who are passionate! And it feels. A HUGE thank you to them, Captain, Guide, Photographer... we had a wonderful time with you. Time has stopped. I recommend 200%, switch with Enjoy Boat tour and you will be sure to have real professionals and passionate with you! Maruuru 🥰

You will regret it if you don’t do it!!! - An amazing experience that you must do! A great time and amazing sightings and swimming with whales, dolphins, sharks, and rays. Good safety briefing, and constant instruction as well as correction when needed. Sensitive to the animals and environment while providing guests with a fun experience whether a novice or an experienced hand.

Amazing tour. Experience of a lifetime. - These guys were amazing. They are very friendly, and professional. The tour was really nice, and fun, everybody of the crew were in a good mod making the ride very pleasant. The tour pick up us on time. Gave us snorkeling equipment. They explain everything that we were supposed to do, and not to do (both in English and French). Also they have a profissional photographer that you can buy photos and videos at the end. Makes our life so much easier, and your experience so much better, totally worth it. 10/10
