About this experience
After picking you up from your hotel, you will sail around Opunohu Bay in search of spinner dolphins.
1st stop is snorkeling with stingrays and blacktip sharks. This activity takes place on a shallow sandbank of the lagoon where you can stand as the water is only waist-chest high.
2nd stop is a drift snorkeling at the coral canyon where you can observe green turtles and white spotted eagle rays. This activity is a drift snorkel where you will be drifted by the current while snorkeling. It takes place in slightly deeper waters so we recommend that our customers know how to swim and use snorkeling equipment. However, if you are not very comfortable in the water you can stay and watch from the boat. (This activity may be suspended if the conditions are bad)
3rd snorkeling stop is at the coral garden between the two most beautiful motus off the island of Moorea, where you can swim and admire all kinds of multicolored fish. You will also enjoy a break with a drink and fresh fruit.
