After picking you up from your hotel, you will sail around Opunohu Bay in search of spinner dolphins. 1st stop is snorkeling with stingrays and blacktip sharks. This activity takes place on a shallow sandbank of the lagoon where you can stand as the water is only waist-chest high. 2nd stop is a drift snorkeling at the coral canyon where you can observe green turtles and white spotted eagle rays. This activity is a drift snorkel where you will be drifted by the current while snorkeling.

However, if you are not very comfortable in the water you can stay and watch from the boat. (This activity may be suspended if the conditions are bad) 3rd snorkeling stop is at the coral garden between the two most beautiful motus off the island of Moorea, where you can swim and admire all kinds of multicolored fish.

Swim in Moorea with Humpback Whales and More

During the months of July-November, the southern hemisphere population of humpback whales commences their winter migration with a portion of the population choosing the islands of French Polynesia as their destination. French Polynesia remains one of the few locations in the world where we are able to enter the water with humpback whales to observe them directly. Our priority lies both to guest safety and to respect of all wildlife we encounter during our tours. We will only enter the water with humpback whales after the biologist on board has observed their surface activity and deemed it safe and non-invasive for both the guests and the whales. Allowing the whales to continue their natural behavior, mating rituals, and migrational movements is vital for a healthy marine environment. *** OUR TOURS ARE LIMITED AND FILL QUICKLY, PLEASE BOOK WELL IN ADVANCE TO SECURE YOUR SPOT***
