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…”

The water was teeming with stunning tropical fish, and the coral gardens were absolutely breathtaking. Skipper Ramon made the day even more special. He’s not only knowledgeable about the island’s history and marine life, but also a natural entertainer with a great sense of humour. His storytelling, warmth, and energy brought the whole experience to life. This tour was a highlight of our time in Bora Bora.
