Moorea, island
next to Tahiti
Have you ever dreamt of experiencing the magic of swimming with whales?
We operate fun 7 or 9 nights inclusive eco-tours only over the August - October whale season, offering you wonderful whale encounters in the best conditions of a small group of like minded whale-enthusiasts (maximum 10 guests).
Each day, we board our comfortable, eco-motorised catamaran (with lots of room & shade), with our tour leader and "whale whispering" skipper & guide just in front of your accommodation then out through the ‘pass’ in the reef into the whale nursery within 5 mins.
Some days we can see the humpbacks just over the reef, other days it may be a little longer to
find relaxed and curious whales. We are back at the beach after 4 - 4.5 hours out with the
whales. The other half of the day is free for you to explore the absolute stunning island of Moorea!
The humpbacks stay around the island for 3 - 4 months for their breeding season & we plan our tours well within this time period!
So every tour we offer is the perfect time to join & encounter humpback whales, up close and personal !
Be prepared for a beautiful life-changing experience!
Please Note: we do not operate day-trips on random dates with the whales

A dream holiday with us in Moorea!
Nestled in the heart of French Polynesia, Moorea stands as a testament to the unparalleled beauty of the South Pacific. Renowned worldwide as one of the most breathtaking islands, Moorea's allure goes far beyond its picturesque landscapes. Its jaw-dropping mountains seem to cascade into the sea, creating a stunning backdrop for every adventure.
During the whale season, Moorea boasts the largest population of humpback whales in French Polynesia, offering a mesmerizing spectacle as these majestic creatures grace its pristine waters. The opportunity to witness these gentle giants in their natural habitat is an experience like no other, leaving a lasting impression on all who are fortunate enough to encounter them.
But Moorea isn't just about the whales; its vibrant underwater world teems with life, inviting you to snorkel amongst colorful reefs, graceful rays and inoffensive black tip sharks. The lagoon is one of the most beautiful turquoise lagoon in the world.
On land, exploration walks lead you through lush tropical forests to hidden waterfalls, where the sound of cascading water mingles with the symphony of nature.
Yet, it's not just the natural wonders that make Moorea so captivating; it's also the warmth and hospitality of its people. The Tahitian smile is legendary, reflecting the genuine kindness and generosity of the locals. Immerse yourself in the rich Tahitian culture, where traditions are celebrated with passion, and every encounter is infused with a spirit of warmth.
At Whaleswim, our love for Moorea and its people runs deep. We are dedicated to sharing the magic of this island paradise with you during your tour. From exhilarating whale encounters to cultural immersions and thrilling marine adventures, Moorea promises an unforgettable journey filled with beauty, wonder, and the true essence of Tahiti.
Each Bungalow/Suite has comfortable beds and 100% cotton bedding and towels, an ensuite bathroom, a laundry, full kitchen with Nespresso machine & outdoor furniture just metres from the beautiful turquoise lagoon.
Planning to stay a little longer
in Moorea?
The island is so beautiful, it's definitely worth it to stay a little more! In our opinion, the best area to stay is in Tiahura (where the Moorea Sunset Beach is located) and the village of Hauru.
Any question? We will be happy to help you out!
