6 Island Tours in Moorea Worth Booking

1.Snorkeling excursion, discovery of the lagoon, small group.

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 861 reviews · from $118Our pick

Join Alex Lagoon Tours for a four-hour Moorea lagoon trip limited to six people. You will visit up to four different snorkeling areas, including reefs, a turtle-cleaning station, and a sandbank with rays and blacktip reef sharks. Alex adjusts the route for weather, crowds, and your group’s comfort.

“We had a simply wonderful trip with Alex today. The trip is for 6 people max, but the 4 of us (my wife and I plus a couple of good friends) had the trip to ourselves. We went to 4 places in the 4-hour trip, and each one was great. We had a slow rope-tow ride through a turtle cleaning station, a stand-on-the-sand meet and greet with stingrays and reef sharks, and standard snorkeling at two different reef spots. The diversity and beauty of the corals were phenomenal. Alex is a great guide and he tailors the trip to the interest of the participants and modifies it based on time…”
