Moorea: Private Half Day Tour with Magic Mountain & BelvedereYou’ll wind up Magic Mountain for wild views over Moorea, taste homemade jams under the trees, wander muddy pineapple fields, and get stories from a local guide who seems to know everyone. Expect laughter, real flavors, and maybe even lose your hat if you’re not careful.
Moorea Private Lagoon Boat Tour & Snorkeling with PhotosYou’ll float in Moorea’s lagoon beside stingrays and reef sharks, snorkel over bright coral with your guide nearby, snack on local fruit in salty air, and get GoPro photos so you can actually be present instead of fiddling with your phone. It’s relaxed, personal—sometimes funny—and leaves you thinking about that soft blue light long after you’re back on land.
Polynesian Culinary Workshop in Paopao Valley, MooreaA Polynesian culinary workshop in Paopao Valley, Moorea, where you make raw fish in coconut milk, po'e (fruit dessert) and coconut bread in a professional kitchen space next to a production laboratory, then share the meal you've prepared. The session runs about three and a half hours and includes all ingredients, lunch, snacks, coffee and tea. Children are welcome from age 7, and guides Stevenson and Audrey teach in English, Spanish or French.Is it for me?The three and a half hour session leaves the rest of your day free, so it fits easily into a morning or afternoon without consuming the whole day. If you want to cook and eat rather than watch a demonstration, this hands-on format is the difference—you make the dishes yourself, not observe someone else making them.
Va'a sailing tour in Moorea: Traditional Polynesian canoeA 4-hour sailing tour on a traditional va'a in Moorea's lagoon where you take part in hoisting sails and steering the double-hulled canoe while your guide shares stories of Polynesian seafaring. The boat was hand-built over four years and is the first double-sail va'a approved in Polynesia. Morning and afternoon departures available; snorkeling gear, drinks and local snacks included; suitable for ages 4 and up with no sailing experience needed.Is it for me?Handle the va'a yourself, learn traditional sailing techniques, and discover hidden lagoon spots where you'll anchor to snorkel and taste local food—the ocean becomes your experience, not your scenery.
Night Snorkeling in Moorea: Nocturnal lagoon creaturesNight snorkeling in Moorea is a 90-minute activity where you enter the lagoon after sunset with snorkel gear to watch nocturnal creatures in their active hours. Small groups only; basic snorkeling experience required. The operator is the first and only company running night snorkeling tours on the island. Meeting point depends on weather and is confirmed the day before your tour.Is it for me?Choose this tour if you're already a confident snorkeler—there's no instruction here, and the operator will verify your level before you start.
Guadeloupe Whale Watching: Small Group Tour & SnorkelingYou’ll join a tiny group—just six people—out on Guadeloupe’s waters to spot migrating humpback whales with an expert local guide. There’s fresh fruit, punch (the rum kind), and snorkeling gear if you want to jump in. Expect laughter, quiet awe, maybe goosebumps—and a real sense of respect for these animals that stays with you long after you’re back on land.
Moorea: Afareaitu Waterfall Hike & Fruit TastingYou hike a stony, flower-lined trail through Moorea's sacred valley to Afareaitu Waterfall, swimming in natural pools and exploring ancient temple remains with a guide who explains Polynesian legends and plant uses along the way. Fresh fruit tasting by the river is included, and all entry fees are covered — you just show up with good shoes and a swimsuit.Is it for me?Pick this if you want to see Moorea's interior and swim at a real waterfall without spending a full day hiking — the four-hour format fits a morning or afternoon and leaves your other half-day free, while the guide handles the history and navigation so you just walk and swim.
Moorea: Lagoon Snorkeling Tour & Lunch with Marine LifeYou’ll float over Moorea’s lagoon, swim with stingrays and turtles, and share stories with your guide before sitting down to lunch in shallow water. Expect warm currents, local flavors, and moments that linger long after you’ve dried off.
Moorea Jet Ski & ATV Combo: Two Activities, One DayA combo activity in Moorea pairing 3 hours of jet skiing through two bays with 3 hours 30 minutes of ATV riding through pineapple fields to a mountain summit. A local guide leads both, and you can split the activities across two separate days if you prefer. Pickup is included; the activities run back-to-back by default on a single day.Is it for me?Choose the single-day option if you want to pack both activities into one outing and don't mind moving between machines and landscapes back-to-back. Split them across two days if you prefer to focus on each activity separately and have time to rest between them.
Moorea: Sea Scooter Jet Snorkeling Small Group Reef TourYou’ll glide through Moorea’s coral gardens with a sea scooter (no swimming skills needed), spot stingrays and tropical fish alongside a local guide, and enjoy small group company.

Moorea 4WD Shore Excursion: Bays & Pineapple DistilleryYou get picked up at the cruise pier, driven through pineapple valleys and up to two clifftop viewpoints overlooking both bays, then stop at the island's only distillery to taste local fruit products. The 4-hour excursion is timed to your ship's arrival and departure, so you don't have to negotiate your own return — the guide handles it.Is it for me?Book this if your ship stops in Moorea and you want the main viewpoints and interior valleys without arranging your own transport or worrying about missing the boat — the fixed timing is what makes a full island loop possible in a port day.
Moorea: Half-Day Small Group Tour, Bays & Fruit TastingYou’ll ride through Moorea’s dramatic bays with a local guide, hear island legends at Belvedere Lookout, walk among ancient marae stones by the river, taste fresh tropical fruits at Opunohu Agriculture School, and sample juices at Rotui factory—all in half a day.

Non-alcoholic drinks are included.Is it for me?The guide speaks English or French, so choose the language that works for you when you book. The E-Board's stability and personalized pacing suit all fitness levels, from first-timers to confident water travelers—you're not racing or keeping up with a group pace.
Moorea: Underwater Helmet Walk & Lagoon Fish ExperienceYou’ll step straight into Moorea’s lagoon wearing a special diving helmet—no swimming skills needed—guided by a local instructor who keeps things relaxed. Expect close-up encounters with colorful fish, gentle coral gardens beneath your feet, and that odd but peaceful feeling of hearing only your own breath underwater.

Pickup is included, as are a mask, bottled water, a drink at the end, and free photos the guide takes along the way.Is it for me?Book this tour if you have a free afternoon and want to cover more of the lagoon than a boat tour allows—the jet ski's speed and shallow draft get you to the motus and coral gardens quickly, leaving more time in the water with the rays and sharks. The guide adjusts the ride to your comfort level, so it works whether you're a first-timer or you've ridden before.
