the island
Nestled in the heart of French Polynesia, Moorea is a dream island that captivates all who visit. With its lush green mountains, turquoise lagoons teeming with marine life, and golden sandy beaches, it’s no wonder visitors often compare it to the stunning landscapes of Jurassic Park. From the magnificent Haapiti Bay, nestled along the island’s wild west coast, to the breathtaking panoramas of Cook’s and Opunohu Bays, Moorea’s scenery is truly unforgettable.
Whether you’re snorkeling in coral gardens, hiking scenic trails, or simply soaking in the island’s tranquil charm, Moorea promises an experience you’ll never forget.
HumPBACK WHALES
Every year, from july to november humpback whales migrate to the warm waters of French Polynesia to mate, give birth and nurse their calves, offering a unique opportunity to observe them in their natural habitat.
During this week, we’ll look for them in a respectful approach and in full compliance with local regulations, to protect these magnificent creatures. Every encounter requires patience, as sea conditions vary daily, and finding whales takes time and perseverance. With positivity and respect for nature, we will share unforgettable moments of awe and harmony with the ocean.
ACCOMMODATION
We will be staying in a comfortable house, offering all the necessary amenities for a pleasant and enjoyable stay. Set in a peaceful location, the house provides the perfect place to unwind and recharge after a day of adventure on the water.
Accommodation details will be confirmed once we have a clear understanding of the group composition, including solo travelers, couples, and friends. Our rooms are typically set up for double occupancy, but if you prefer more privacy, single rooms can be arranged for an additional fee upon request.
group experiences
One of the highlights of this adventure is the opportunity to meet new people and connect by living incredible experiences together. Traveling as a group creates a dynamic atmosphere where everyone’s energy and enthusiasm enhance the journey. Whether through shared adventures, conversations, or simply enjoying the beauty of the surroundings, the bonds formed during this trip will make every moment even more memorable.
Food
We will be offering half-board accommodation during your stay. Each morning, you will enjoy a complete breakfast featuring fresh local products, tailored to your preferences and dietary restrictions. For dinner, we will work with a caterer to provide delicious meals, and one evening, we will dine at a local restaurant with a budget of $50 per person (included).
