  Moorea

  FOR SWIMMERS: Our Guide only allows for the launch of a boat after it has been determined that weather conditions and animal behaviour are favourable. Regulations require us to swim long distances to approach animals in complete secrecy. It is mandatory to wear a flotation device. We supply the most suitable lifejackets for snorkeling and comply with regulations. You can wear a neoprene jumpsuit of at least 3mm if you do not wish to wear a vest. FOR OBSERVERS: You can observe cetaceans 100 meters from the boat. Wearing the vest is not mandatory. Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee that you will encounter a whale on your excursion. What's wrong? A humpback whale chooses to let itself be approached. It is a wild animal, in the open sea, and weather conditions also have a major impact.
