The whale tour in Moorea was supposed to be on of the highlights of my trip in french polynesia but the guide had no patience and almost ruined it Wished I went with another company

Jo and our captain took great care to make sure we had a fantastic time! The day was quite windy and the seas a bit rough but we always felt very safe. Jo is incredible knowlegable about Moorea and the whales and local marine life so we could learn a lot and also had an incredible experience seeing several whales up close, including during our snorkel where we could hear the bull singing in the water as we saw it slowly emerging from the depths. Thanks again to the crew and we would definitely do it again!!

Awesome time learning about and swimming with whales in a once in a lifetime adventure. Thanks so much for a great guide and expedition.

Great experience given in both French and English language! Very knowledgeable and professional staff. Can’t wait to go back and do this again!

Recently used this company for a Swimming with Whales experience. We were picked up at the Hilton and brought to the dock. There we met Jason (Owner/Capt.) and his staff including Oceanne who was a photographer. Jason and his team was full of knowledge and very frienly. The water was rough, so I didnt feel comfortable going in the water, but most people did and it was safe. They offer the swimming equipement there for everyone. Highly recommended! You won’t be disapointed!

Rahui and Teui were excellent guides. They've brought us to nice locations to see the whales and have a really nice encounter

Wow. Just wow. Our group of 6 friends booked a private ‘Swim with Whales’ tour with Moorea Expedition and the crew delivered an experience beyond our wildest dreams. Captain Rahui gave an excellent briefing, and, Teui, our whale guide was superb in timing our water entry perfectly to encounter the whales. We watched many other boats dump their swimmers at the wrong time or location, completely missing the whales. With Teui, we connected with the whales on every swim, seeing a group of 4 frolicking, and three encounters with a mom and calf, where the calf breached multiple times while we watched in awe. I appreciate that Rahui and Teui are both local Polynesians and gave utmost respect to the wildlife, always respecting the mood and safety of these gentle giants. An experience of a lifetime!!!

Maybe the best experience we had during our stay in French Polynesia ! We had the chance to swim with whales, turtles, and wonderful fishes ! We spent all the day with Jason who prepared an amazing lunch with typical Polynesian food ! He is really respectful of the animals we found on our way, always measuring if the animal is in good dispositions to let us swim with them ! Thanks a lot Jason for the good memories !

Absolutely incredible experience snorkelling with whales. Cannot recommend highly enough, the team is amazing, the lunch is delicious, the whales are breathtaking and the sharks and stingrays are friendly. Wear reef-safe sunscreen!! Even as an Aussie the sun hits different in FP.

The 3 members of the expedition team were friendly and gave us detailed information about our search for Humpback whales and what to do should we be able to get into the ocean to snorkel by the whales. We did find whales and we had fantastic in water interactions with a mother and baby Humpback! It was simply AMAZING!!

This must be one of the most amazing things my husband and I have ever done. Jason, the boat captain, provided great leadership from the very first minute, being very thorough with explanations and expectations. I liked that he told us to expect it to be challenging and pushed all to take it seriously and keep in mind our safety and that of the animals. The tour was really well organised and respectful of the animals, maintaining the safe distance. We were lucky to see a mum and her calf upon the first dive. Such a magical encounter! We also swam with turtles and eagle rays outside the coral garden and blue-tip sharks and rays in the lagoon. We had a nice snorkelling time in the coral garden next to the motu and enjoyed a delicious lunch on the boat. The real superstar of this company is Teui. He was our guide in the water and the real hero, who helped even those less experienced to enjoy the tour. Thank you Teui! Would not recommend anybody else but these guys! Professional, organised and keeping it real (but super enjoyable)!

My husband and I chose to vacation to Tahiti/Mo`orea for our honeymoon, and the main reason was to swim with whales. Our experience was amazing! Jessen was our captain, Teui was our swim guide and they were both amazing. Before the tour even started Jessen gave great instructions on how the tour will operate, and how to safely interact with the whales. The whale’s safety is their number one priority which made us feel very comfortable. I’m not an experienced swimmer in open water, so I stayed on the boat during the whale interactions but my husband was in the water and got to swim with two whales four different times. Each time was amazing and he got awesome footage on our GoPro. After the whale interactions we had an amazing lunch cooked by a local family, and then we swam with turtles, stingrays, blacktip sharks, and lots of fish! Our swim guide Teui is the most experienced person on the island interacting with whales, and it made a huge difference when the group was in the water. Our boat always kept a safe difference to give the whales enough space and not cause them any agitation. If you’re looking to swim with whales in Mo`orea, you must book with MooreaExpedition. You will have the most amazing experience with the best crew.

Absolutely one of the most amazing experiences of my life!!! We went in early October and saw 3 humpbacks: a singing male and then a female and calf. All kudos to the guide that came in the water with us, he was amazing at keeping track of where the whales went even when they were very deep down, and we even had a guide from another tour group ask him for advice. When the calf got spooked (by bumping itself on the reef - this tour was VERY careful about making sure we didn't scare the whales) and swam off, the captain was able to track it right back down so we got even more time with the mother/calf pair. The guide also took some great footage, so even though our GoPro acted up, we have keepsake videos. After the whales, we swam with stingrays and blacktip reef sharks, had a delicious lunch made by the captain's neighbors, and swam with turtles and eagle rays. On the day that we went, the ocean was very calm, so swimming for a bit of a distance (~100m) to and from the whales with kicking only wasn't hard. Still, I would recommend this tour only to people who are comfortable swimming in deep water.

Amazing day out on the water. I was too nervous to get out to see the whales initially however with Jason's encouragement and assurance I felt confident enough to go out and it was amazing! Truly magnificent experience that I would highly recommend. I held on to the board while swimming to the whales and felt perfectly safe. Swam above a mother and baby whale, perfect visibility and an amazing time. Topped off the morning with a swim in the current with turtles and stingrays followed by 🥽 in shoulder deep water with reef sharks and sting rays. Something I never imagined myself doing and so greatful that I have had this experience. Highly recommend

I went out with Captain Jason and Terrie’ on two occasions and both were fabulous. They were sensitive to both the whales and their customers experience. There were a lot of different languages on the boat and they managed to keep everyone informed and included. On one trip the whales cooperated a little bit more than on the first trip and the seats were a bit rougher but on both occasions we saw whales and got to swim with them. I don’t think you’ve ever experienced Whale Watching until you’re in the water with them and can feel the sounds ( as well as hear) that the male humpback makes! We also saw dolphins turtles and eagle rays!! Thank you so much for what you do!!
