This was an amazing experience. I have an issues with my ears and not able to go under water, and they were very understanding and patient with me. It was great to see all the natural animal life and learn history at the same time. The highlight was getting close to the sting rays and seeing turtles. The colors of the water is indescribable.

Prepare yourself for more than just a lagoon excursion. There’s live music, fresh fruit, and tropical juices to enjoy. We did not even snorkel and still had a pleasurable experience. Our fellow passengers raved about what they experienced in the water -from black tip sharks to hide ‘n seek stingrays. We just enjoyed it from the boat.

    This was an amazing experience! The staff were very friendly, funny and made us feel comfortable. Our tour guides made sure we were safe and we felt safe and cared for under their supervision. Our guides made sure we saw everything the lagoon had to offer, including turtles, sharks and stingrays. Photos and videos were taken on their go pro which we were able to get copies of. Highly recommend this experience to all!

    Well organized tour with a great tour leader
    Len_O, May 2024
    Kevin was great- very warm, personable, and knowledgeable. He ran a very safe excursion. The turtles and dolphins were amazing and the rays and sharks interesting. The first snorkeling site did not yield as many fish as I had hoped, but the turtle, ray, and shark parts were great. Also it was great to see Cook's Bay.

    Fabulous half day of snorkelling with refreshing drink provided between each swim. Guide was friendly and informative. The highlight was swimming with sharks and very large rays.

    Amazing adventure
    Susan_R, Apr 2024
    The trip was so far the best we have done in Tahiti. The weather was perfect, we snorkelled in perfect clear waters amongst black tip sharks, manta rays and turtles. The guide and skipper were fantastic and very professional. They made sure our experience was wonderful. We ended the tour with yummy local rum punch. Highly recommend this company and tour. Definitely 5 stars. The Boat was extremely comfortable.

    Thank you very much Susan for this comment. Hope to see back soon in Moorea to explore the landscape🌺
    Swimming with turtles, sharks and sting rays
    Ellen_T, Mar 2024
    Kevin was a super guide. We saw some dolphins and he asked if we wanted to swim with them. He told us great stories about the region. We swam with sharks, turtles and sting rays. This trip is a must do. Moorea Activities Center is outstanding! We did 4 excursions with them. Don’t go anywhere else!!
    Response from Host, Mar 2024

    OK Experience
    Charles_C, Apr 2023
    Best part of this excursion was deep water snorkel with black tip reef sharks. Beautiful blue clear water with magnificent creatures. Also seeing nurse sharks from boat was fun. But snorkel among coral was disappointing for so few fish (more in lagoon by hotel) and turtle channel was so-so. Worst part was our tour left one hour late due to family that was delayed (2 families that knew each coming from different points made up majority of boat). And everyone other than wife and I spoke only French - including boat captain. So while guide Drew did his best to speak to us in English, most of the conversation (and info) was in French, so we felt we missed a lot. A decent trip, but by far not best snorkel we did in French Polynesia .
