Looking a whale in the eye ... pure magic!

Looking a whale in the eye ... pure magic!
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!!

Moorea 6-Hour Snorkeling and Lunch Shared Tour

Goofy times in paradise!
The tour was fun and silly. These types of tours can sometimes be cheesy, but embrace it and you'll have a fun time! The guide was really funny and had us all laughing for hours. We got lucky and had some sunshine (the colors of the water are just insane in the sunlight). It was exactly as advertised - swam with sharks and rays, snorkeled near Coco beach, had a nice lunch on a motu. Highlight for me was learning how to make the poisson cru from scratch, right there over the water. Pretty cool experience. One of the best ways to see the dramatic scenery of Moorea island is from the water. Tours are a great way to do this. For the price, this was totally worth it.

ATVing is a great way to see the main island! We rode past tourist spots to see more local- friendly areas, and trekked up muddy roads to gorgeous views.Manna and the vanilla tour staff shared fun details about the island history and the vanilla farming process. We loved that they encouraged questions and seemed genuinely excited to chat with us.The vanilla farm was the highlight! They served vanilla lemonade and little treats made from vanilla and fruit grown on the farm. Absolutely delicious!

Radhika_R, Sep 2026
I loved my half day snorkeling on Taboo!
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.

★★★★★ Unforgettable day on Moorea Lagoon
Captain Wilfred is the best — our tour was full of music, laughter, and knowledge. Throughout the journey, Wilfred must have spun his magic, as we were delighted to see spinner dolphins, black tip reef sharks, stingrays, reef fish, jack fish, and turtles — some spotted from the boat, others while snorkelling over beautiful coral gardens and white sandy bays. Lunch was generous, fresh, and delicious, with something for everyone — perfect for us and our 9 year old too. His poisson cru demonstration was fun and fascinating to watch. This tour didn't just make our trip — it sealed it with a high!

Amazing experience with Enjoy Boat Tours!! Our guide, Joaquin, was knowledgeable, funny, and made us feel safe. He and our captain, “Brad Pitt,” worked hard to find whales and I felt they went above and beyond to give us three opportunities to be in the water with them. We loved our experience and will book with Enjoy Boat Tours during our next visit!

Magical moment with the whales
We were lucky enough to go whale watching with Captain Mahai and Kevin. After a bit of searching on the water, we were welcomed underwater by a very curious male and his female. No need to even get close; they came to say hello all on their own. An incredible and unforgettable experience!

Tour very well...
Tour very well organized, our guide Chamille with the captain guided us step by step in a fantastic experience, making us participate in both the flora and fauna that surrounded us. Seeing sharks, rays, turtles, and underwater sculptures of Polynesian tradition was amazing. We used the snorkeling equipment provided by them. The last stop, no less important, was lunch, prepared by the organizers, including traditional dishes, and it was of high quality. Unforgettable overall as an experience to recommend to anyone visiting Moorea who wants to approach a tour immersed in the lagoon.

An excellent ATV tour with Bora Bora Activity Center! Our guide, Tahi, gave clear instructions and made sure we felt comfortable before setting off on the well-maintained ATVs. We enjoyed spectacular mountaintop views, learned about the island’s formation, and visited a vanilla plantation with an excellent presentation, plus a World War II gun battery overlooking the island. Tahi made the entire experience safe, informative, and fun. Highly recommend this tour, with a special shout-out to Tahi!
