Wonderful - Extraordinary. We had the privilege to admire the whales in the late afternoon. These large cetaceans know how to be desired and so the whales alone decide to show themselves or not. We also had the chance to observe killer whales. A top team that respects animals. It is better to know how to swim quickly. But no worries, the observation from the boat is also fabulous Mauruuru roa to the whole team and especially Joaquin for his film and photos. Martine and Jean-Marie.

Whales whales everywhere!!! Thanks! - We did a whale watching and snorkeling tour with this group, our 2nd whale tour of our Moorea trip, and it was awesome! The guides did a great job locating the whales, then carefully monitoring their activity to give us the best viewing opportunities, while also respecting the whales. We spent so much time in the water, watching, waiting, and watching some more. It was so worth it! The guys in the water keep a constant eye on all the guests, while also watching the whales and keeping us all safe. They are there to lend a hand to anyone who needs it, or an extra push. They communicate well and kept us constantly informed. The boat captain kept an eye on everything and kept the entire trip smooth. The photographer was constantly in the water with us, and provided amazing photos and videos of the trip. We thought it was clear through our goggles, but he got amazing pictures and videos - thanks Joaquin! If you see whales, definitely purchase the video! Thanks, guys! We have and will continue to recommend you to anyone going to Moorea!

Amazing encounter, super lucky at the end of the season! - Wow, what an incredible experience! Really surreal. With only a few days left in the season, there was a good chance we weren't going to see any whales but we got super lucky in seeing a mother and calf not once, but twice! The first time she was sleeping so there were a lot of other people there from other tours. But we kept an eye on her after we got back in the boat and we were lucky enough to see them passing by, just our group. Being a strong swimmer is a MUST as the group will not be going at the pace of the slowest person and the boat can't go too close to the whales to pick you up. We typically swam 200-300 meters there and back to see the whales, and we went in three times.

This is the company to choose!! - We went out 3 times and two of the three times the mama whale and baby went right in front of us floating by. It was late in the season so I was surprised to have such a good viewing!! They brought us to the south side of the island because they felt like the other side would be murky water. Afterwards we played in the water with the black tip sharks, tropical fish and stingrays. Their boat is easy to find it is very colorful with fruit on the side I believe. I had read various reviews and didn't feel safe going with other companies. It made me nervous to go in the ocean so far from the boat without a life preserver but the lead brought a boogie board with him. I could have used itbor a life preserver. I chose not to but it was nice that they would let me on this tour. The salt water kept me afloat with no problems at all.

I recommend 100% - The team is at the top and will do everything possible to make the ride as perfect as possible. Respectful of their environment and animals, I could spend an unforgettable time with the whales. They answer all our questions and speak English! I highly recommend going through Enjoy Boat:) Thanks again!

Excellent experience swimming with whales! - The experience was excellent. The host picked us up from our hotel in a shuttle prior to getting on the boat. The crew were all very nice and knowledgable. They had multilingual options as well. The photographer Joaquin was an excellent guide and answered many questions. His photos were also excellent - those are available at an additional charge. The experience of swimming with whales is extremely humbling and this group did their best to make sure we were able to experience that. However, it should be noted that on some excursions, whales aren't found. The respect for the whales and their environment was noticeable as well. Boats are required to stay 100 meters away from the whales when they are seen. This requires those who wish to swim with whales to be able to swim at least 100 meters in deep ocean with the associated current - so strong swimming abilities are strongly recommended I'd definitely recommend this experience.

Once in a lifetime experience. DO IT - Wonderful guides and spectacular events. Our guides were educated and really cared for our experiences. Words alone can not describe the ability to swim with the whales. Once in a lifetime event, and especially with such trained guides.

Great swimming with whales tour - This was awesome, swam the the Baby whale and the momma. Guides were very professional and made you comfortable in the open ocean. I brought my Go Pro along, but with the professional photographer on the trip I left it in the boat to just enjoy the experience. 5 stars!

Best Whale Tour on the Island - An absolutely incredible experience. I did three tours on separate days with these guys and we were in the water with the whales on each of them. Out of the 4 tour companies I booked with during my stay, they were the best. Would highly recommend it!
