Marine mammals
Since 2002 French Polynesia became one of the world’s largest sea mammal sanctuary. In this tour we offer an encounter with the cetaceans around Moorea island, you will be able to observe them but also to dive and have the luck to swim with dolphins, humpback whales and others species. Around twenty cetacean species lives in Polynesians water and are protected. Some species lives here and can be seen in Moorea all year round such as the long beaked dolphins, others are migratory such as humpback whales (observable only from July to November).
Whale Watching (usually from July to November)
From july to november, French Polynesia is one of the rare places of the world where we can meet up with humpback whales, and swim with them in their natural habitat.
With our marine biologist, enjoy our expertise to live unforgettable encounters with whales and other cetaceans.
We offer you a private tour, tailored, adjusted to your wishes but moreover a tour that respects the animal’s ethic. Make yourself comfortable on board and enjoy an extraordinary moment with us for half a day or a full day.
To begin we observe the whales behavior from the boat and if it’s appropriate, we’ll invite you to observe them while snorkelling (fin,mask, snorkel). An experienced guide will be at your side and guarantee your safety during each immersion.
On board, we have a hydrophone used to listen to the numerous sounds of the cetaceans and in particular the male singers.
We are committed to humpback whale singing study and research.
Actually, the sounds produced by those megaptero are amongst the most complex of the animal regne, hence why we are collecting important datas during our excursions.
Rays and sharks
In the lagoon you will see common stingrays and loepard (eagle spotted) rays, as well as blacktip reef sharks in a shallow sandbank. You will observe these fascinating creatures while standing confidently in the water. Beyond the reef, on the outer slope is the ideal spot to see grey and blacktip reef sharks. With a bit of luck you will aslo see lemon sharks and Pacific sleeper sharks.
