3 Must-Do Moorea Excursions: Whale Swim, Food Tour and Coco Beach

In this episode, we dive into Moorea’s magic- from snorkeling with stingrays and reef sharks on a pontoon boat, to lunch at the iconic Coco Beach restaurant, to a street food tour that brought local flavors to life. And then… we swam with humpback whales. It was breathtaking, surreal- and unexpectedly intense. Doug ended up in the Emergency Room after swallowing a bit too much sea-water, reminding us that adventure comes with real risks. This video is about the beauty, the thrill and the reality of exploring French Polynesia. We share honest reflections, tips for each excursion and what we’ll never forget about Moorea.
