Native form French Polynesia, humpback whales return to Moorea’s waters every year. Here, they give birth to their baby calves before embarking for a new migration southwards. Are you ready to immerse yourself in their mystic universe?

After a safety briefing on approaching the cetaceans in the water, we’ll be off in search of humpback whales along the coast.

Swimming is not compulsory - you can observe from them the boat if you prefer to.

Our certified crew will launch the swim only after assessing that the approach conditions are favorable. Our priorities are the respect for animals and your safety.

***Our boat has a maximum capacity of 12 people. However, new 2025 French Polynesian regulations allow us to take up to 6 people into the water at a time. If more people join the tour, participants will be split into two groups, with one group swimming with the whales at a time***
