Itinerary guideline

Following feedback from our experienced charter operator Moorea Eco Tours we have drafted what we believe to be an itinerary that takes in the very best of Moorea as follows:

Sunday – 7pm Group Dinner at Le Cook's Bar and Restaurant (accessible from the footbridge or the sea via the floating pontoon, Le Cook's offers a 180° view of the bay, the pass and the Pacific Ocean).

Monday to Thursday – 4 half days (mornings when the conditions are glassy and clear) swimming supported by our charter boat.  We will be covering approximately 3-5 km per day across 2 different swims. At least 1 of the half days will be dedicated to the aim of swimming with humpback whales!  On several of our other swims we will be accompanied by beautiful (and harmless) black tipped reef sharks.

Friday – 8am Group Breakfast at Le Cook's Bar and Restaurant.  Check out by 11am.
