Itinerary

  1. Embark on an exclusive private boat tour of stunning Cook's Bay. Discover the breathtaking beauty of the volcanic peaks rising sharply from the sea. Glide along the shore, framed by the lush iconic Mount Rotui.

    15 min

  2. Cruise through the serene Opunohu Bay, framed by majestic mountains. Immerse yourself in its tranquil ambiance. You’ll have the chance to soak in the beauty of the island from a unique perspective, with ample opportunities for photographs and peaceful moments. During calm sea, enjoy a different snorkeling by the reef barrier.

    15 min

  3. Avoiding crowded spots, we take you to the best snorkeling locations within the marine reserve, where vibrant coral gardens and thriving marine life await. Equipped with high-quality snorkeling gear, you’ll dive into a world teeming with tropical fish, rays, blacktip reef sharks, turtles, and other fascinating creatures. First, we'll make our initial splashdown at the must-see sandbank spot, home about a dozen rays and blacktip reef sharks, a shallow area where you can stand with your feet on the ground and enjoy the moment before the crowds arrive. Next, we'll head to prime spots to observe graceful green sea turtles in their natural habitat. Than we'll enjoy a drift snorkeling session to explore a magnificent coral garden teeming with hundreds of tropical fish and if we're lucky, we'll spot some majestic eagle rays gliding by. Our excursions are designed to observe marine wildlife in their natural habitat, without disruptive practices like feeding or baiting.

    2 h

  4. On the way back to Cook's Bay, savor a delight onboard platter of fresh seasonal fruits from our garden, local pastries, and refreshing drinks including still or sparkling water, island-produced fruit juice, local beer, or a homemade cocktail with Moorea's signature Manutea Rum.
