Tahiti 2026 Calendar of Events

We had a great afternoon searching for and eventually swimming with whales ! The crew was amazing ; very knowledgeable about the local conditions , very friendly and they did a great job of setting expectations. We searched in a couple of different spots , and after a few misses , finally caught up with a whale and its calf. Really appreciate the crews patience and persistence !

An incredible way to see all the best of Moorea! Amazing snorkeling, great shark & stingray encounter, and fantastic, knowledgeable guides. Flo and Swan were the best of the best!!

Wonderful experience! Guide and boat captain were great. We had good weather and favorable conditions for whales to show up. Recommend you are a strong swimmer. Took quite a bit of effort to keep up the guide and whales while in the water.

Unreal experience swimming with the whales, highly recommend if you get the chance! We got to swim with 3 whales for an hour or so that were pretty close to us. Our captain Nicola and guide Henua were awesome. Very mindful of respecting the whales space while making sure we had a great experience. They had a little floatation ring to help anyone who isn’t a super strong swimmer or was getting tired while swimming. Got us a taxi on the way back that way we didn’t have to ride back on the boat in the wind or rain which was much appreciated! Will definitely never forget this experience :)

What an incredible experience! We had quite choppy conditions with storms on either side of the island, but the crew still did an amazing job to keep us safe and we were lucky enough to see a couple of whales, spinner dolphins, and some absolutely breathtaking scenery around the islands.We even got the opportunity to get in the water and snorkel towards a whale. Unfortunately, our shy male decided not to make an appearance for us, but just being in the water knowing a whale was nearby was an unforgettable experience!The crew were fantastic and so knowledgeable. We learnt so much about whales, their behaviour, and just how incredible these animals really are. The drinks and snacks provided were also a lovely touch — even a beer to enjoy along the way!Despite the challenging conditions, we had such a memorable day and would absolutely recommend these guys to anyone visiting Tahiti. 🐋🌴🌊Thank you for an amazing experience!

We had a great time. Our guide was very attentive and made sure we were having fun. We are in our 60s, older than the other two couples. He explained where we were going and we saw a lot of Tahiti from the water. It was a great experience.

An absolutely excellent experience swimming with humpback whales! We were incredibly lucky to encounter a mother and her baby, which made the experience even more special.The small group was a huge plus — it meant more time actually in the water with the whales and less time getting organised on the boat.Cami and Patrick were fantastic. They made us feel comfortable and relaxed throughout the experience and were incredibly knowledgeable, making the whole day feel safe, enjoyable and unforgettable.We loved every minute of it and would 100% recommend this experience!

We found ourselves with an extra day in Papeete and took advantage of it by taking this tour. We stopped by a black sand beach with a lighthouse, a waterfall, some beautiful gardens, among other stops. It was great to learn a little history and get some local context! The van was very comfortable with air conditioning and USB-C charging ports available. Our guide was very friendly and knowledgeable!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ **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! 🌴🤙🏼

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.

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!

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

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.
