Review of Moorea’s 6-hour snorkeling tour with sharks, rays, coral gardens, a motu lunch, Polynesian cooking, and cultural demonstrations.

“This was a great day overall. I will say that the motu lunch turned into most of the tour. We found ourselves waiting for the departure back to the hotel. Another couple on the tour agreed that it felt very long sitting there for lunch. Food was delicious though, and the tour guide was very kind and kept us safe!”

The sea scooters were easy to learn to operate and were essential to cover as much of the reef as we did. We are beyond grateful. From the reef, to the huge schools of fish, to the anemones, and coral types, and especially the sting rays who were so sweet and friendly, we had the time of our life. 10/10 recommend.”
