A grand spectacle - We went out into the ocean for only 20min before coming across two beautiful whales that came to play with us. We were able to swim for 2 hours with them, a great show. The team is on top, all very smiling! Mauruuru roa

We swam with 2 whales and there was no one else there.... - We swam with 2 whales and there was no one else there....I am so happy. They knew exactly where the whales were and made a beeline for the whales. They arranged for a photographer who took beautiful pictures of the whales and some with the whales and our family. We had a private tour and they had lots of people to help support my kids when swimming. Can't recommend enough; was so happy. Even better than I expected.

Unbelievable Experience - We had the best time with Enjoy Boat Tours. Our guides were awesome, educating us on the whales, as well as providing us with great facts and history about Moorea. We went out on the first day of the season (Aug 1st), so we weren't sure if we were going to see any whales, but we ended up seeing 6! Our guides were great at locating the whales, and ensuring we stayed a safe distance to be able to observe and swim aside them. After swimming with multiple whales, we ended the tour at the lagoon, where we had the chance to swim with rays and sharks. Highly recommend this tour! It was the highlight of our trip!

Swimming with humpback whales! - Had a fantastic time swimming with and listening to whales sing. The guides were very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. Make sure you can comfortably swim 100 - 250 meters before going. Amazing time!

Outstanding Whale Tour - Absolutely amazing! Was the best guided tour I’ve ever been on. The crew worked hard at getting to see the whales. I know sometimes it can be hit or miss but we lucked out and saw many whales quite quickly. The guides were excellent at keeping everyone safe and respecting the whales. I felt a bit nervous at first about going in but the guides quickly made me feel comfortable. We had some extra time at the end and they took us snorkeling to see turtles and then the feeding area for stingrays and black tipped sharks. The whales were stunning and obviously the highlight but the entire journey was outstanding! Highly recommend.

Unreal day! - This tour is one that ill remember forever! Unfortunately we didn't go during whale season, so didn't get to see the whales but still went snorkelling in the deep clear water. This was an unreal experience!! The tour guides were awesome and kept up the positive vibes all day, they are a lot of fun! I felt very safe being guided by our tour guide in the water and swimming around the lagoon. We got to touch the stingrays and we saw eagle rays, many sharks and turtles. Lunch at coco beach was very good too!

THE BEST SWIMMING WITH WHALE TOUR IN MOOREA!! DON'T MISS!!!! - THIS TOUR IS A MUST!!! This is one of the best tours I've ever taken. Swimming with the whales was a lifelong dream, & I still can't believe I was able to do it. We saw two groups of whales, & the first group swam away as we got close to them. The second whale swam right by us. I cannot tell you how thrilling it was to be able to see that huge beautiful whale & the Mom was underneath. The guides were so awesome to make sure we all were safe & whales were respected as they should be. I am older, & they took extra care to make sure I was okay. Thank you so much for this thrilling experience. DON'T MISS THIS TOUR!! We left that area & saw spinner dolphins, a group of manarays, & many turtles. We then went to a area that was like an aquarium. We swam with stingrays, blacktip shark & beautiful fish. Joaquin took photos & a video that I will treasure forever. This is truely an experience of a lifetime & one of the most beautiful places I've been. WHATEVER YOU DO TAKE THIS TOUR!!! IT IS THE BEST!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

Got to swim with whales! - What an amazing experience we had with Cali and Charlie. We would HIGHLY recommend this tour company to swim with the whales as the guides were local and knew what they were doing, we got to the whales quick and jumped in to get time with two sets of mom+ calves .
