Review of Moorea’s half-day whale swim: seasonal encounters, small groups, safety rules, price, swimming demands, and booking tips.

“Absolutely fantastic morning! I felt our guide respected the whales and made sure we didn't stress them while still giving us enough time with them. Wetsuits are highly recommended so you don't have to wear a life jacket, which is French law. I can't stress enough how magical it is to have a mom humpback whale and her calf swim right past you!”

Review of Moorea’s 3-hour Pacifik Attitude whale tour, with swimming, dolphins, turtles, sharks, practical tips, costs, and honest limits.

“I am still in awe... what an amazing experience. Our guide and captain were great and knowledgeable. The boat was only for 8 pax which is perfect. We got lucky enough to be the only boat on the 2 sites where we stopped. At the first stop we heard a singing male and you could literally feel the sound, it was crazy. He was deep so we could barely see him. Then we saw a mom and her baby sleeping and it was the most incredible event. Visibility was good. The baby whale was curious and playful. The mom was huge, probably about 15m. After they were done sleeping, they…”

“My husband really liked swimming with the whales, an experience of a lifetime. However I decided to stay on the boat after we experienced the "test" swim. Which i was not planning on doing and it was disappointing. I did pay for the experience!! The swim out to reach the whales was a long, hard swim in the open sea. Which we were tested on to see if we could quickly swim the length of a football field in the bay before we went out to sea. I only have one hard swim in me and was sad to waste it on a "test". That is after our guide gave…”

Review of Moorea whale watching and snorkeling with Lagoon Vibes, including guides, costs, swimming rules, weather limits, and practical booking tips.

“I booked this excursion last minute because the first snorkeling with whales excursions I had booked ended up being a flop due to inclement weather and lack of whale sightings. Ivy and Christoph were truly amazing guides. Ivy’s energy was infectious and you couldn’t pick truly see her passion for the whales. She was informative and so driven to get us up close and personal with the whales. We had to work hard to see them but with the help of Christoph she made sure to make it happen. We were in and out of the water three times and had to swim quite a distance to track and find…”
