Moorea Travel Guides (Updated September 2026)

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!

Such a great experience! Not only did we have fun and get to see many awesome vistas, we learned a lot about the local culture, topography and history! Highly recommend this tour!

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.

We booked two tours with Lagoon Vibes and were absolutely not disappointed. Ivy gave it her all and, together with Christoph, made sure we had an amazing day out on the water.After only a short time, we were already in the water with a mother and her calf, accompanied by an escort. It was truly one of the most beautiful moments of my life. We were able to observe the group for a long time, sometimes from incredibly close by. The curious little calf kept coming back to the surface and seemed to inspect us!We eventually returned to the boat — but not for long. Two adult whales were nearby, and once again we had the incredible opportunity to get into the water and see them up close.What we especially loved about Lagoon Vibes was how warm and welcoming Ivy is and how much passion she puts into every tour. You can really feel how much she cares about the animals and about giving her guests an unforgettable experience.If you’re thinking about booking a whale tour in French Polynesia, don’t hesitate to book with Lagoon Vibes! We wholeheartedly recommend them. ❤️🐋

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.

The scenery was beautiful. It was so cool to learn about the Marble Eels and the pineapple fields. Our guide Mauta was a lot of fun and did excellent job of showing us a great time. I highly recommend this adventure.

Unforgettable day with caring and very kind guides. We were spoiled because we saw dolphins, stingrays, blacktip sharks, and turtles. The meal with our feet in the water was perfect, the atmosphere great.

We could not be happier with our experience with Robert at Moorea Photo and Stingray Studio. He was communicative, professional , and did a phenomenal job capturing our honeymoon photos. He made sure we got every shot we hoped for while offering brilliant location and style suggestions of his own. On top of that, it doubled as an informative private tour of Moorea, showing us stunning sighs well off our radar that made the day truly special. Highly communicative and easy to schedule with, we 100% recommend using Robert.

Pleasant way to travel between the islands. The ride is smooth, there is food on board and the views are fantastic.

Simple and easy embarkation and disembarkation. Very friendly staff. Seats are comfortable and the ship is clean.

Absolutely amazing experience! The photographer was incredibly talented, professional, and made me feel completely comfortable throughout the shoot. The photos turned out even better than I expected : natural, beautiful, and full of emotion. 😍

Great experience discovering Moorea by sea and by land (it was a combo island tour by jet ski + 3.5 hours of quad biking) Tourist discovery experience full of humor and good spirits We recommend it without hesitation

This is a great Jet ski tour. You get to tour the island as well as stop at two areas to snorkel. This is better then going with a boat excursions. You get to have fun on the jet ski. See some beautiful scenery and snorkel with the sharks/ rays and around some very nice coral. Highly recommend.
