Excellent half day private Humpback Whales Tour with our guide Nina and captain Keanu! Owner Matthieu had warned us when we booked that we were at the end of the season so maybe a 50/50 chance of seeing whales, and Nina told us that as well when we boarded. The crew did an AMAZING job finding us a mother and calf with 2 escorts, and then Nina led us to the spot in the water. We floated quietly in the ocean and then suddenly 4 whales came into view, swimming silently underneath us maybe 3 metres below us. 🤯 So beautiful, calm and majestic. Experience of a lifetime! Thanks all! Eagerly awaiting our GoPro footage that Nina took for us! ❤️🐳

I wish I could give this amazing company 10 stars 🤩 MIND BLOWING EXPERIENCE! From the moment we were picked up to when we were dropped off, we were engaged in an educational, phenomenal, exhilerating experience. Thank you Nina and Keanu for a memory we will never forget. The whales, dolphins, rays, sharks, scenery, and the many many laughs. A perfect day! ❤️

I’ve been traveling to Moorea for around seven years now, and every trip has included time with the incredible team at Moorea Ocean Adventures. In my experience, they are the gold standard for ocean exploration and in-water wildlife encounters anywhere in the world. Two things set them apart: 1️⃣ Unmatched respect for the animals – every interaction is done ethically and with the animals’ well-being as the top priority. 2️⃣ Depth of knowledge and passion – from the owners, Matheiu and Trevor, to the guides Vincent and Nina, and the captains Troy and Onyx, the entire crew lives and breathes the ocean. Wildlife is always unpredictable, but one thing is guaranteed with M.O.A.: you’ll have the best possible chance for a safe, respectful encounter. Over the years with them I’ve been lucky enough to see: • Humpback whales • Sperm whales (extremely rare!) • Rough-tooth dolphins • Spinner dolphins • Pilot whales • Pygmy killer whales • Fraser’s dolphins • Oceanic manta rays • Oceanic white tips • Spotted eagle rays • Plus so much more incredible lagoon life This team consistently goes above and beyond — not just for the guests but for the wildlife too. If you’re thinking about booking, whether it’s your first time in Moorea or your tenth, look no further. Moorea Ocean Adventures will give you a world-class, responsible, and unforgettable experience. Huge thanks to Matheiu and the whole crew for always putting me in the best position to witness the ocean at its most magical.
