Moorea Dolphin and whales expedition – Moorea island activities
Location
Moorea Dolphin Expedition are located on the Coco Beach jetty, right next to the Intercontinental Hotel, in the district of Haapiti, on the northwestern tip of the island. It is advisable to contact them by phone or email.
Dolphins
Did you know that Spinner Dolphins are the only species to perform spiraled twists? Luckily, these amazing creatures are permanent residents of the island of Moorea. They are to be found in the lagoon and the passes in the morning, and in the open ocean in the afternoon. They are easy to approach and observe, and they just love to show off their acrobatic skills.
Other species can sometimes be observed in the ocean around Moorea, such as the graceful Steno dolphins, and the impressive pilot whales.
Whales
From mid-July to early November, humpback whales spend the austral winter in the warm waters surrounding Polynesian islands, safe from predators. These gentle giants are easy to observe, and if the conditions are right, it is even possible to swim near them and watch them real close.
Females are usually with their young. Males obviously do their utmost to seduce them... by singing. The whale's song is one of the wonders of nature, and Moorea Dolphin Expedition's boat is equipped with a hydrophone, so you can enjoy the full experience. An experience you are unlikely to forget.
The lagoon
At the end of the tour, the boat stops inside the lagoon, on a beautiful sandbank where you can swim and observe the rich underwater wildlife. A group of stingrays are permanent residents, there are plenty of colorful tropical fish, and even friendly and shy blacktip sharks.
Throughout the tour, you will be absolutely safe under the competent supervision of Moorea Dolphin Expedition's experienced captain and crew. Relax, and enjoy your day.
Private tours with a la carte services are available upon request.

Moorea Dolphin Expedition – Moorea
Situation
La société Moorea Dolphin Expedition est basée sur le ponton du Coco Beach, juste à côté de l'hôtel Intercontinental, dans le district de Haapiti, à la pointe nord-ouest de l'île de Moorea. Il est conseillé de prendre contact par téléphone ou par e-mail.
Dauphins
Saviez-vous que les dauphins à long bec sont les seuls à effectuer des vrilles dans leurs sauts ? Ces étonnantes créatures sont résidents permanents de l'île de Moorea. On les trouve à l'intérieur du lagon et dans les passes le matin, au large l'après-midi. Ils sont faciles à approcher et à observer, et ils adorent faire étalage de leurs prouesses acrobatiques.
D'autres espèces peuvent parfois être observées dans les eaux qui baignent Moorea, comme les gracieux dauphins Sténo, et les impressionnants globicéphales.
Baleines
De mi-juillet à début novembre, les baleines à bosse passent l'hiver austral dans les eaux tièdes des îles Polynésiennes, à l'abri des prédateurs. Ces paisibles géants de l'océan sont faciles à observer, et si les conditions le permettent, on peut même nager avec elles et les observer de tout près.
Les femelles sont généralement accompagnées de leur petit. Les mâles font évidemment tout leur possible pour les séduire... grâce à leur chant. Le chant des baleines est l'une des merveilles de la nature, et le bateau de Moorea Dolphin Expedition est équipé d'un hydrophone afin que vous puissiez profiter pleinement de l'expérience. Une expérience que vous n'êtes pas près d'oublier.
Le lagon
À la fin de l'excursion, le bateau s'arrête sur un magnifique banc de sable pour la baignade. Vous pouvez alors observer la riche faune sous-marine de Moorea. Un groupe de raies pastenagues y a élu domicile, les poissons tropicaux aux mille couleurs y sont nombreux, et on y croise même les timides requins pointes-noires.
Tout au long de l'excursion, vous êtes en parfaite sécurité sous la supervision attentive du capitaine et de l'équipage expérimentés de Moorea Dolphin Expedition. Détendez-vous, et profitez de votre journée.
Des excursions privées et personnalisées sont possibles par réservation.

Dolphin Watching Expedition
Join marine biologist Dr. Michael Poole, a French-Polynesian dolphin specialist since 1987, or his assistant for this combination eco-tour and research expedition focusing on wild, free-ranging dolphins.
Depart the pier aboard a covered boat for the scenic ride to Moorea's reef. Spinner dolphins, the slightly larger rough-tooth dolphins and pilot whales can be seen around Moorea, with spinner dolphins regularly swimming inside the reef. With a little luck, you will see schools of acrobatic spinner dolphins while listening to informative commentary about their remarkable life and society at sea.
During your tour, you will also learn about French Polynesia's geology and evolution while viewing Moorea's dramatic beauty from the sea. Dolphins are found on 95% of the tours, but the engaging narrative and sheer magnificence of Moorea's coastline will ensure a rewarding time. Guests visiting between July and early November may also have an opportunity to view the humpback whales perform their annual mating and calfing rituals.
Following your tour, you will have an opportunity to go swimming or snorkeling directly from the boat (time permitting) before being transferred back to the pier.
Please note: This tour involves a water entry; not a swim with the dolphins. Fruit juice and local fresh fruit will be served on the boat. There are no toilets or changing facilities on board the boat. Wear a swimsuit under a cover-up, and bring sunscreen, a hat, sunglasses and a towel from the ship. Operation of this tour is subject to guide availability.

Singing Whale and Interactive Dolphins of French Polynesia ©19 Wild Earth Expeditions
In the crystal-clear waters off Tahiti, we laid on the surface of the water, absorbing the haunting song of a male Humpback whale as it reverberated through our bodies as it swam up and past us, a deeply touching experience. We also delighted in an intimate encounter with playful Bottlenose dolphins, as they sought out our touch and interaction. Our journey to French Polynesia afforded us many incredible experiences.
