In order to guarantee a better experience for our customers, our tower has a maximum capacity of 6 people, i.e. two times less than a classic tour generally offered on the market. This allows our guide and our captain to take care of you. It is essential for us to ensure respect for the tranquility and well-being of animals, and more particularly humpback whales. This is why having a capacity of up to 6 customers allows us to have a minimum impact on the animals. It also promotes better observations and interactions with animals.

My fiance and I were looking for a whale watching experience to celebrate our honeymoon. This was the best experience we could have envisioned. Johnny (our guide in the water) and Teddy (our boat captain) were exceptional. They were very informative about the experience and made sure we all had a great time. We saw a baby and mother whale very close up. We didn’t expect to be so close; it was one of the more incredible things we have seen in the wild.
Teri and Jony were responsive, they knew how to find the whales despite significant wind and swell. They were thoughtful and professional. Thank you both for this exceptional moment. Sophie and Kristine
Great experience! 100% worth time and money! Our guide was great, we were able to swam with 3 whales and saw many more swimming!
We had an exceptional experience having the chance to see whales and swim with them. The guide as well as the captain were reassuring, and we appreciated their kind approach toward the whales. I recommend it MĀURUURU!
The captain and the guide were super nice and reassuring about getting into the water. They made sure to respect the whales and the rules. I highly recommend this provider!
We had a lovely trip with Mana and Captain Teddy. Mana shared so much fascinating knowledge about the ocean, marine life, and the island, and their genuine love for Moorea really came through, along with a friendly, positive attitude. We had two beautiful encounters with a baby whale and mother, with respect for the animals and the group's safety clearly being the priority. We ended with fresh pineapple and coconut on the lagoon—such a lovely day all around. And don’t be late like we were! Leaving on time helps the boat get to the whale territory early for best chances for an unforgettable experience in the water.
Amazing experience to swim with whales. Once in a lifetime! Our guide was excellent. He was very clear in his instructions. He clearly knows what he's doing. Very informative and able to answer questions. He was very personable and enjoyed interacting with the passengers.
Saw four whales. Two mothers and two calf’s. One calf was very playful and spent a lot of time showing off to us. One of the top experiences of my life. Our guide was very professional and made sure we respected the rules and regulations of whale watching. You do have to “wait your turn” if other tours have arrived to some whales before you, so it is a waiting game. But when you do encounter them so up close, you forget how long you’ve waited and thank your God for the privilege to witness what you’re seeing.
They bring you so close to the whales, a new 1 weem old calf and mama. Was a life experience everyone who can, do it! It is such a blessing to be in Moorea and a God given blessing to be close to and experience the whales up close and personal, feel, just all sorts of emotions, it struck a cord deep in us. Never forget it! You should do ghis if you can, you won't regret it. Thanks to Moorea Sea Experience with Johnny and Eddy.
There are no words to describe what we have experienced. Definitely one of the happiest and most impactful days of our lives. A thousand thanks to our guides, Hetoi and Teddy, for knowing how to find those magnificent whales and giving us the opportunity to swim with them. Very grateful ❤️
