Whale Watching Cruises with Te Moana (Seasonal)
Overview
Te Moana offers eco-friendly whale-watching charters operating out of Avatiu Harbour in Rarotonga, Cook Islands. Running annually during the humpback whale migration season from July through October, these small-group excursions provide close-up, respectful encounters with migrating humpbacks.


Guided by knowledgeable local crews, the tours focus on observing natural whale behaviors—such as breaching, tail-slapping, and mother-and-calf interactions, while prioritizing the well-being and safe space of the animals. With customizable itineraries suitable for all ages, Te Moana delivers an educational and memorable ocean experience in the warm waters of the Pacific.
