Full day Private Whale Watching Tour

The theme of the day is searching for, observing, and—if the opportunity arises—swimming with humpback whales, all while adhering to the approach rules in effect in French Polynesia.

This package gives you more time to search for the whales, observe their behavior in their natural habitat, and adapt to the conditions of the day. It is especially recommended for those who want to enjoy the most comprehensive experience possible.

The boat is chartered exclusively for you. We’re here to accommodate your requests. On board, snacks, a meal, and hot and cold beverages will be served.

During the tour, you may sometimes spot other pelagic species (in the open ocean), as well as rays, sharks, turtles, and dolphins near the lagoon.

Our team, a captain and an ocean guide, is here to suggest the various sights you can see around the island of Moorea, depending on the weather, sea conditions, and your snorkeling skill level.
