The experience
The boat picks you up from the Moorea Hilton hotel pontoon and heads straight into Opunohu Bay, where you can admire the sweep of the island's most beautiful bay while sipping a beer, a cocktail, or a soft drink. The lounge seating lets you settle in and watch the water change color as the sun moves lower, or you can move to the open floor of the boat for a full panoramic view of the bay and the ridges that frame it.
A visit to the rays and sharks spot breaks up the sail. You stay on the boat while the guide points out the animals in the water below. This is watching, not swimming, and the boat holds steady so you can see them clearly. After that, the tour heads toward the two largest private motus off Moorea's coast, and you watch the sunset from the water with those small islands in view. Bottled water, local beer, tropical juices, and appetizers plus fresh fruit come throughout, so you're never without something in hand.
The guide speaks English and French, so if you're traveling with French speakers or prefer that language, let the operator know at booking. The whole outing runs two hours, which means you're back on shore while there's still light to move around, or you can head to dinner afterward without the day feeling rushed.
Is this one for you?Book this if you're staying at the Hilton and want a shared evening cruise. You board directly from your hotel pontoon, and the two-hour window leaves time for dinner afterward.
