Moorea Whale Watching: The 15 Best Boats

Swimming with Whales in Moorea (Half Day tour) - Searching for Humpback Whales Between July and November

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 264 reviews · from $305Our pick

Review of Moorea’s half-day whale swim: small groups, strong swimming required, seasonal humpbacks, safety, price, and practical tips.

“As a once in a lifetime experience we were definitely disappointed. The photographer explained the guide would not be a taxi and this excursion was for strong swimmers only. Our 1st time off the boat my husband and I were the two at the back. So we stayed on the boat the rest of the excursion only to witness the guide being a taxi. We sure would have loved for the guide to say “I can offer some assistance so you don’t miss out but, that was not case.”
