We had an incredible day with Moorea expedition. The guides were great and very knowledgeable and we saw lots of whales very quickly, including a breach in the distance. We then swam with a mother and calf and had multiple interactions which were incredible! We then also got taken to the lagoon to swim with sharks and rays which was a nice end to the trip. Would highly recommend and worth the money. It’s all very highly regulated in Moorea and you can tell everyone has a lot of respect for the whales which was great to see! A real bucket list trip
This must’ve been the best experience of our holiday so far. The guide and captain were friendly, knowledgable and very respectful towards the whales. This created the ultimate natural experience which made seeing these creatures in person even more majestic.
It is important to know that the whales are in charge here-they choose when and if they show up! But, having knowledgeable guides sure does help! Willie and Louis were wonderful and helped us have the best experience-once in a lifetime for sure
It was a great experience event though we saw no whales and it was very rough seas, we got to swim with dolphins
Once in a lifetime experience swimming with a mom and baby whale! Our guides were extremely knowledgeable and gave clear instructions to ensure we were safe and also able to get very up close and personal! Would highly recommend Moorea Expeditions for this experience!
The trip out to see the whales was amazing , what was even more amazing was the grace and peace these gentle creatures have
Guide and Captain were skilled and made our experience safe and amazing. You need to be comfortable in the water and confident using mask and snorkel. You have to swim fast and be aware of your surroundings
Great Experience. Saw the humpback whales despite being in the end of the season. Great guide who followed the rules and respected the animals
Unique experience ! Our guide was great, didn't let go until we had a whole whale family in front of us a second time
Had the best experience ever. O’Neill and Yannick were amazing. The best captain and O’Neill kept us safe in the water. Went out of Tahiti, saw 7 whales and swam with 5 of them. Even got to snorkel at a reef after with a ton of turtles. It was the most amazing day!
