Whale watching and snorkelling in Moorea
Description
Join us to observe whales in their natural environment in compliance with regulations, supervised by a team concerned with your safety and animal welfare. We will share our knowledge and passion for the Polynesian marine environment and will do our utmost to ensure you have an unforgettable experience. Although unpredictable, it is not uncommon in Moorea to contemplate whales with their calf, love parades, jumps, pectoral fin strikes, caudals out of the water. These observations of the vessel do not require any particular physical ability. If the behavior of the animals and the sea conditions allow, we can offer people over 15 comfortable with fins, mask and snorkeling framed by our Aquatic Guide with these giants of the oceans. You may also have the chance to meet dolphins, globicles, turtles, skates and sharks.

This was the most incredible experience! Wonderful and very respectful guides, who were very knowledgeable and made the experience unforgettable with their small touches. Highly recommend!
Ivy and Kristof (sp?) were very passionate and motivated to get our group a worthwhile whale watching and swimming experience. The day before our trip, they saw 0 whale activity, not even a sighting so we were very fortunate to see a bunch of whale activity. It took 3+ hours of navigating until we found one chance to go in the water and see them. We lucked out and got to see the mother whale and her calf in the water during a 20 minute swim! At this point, most other boats gave up and turned around, but we had this wonderful experience thanks to the determined nature of our guides. All provided equipment, including wetsuits and snorkels, functioned well. The boat ride was pleasant and not very choppy even during the storm on the way back to the quay.
Very good team listening and friendly, looking and correlating with other boats. not seen whales unfortunately, but it is the game, nature is unpredictable
Lagoon Vibes is a great company. Ivy the guide spoke fluent English and French. She was friendly and had great positive energy. I had a brilliant day snorkelling with the whales
A really great morning spent with Christophe and Ivy. A calm, caring, professional and very respectful captain of the ocean, its inhabitants and other boats! Ivy super competent like a fish in the water led us where we needed to be for an observation of 4 beautiful humpback whales, and turtles...she shares her knowledge and passion of the marine environment.... finally a beautiful team that these 2 pleasant smiling people 🤗
You have to know how to swim well, with fins and snorkel. We're diving in the open sea. Christophe, the driver, and Ivy, the guide, form an excellent team! I recommend!!
Amazing experience swimming with the whales. Captain was very friendly and Ivy (guide) extremely knowledgeable and sweet. They both make sure you have the best possible experience while prioritizing safety and enjoyment. Would 100% use them again.
Ivy and Christoph were amazing hosts and very knowledgeable. Knew exactly where to be and how to interact. While you can’t guarantee what you’ll see we saw a mom and calf and got amazing pictures. Highly recommend! Of note: they provide wetsuits so you don’t need to rent any Also if you’re not a great swimmer don’t hang on to the life ring Ivy has for safety. She’s not your personal tow float.
My wife and I had an absolutely amazing time. Our captain was Cristoff and our diver I believe her name was Ivey. Both were very knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and an absolute pleasure. We cannot thank them more. First dive and swim we found ourselves watching a mom and her baby. A must do experience!
I had Ivy as a guide, and she had no problems identifying the whales under water. Fantastic trip with fantastic whale experience...
