About this activity

Tous les ans de juillet à novembre, les baleines à bosse viennent de l’Antarctique vers nos eaux chaudes. Une migration essentielle dans leur cycle de vie (sociabilisation, reproduction, mise au monde et premiers mois de la vie des baleineaux). La Polynésie est un des rares endroits au monde où il est possible de nager avec ces mammifères marins. Notre souhait est de vous faire vivre une expérience unique et mémorable. Nous ferons tout notre possible pour les rencontrer. Cependant, il est important de ne pas oublier que nous ne pouvons contrôler Mère Nature, chaque jour est différent. La mise à l’eau n’est pas garantie, notre priorité est le respect des baleines à bosse et la sécurité de nos clients. Tous les éléments doivent être réunis (comportement des cétacés, conditions météo…) pour que le guide l’autorise. Nous sommes également équipés d’un hydrophone ce qui permet d’écouter depuis le bateau le magnifique chant de ces géants des mers.

Once in a lifetime experience

Freaking amazing. I can’t believe how close we were, or how much James knew about how to make the whales feel comfortable being around us. I’ve done whale watching— this isn’t whale watching. I’ve swum with wild dolphins, manta rays, and sea turtles in Hawaii several times. As magical as those experiences were, there’s no comparison. I doubt every trip is as lucky, but I will remember every second vividly for the rest of my life.

Great tour but weather was not great as it rained and also windy. They enjoyed the tour.

The Whale did not show up. Most memorable part was the Stingrays and the sharks. The guide tries to look for the whales but no none were around. Overall, the tour was great.

Eco-Friendly, Affordable and Highly Recommended

Due to unavailability of our cruise whale-watching excursions, we booked independently. And so glad we did! Jay was our guide - knowledgeable, eco #1, engaging and fun. He reminded us of a lithe Peter Pan as he agilely leapt from the boat roof to its deck. His passion for wildlife preservation equals his concern for passenger safety. He conducted a "swim test" that humbled our 70+ year-old abilities. However, we watched from the boat and felt completely engaged in the adventure. Cost is considerably less than cruise offerings. Transportation provided to and from Moorea dock. Highly recommended!

Good fun whale tour!

We had a really good time! It was our first whale tour here. We had J as our tour guide and he was pretty good at explaining what the tour was about and our best chances at seeing them. You do need to be a decent swimmer to go in the water because you get a ways away from the boat and you have to swim your way back. They did a test run with everyone beforehand which was a very good idea.

Started off amazingg.

The experience was okay. The staff were amazing and explained everything perfectly. Signed up to swim with the whales and yes the whales are unpredictable, but soon as we exited the pier we found the mom and daughter. We watched as the whales swam past the other groups that stayed in the water. But seemed every time we dove in the whales moved. Eventually our captain left the area and drove about an hour to the bottom of the island to search for more but this ride had all 11 of us a little woozy. The waves near the south were also rougher. By the time we got down there it was another mom and baby but they kept disappearing. Half of the boat had sea sickness and they started asking to go back so we didn't get the joy of getting the up close experience but we did see them from maybe a football field away. Albeit this is towards the end of the season as welll so there are not as many whales. I would have preferred to stay where the first whale was and been patient. That long ride to the south had us all ready to swim to shore for some stability lol but I would do it again and would do it again with this company, just unfortunate that it didn't happen this time.
