Mo'orea is a South Pacific island, part of French Polynesia's Society Islands archipelago. Mo'orea meaning yellow lizard, lizard (Mo'o), and yellow (rea), is just a 30-minute ferry ride from Tahiti, it is known for its jagged volcanic mountains and crystal clear lagoon. 

​

From August to October humpback whales migrate from Antarctica to French Polynesia to breed and give birth. French Polynesia is one of the few places in the world where you can swim with humpback whales. In order to respect the whales, we observe them from the boat and determine the whales’ activity phases (such as socializing, resting, or moving), before entering the water. Whale watching is still a regulated activity as these islands are classified as wildlife sanctuaries.

Spend five days on the water searching for humpback whales, with the chance to encounter whatever else the open ocean brings; pilot whales, rough-toothed dolphins, spinner dolphins, oceanic whitetip sharks, and other pelagic wildlife along the way.

The week includes 4 full days and 1 half day on the water, giving you plenty of ocean time while still leaving space to explore Mo’orea, relax, and enjoy the island at your own pace.

With only 4 guests on the boat, plus your trip leader, local guide, and captain, the experience stays intimate, flexible, and incredibly personal.

Small group. More space. More time to let the ocean lead.
