Whale Discovery Swim and Snorkel

Every year humpback whales leave the feeding grounds of Antarctica around July and head to the French Polynesian's warm waters where they breed and give birth.

On this exclusive and small group tour your expert guide will share fascinating facts about these magnificent animals as you leave the marina.

Board the boat for an exciting ride out to the whaling grounds. Once the whales are spotted breathing and surfacing your boat will slowly approach and, at the opportune time, your guide will instruct you to get into the water with your fins, mask, and snorkel. Participants can opt to stay dry and observe the whales from the comfort of the boat without entering the water.

Float in the water while these curious mammals come up to greet you. While under the waves you might even hear the song of a male as he is about to jump out of the water! Keep your eyes out for other whale species including Cuvier Beaked, Blainville and Pilot.

Dolphin appearances are a year-round phenomenon here and stingray sightings are also common.

This tour is a must-do for animal lovers! Book now and get ready for a magical day with the whales that you are sure to remember for a lifetime.

Please Note: Drinks will be provided after the completion of the swimming portion of the tour. The boat available for this tour accommodates groups of up to 12 guests maximum. Please consider this information when booking.

Humpback whale swim and snorkel in Moorea
My wife and I enjoyed the snorkeling with whales excursion in Moorea. The boats were modern and clean. The snorkeling gear was the same. There were two guides and a boat captain and we were given proper instructions and safety briefing. We are both 60 years old and good swimmers. We had to swim close to half a mile with flippers trying to make as little noise as possible so as not to spook the whales. The swimmers can't get close to the whales unless the whales approach the swimmers. We could see whales underwater but they water a good distance from us. The swimmers was exhausting and I wouldn't do it again but I would recommend the experience for first timers as long as you are a strong swimmer. We also snorkeled on a reef with stingrays, sharks and sea turtles. That was fantastic and would definitely do again.
