Private Half Day Whale Watching Tour

We had an amazing time. Crew was very attentive, explaining all the details and rules! It’s very important to be patient and respectful to what nature offers to you! I can only recommend them.

We had the most amazing adventure with moorea sea experience. Our captain and our guide went truly above and beyond to help us see whales. They were patient and knowledgeable and so clearly respected the health of the whale population and the regulations around protecting whales that moorea has in place. Because of their expertise, we were able to swim with two whales, and it is an experience I will never forget, the whales were so beautiful and graceful, there are no words. And when we were waiting to see the whales, we got to jump off the boat and have a wonderful experience with a beautiful spotted eagle ray! Thank you again, Manatea and Henua for the time and attention that made this possible!

We went on this private tour with a mixture of ages and everyone loved it. The guide was fantastic. We had so much fun and felt very safe. Didn't see a whale (early in the season) but saw spinner dolphins, turtles, rays, and sharks. Highly recommend!

AMAZING Experience!! I recommend 100%!! The captain and guide treated us great, explained everything perfectly and made us feel safe in the water at all times! He has great knowledge of the behavior of whales that made us see and swim with them for a long time! Repeat with them for sure

This was our second time going out with Mo’orea Sea Experience, and somehow it still felt just as special and awe-inspiring as the first. That’s what makes this crew so unique — every trip feels new, meaningful, and deeply personal. From the start, the connection with the team is effortless. They’re not just great at what they do — they’re genuinely good people who care about making the experience unforgettable for you while always keeping the ocean and its creatures at the center of it all. One of the things we respect most is their approach to the whales and the ocean in general. There’s a clear respect and intention in everything they do — never chasing, never intruding. You’re witnessing something incredible, but doing it the right way. And they don’t just take you out there — they teach you, guide you, and make sure you walk away with more than just memories. You leave with a deeper understanding and appreciation. We’ve had moments with them that are hard to describe — the kind you carry with you long after you leave. It's rare to find a company that makes you feel like part of something bigger. Mo’orea Sea Experience does that. Until next time!!! Mauruuru 🤙 Alina & Derek

We did the private half day swimming with whales tour with Moorea Sea Experience and it was phenomenal, words can’t describe the experience. We saw several whales and swam within feet of these beautiful creatures. I would definitely recommend this company for a 10/10 experience. I would also recommend adding the photography/videography package to really capture the magic of your day. Would absolutely do again.

It was genuinely a great experience, we saw a few juvenile humpbacks up close, which was truly magical. What took away from this marine experience was the guide pulling me back by my fin when I accidentally floated away a couple of meters from group while watching. Today was hard to hold close to group, as they kept swimming away while I was in awe of the whales, but they seemed to get annoyed by it which wasn’t intentional. I’ve swam with whales in Australia a few times now, and am extremely respectful of keeping my distance however today was a little confronting being told to stay back a lot when we weren’t really at dangerous proximity. I saw other groups and boats get a lot closer. We were also told to hold onto a boogie board together which I didn’t want to do to give myself space from inexperienced snorkelers who kept being on top of each other. One panicked before we even started. The captain was super friendly and warm which made up for a bit of the group hostility. It was a little uncomfortable to be around, but I really enjoyed the whales. This was for a milestone birthday and was very excited to do this here in Tahiti, however I was disappointed by the group dynamic, and guide wanting us to stick so close with each other when some people clearly weren’t comfortable in the water. I love whales and thought that part was amazing!

Our team was truly fantastic and gave us a day of beautiful memories! They were very welcoming, kind, patient, and made sure we were safe at all times. When we spotted whales, they made sure to prioritize our safety while ensuring we received the full experience. It was truly special!

We went on multiple trips with Mana, Ariihau, & there team. Amazing. As inexperienced snorkelers, we felt very safe and taken care of. They were patient and positive and we had a genuinely great time. The whales were amazing, and the respect and wonder that this team has for them is palpable. Absolutely recommend to anyone looking to experience the humpback whales in an intimate and respectful way.

We were recommend to book this tour by our Enjoy Moorea Island tour guide as we were looking for a last minute booking. Moorea Sea Experience did not disappoint. The guide and driver were great and really know there jobs well. We had two incredible encounters with a Mama, Baby and escort whale. If you want to go whale watching and swim with the whales choose this tour!
