Moorea 2026 Calendar of Events

AMAZING EXPERIENCE! And I don’t mean just the whale encounters. Our guide Lise and our captain Thibaut were amazing! They did everything they could to get us near the whales and just when we thought we were going to run out of luck and time they decided to go overtime and try one more time! And boy did it pay off! We were able to swim with a mother and her calf!! And it was the cutest, most playful little baby! It was an experience we will never forget. We did other whale tours with other companies in Moorea but this experience was by far the best! They really went above and beyond to give us the best chances to swim with these magical creatures and took really great care of us. We will be forever grateful for their efforts and kindness.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ **Fantastic ATV Adventure – Highly Recommend!**We had such a wonderful experience with the Temana & Moorea Activities Centre ATV adventure! I did the tour with my 9-year-old daughter and we both absolutely loved it.The tour was really well organised, with plenty of stops along the way to take in the most beautiful lookouts and scenery around Moorea. We also stopped at a little local mini market where we tasted delicious homemade jams and smoothies, and we ended up buying some beautiful, really good-quality sarongs.There was also cold water available at many of the stops, which was such a thoughtful touch, especially in the heat.We were so pleased we chose this tour. It was a fantastic way to see more of the island, experience some local flavours and have a bit of adventure together. We would definitely recommend it, especially for families.One tip — if you have time, **book a jet ski tour to finish your day!** We didn't book one, but we heard so many people at the centre raving about their jet ski experience afterwards that we wished we had added it on!Thank you Temana & Moorea Activities Centre for such a memorable day! 🌴🤙🏼

We absolutely loved the whale watching tour with Stephane and Olivia! We felt safe at all times, and they did everything they could to give us the best experience possible. We were lucky enough to see several humpback whales and even had the incredible opportunity to swim with them. It was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience that we will never forget.We wouldn’t want to have missed this experience and would do the tour again anytime. Thank you, Stephane and Olivia, for making this such a special and unforgettable experience! We highly recommend the tour!

Yoann was our guide and Papi Niko was our driver and a second scout. Great guys but Papi does not speak English. Yoann is very knowledgeable about the whales and their behaviors, which was helpful in predicting when they would dive and when they would come back up for air. We located a mother and her baby pretty quickly but there were already 3 other boats there so we had to wait our turn. Be patient, there could be a lot of waiting during this excursion. When we entered the water, you have to swim quickly and it can be tiring but we had wetsuits and were very buoyant so no issues. The water was flat and very calm the day we went.Other tours that were there were not following the guidelines and that did not help with the whales behavior. They were chasing the whale and not remaining in a tight group as you are supposed to do. Yoann spoke to them to no avail.We did swim near the whale and it was awesome. The other groups behavior kept her further away than she probably would have been but it was still amazing to be in the water with her. She was stunning to watch and it made you realize just how small we really are! We only went in the water once, due to regulations set by the authorities, but t hat was all we needed, we swam with the humpback! I would recommend this excursion, it is worth the cost and Yoann is excellent at what he does.

Worth a booking!! We had such a great time with our guide, Mata. He was so easy going and really seemed to enjoy showing us around.

We had a wonderful trip around Moorea with Willie our guide, he was kept very busy explaining in French then again in English! The road up Magic mountain was a little rough, but Willie took it very slowly and we made it safely to the top. Fabulous views! Would recommend this trip.

It was challenging swimming in open water. But the reward was great to experience sharing a moment with one of the largest mammals on the planet.

Kiki was a great guide on the water showing us the two bays and helping us find turtles, black tip sharks and rays in the water. He knew the water and respected the sea life. You spend lots of time on a jet ski moving fast so you should be comfortable on the water. Thrilling to encounter a stingray. Incredible day. Highly recommend!

It was an amazing experience. We got to see the whales and swim close to them. For sure an unforgettable trip! Also the team, captain Mahai and Frank were very professional and helped us throughout the tour. Really recommend!

I've had a long standing dream to look a whale in the eye in the wild. And I can now say I've done so! Kevin was a great guide, I felt safe with him. They do seem to fully respect the animals. We unfortunately had very poor visability due to previous night's rain downpour, but we were still able to experience the magic of a mama whale and her (2 week old?) calf. We could only see mama above the water when she came up due to murky water, but she was close! The baby was curious and came super close to us and entered our limited field of vision. My heart skipped a beat when I looked it in the eye. Pure magic! I wish it had been a boat with only 6 swimmers - they take 12 so you do have to split into two groups which perhaps limits time in the water. But we knew that going in and just grateful we got a spot and were able to swim. 100% recommend!! Māuruuru!!

Anna and Henry were great! Saw some amazing fish (sharks and rays as well) and our group was all very nice people. Thank you!

Unforgettable moment spent with Tea and her colleagues. It was a magnificent day filled with beautiful memories. The excursion and the meal on the motu are incredible with Polynesian songs and music. I have rarely spent such a good day filled with joy and good humor. I recommend it without hesitation. Thank you all Melissa and Lydie

a magical experience We had an excellent time with our guides Mama and Stephane, who were top-notch, warm, and so proud to share their culture; a huge thank you to them. A culinary discovery of fish of all colors, sharks, rays, and turtles. You can go there with your eyes closed. Solange and Didier

Amazing experience! The staff were extremely professional, and Lagoon Vibes provided us with everything we needed. I swam just a few centimetres away from a baby whale and its mother—it was absolutely unforgettable!Emotional!! Thank you

It was wonderful! The guide and captain (I think they rotate people for different days/events) were so knowledgeable, helpful, funny, and great to be around. The boat ride itself was fantastic - lots of fun areas to hang out on the boat, sailing felt very smooth. Great views and lots of opportunities to take nice photos. And the group we went with was so nice and great to get to know a bit! The snorkeling experience itself was beautiful, relaxing, and educational! I had the exact experience I hoped for - something relaxing, adventurous, immersive, and with great people.

Yoann was an incredible guide, taking time to tell us about the whales while we waited for our opportunity to swim with them. We were finally able to swim with them at the end of the tour, and we had many beautiful views of them swimming around as we waited for the right time to get in the water. I highly recommend this tour - be honest about your swimming ability because it can be challenging and recognize that while your guide will do their best, whales can be unpredictable and you may not actually swim with them! Overall, it’s a once in a lifetime chance and completely worth it.
