Amazing experience in the water with whales! - Great experience swimming with whales. Even on last day of the season! Unreal experience with mother and baby whales. Guides were informative and great to spend the day with. Good to note: this in an advanced swimming ability activity. Some that were not strong enough swimmers to swim quickly and quietly were escorted back to the boat d/t their inability to keep up with the group. Highly recommended activity when visiting Moorea.

A lifetime memory with exceptional professionals - We were immensely fortunate to be able to participate in this experience that will remain etched in my head for life! I can only recommend Moorea Expeditions if you are looking for local people who know the whales and the environment in which they operate. First of all, when we left with the two guides Corto and Rahui, the respect for animals, being as minimal as possible, and the culmination of safety, which is not the case in all companies. It was for me the moment that marked me the most during my stay with the meeting with a singing male. I would like to start again but back in Switzerland, the whales are far away...;-) Thanks. Moorea Expeditions and see you next I hope.

Magic moment - We had a great and rewarding morning, we learned about whales thanks to the explanations given on the boat. The instructors are passionate. After several hours of searching for whales and at the second launch, magical moment and out of time... we met a singing evil, emotion and adrenaline mix, remember will remain engraved. A thousand thanks

Magical Experience - We got everything we hoped for out of this tour. We swam with a mother humpback and her calf, who was very curious and friendly. Our guide was instructive and fun. Our pickup was prompt from our hotel, and the crew was knowledgeable and courteous. Would recommend.

We saw the whales!!! - This excursion was the best activity we did in French Polynesia! The whales were unreal and a once in a lifetime experience. Our guide Joe knew exactly where to go to see them and Grace took great photos for us. Thank you Moorea Expedition!

Once in a lifetime experience - We saw so many whales, lots of mamas and babies. At one point, we could hear a whale singing through the ship. Our crew was very dedicated to getting us into the water safely. If the whales are moving too fast or playing (breaching etc), they will not let you get into the water. We made three attempts, and finally on the third try, we got close enough to see them under water. Very important—this excursion requires you to swim hard in fins & snorkel (not using your arms for minimum splashing), in open ocean with swells and current. Please keep this in mind if you plan on getting in to swim with the whales. The crew was fantastic. Highly recommend!
