The 15 Whale Watching in Moorea That Earn Their Price

Swimming with Whales in Moorea (Half Day tour) - What a whale encounter actually feels like

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 264 reviews · from $305Our pick

Swim with humpback whales in Moorea on a small-group half-day boat tour with snorkeling gear, expert guidance, and wild marine life encounters.

“As a once in a lifetime experience we were definitely disappointed. The photographer explained the guide would not be a taxi and this excursion was for strong swimmers only. Our 1st time off the boat my husband and I were the two at the back. So we stayed on the boat the rest of the excursion only to witness the guide being a taxi. We sure would have loved for the guide to say “I can offer some assistance so you don’t miss out but, that was not case.”

“The company was a disappointment. Safety was not one of their primary concerns.

The snorkel equipment was poor low grade quality. They advertised that drinking water was provided, it was however they pulled some old plastic cups out of a cooler that had obviously been previously been shared without cleaning and then poured water from an old bottle. With all that said I…”
