Moorea: Whale Watching Half-Day Shared Tour｜France

Embark on a half-day whale-watching tour in French Polynesia. Depending on the option you choose, swim with humpback whales and other marine species in their natural habitat or observe these majestic giants from the boat.

Every year, these majestic giants of the sea are present between July and November, and swimming excursions alongside them are permitted from July 20 to November 20. Few places in the world offer such close proximity to these fascinating creatures in their natural environment.

For those who prefer to stay dry, observing from the boat is just as breathtaking. The experienced guide always evaluates weather conditions and whale behavior before allowing guests to enter the water, ensuring a safe and respectful experience.

Swimming with whales is an open-sea adventure that may require a certain level of physical fitness. You will need to cover long distances (at least 100 meters) to discreetly approach these giants while respecting observation rules. It is therefore essential to know how to swim and to feel comfortable using snorkeling equipment: fins, mask, and snorkel.

Important to know:

We cannot guarantee that you will be able to swim with a whale during your excursion. There is no place in the ocean where whales can be observed with certainty every day. Each outing is a new adventure and a unique search.

Once whales are spotted, observation from the boat is essential to assess whether entering the water is possible. If weather conditions and the whales' behavior allow, the experience may proceed. However, it is the whales that decide to approach, not the other way around.

Interaction with these marine giants depends entirely on their natural behavior and sea conditions. If conditions are unfavorable, entering the water may not be possible.

If you choose the swimming option, to fully enjoy this experience, it is essential to be comfortable snorkeling and to be a strong swimmer. Entering the water is mandatory at a minimum distance of 100 meters from the whales, and approaching them sometimes requires physical effort depending on the conditions.

For passengers who do not wish to or cannot enter the water, observing from the boat is an excellent alternative, offering the chance to admire these magnificent creatures safely.

Our excursions take place in open sea, where conditions can be unpredictable. If you are prone to seasickness, we recommend taking the necessary precautions before the excursion to ensure your comfort.

Come and enjoy an authentic and respectful experience, where nature is the sole master of the show.
