Moorea Tiki Tour

Le Tiki Tour est la référence absolue des excursions lagon à Moorea — unanimement plébiscité sur Viator et TripAdvisor, signalé "likely to sell out". What makes it unique: the traditional Polynesian outrigger canoes. Pas de hors-bord banal, mais les plus beaux bateaux de Moorea, avec une ambiance garantie from the start. The guides play ukulele, singent, racontent les légendes of the island avec une joie communicative. The atmosphere is warm, festive and deeply Polynesian.

The full-day programme covers both bays (Cook's Bay et Opunohu Bay), les tikis immergés, le snorkeling avec rays, sharks et tortues — et se conclut par an excellent meal, generously served on a sandbank. Le groupe ne dépasse jamais 12 personnes. Hotel pick-up included. A day you'll never forget.

Programme: 9:00am welcome at the dock → guided boat tour → Cook's Bay → Opunohu Bay → tikis immergés → rays and sharks → déjeuner poisson cru → 15h00 retour.

Tama Tours

Tama Tours propose la seule excursion sur bateau semi-rigide à Moorea — confortablement assis à l'ombre. La famille native de Moorea accompagne les voyageurs in the lagoon pour une découverte of the marine life : tortues, requins, raies, poissons tropicaux colorés et tikis immergés (sculptures représentant les dieux polynésiens) visibles depuis la vitre.

Those who wish to snorkel can do so at each stop. Lunch is served on a private island accessible only through this tour — an exclusive access that guests consistently highlight in reviews. "Nico (guide) et le capitaine Manu étaient très attentionnés et guided us to turtles, sharks, fish and coral. La visite était vraiment bien organisée." Book an average of 62 days ahead according to Viator.

Corallina Tours

Corallina Tours est une référence parmi les excursionnistes de Moorea — one of the most established and best-rated operators on the island. The tour stands out for its high-quality, well-structured programme: departure in search of spinner dolphins in Opunohu Bay, puis trois arrêts snorkeling soigneusement choisis — rays and sharks sur un sandbank peu profond, drift snorkeling dans le canyon de corail (dérive guidée par le courant), et coral garden entre les plus beaux motus of the island.

The experience ends with a fresh fruit and drinks stop before heading back. Hotel pick-up included. Full refund up to 48h before departure. Disponible uniquement de novembre à juillet.

Alex Lagoon Tours Moorea

Alex Lagoon Tours is the definition of an intimate lagoon experience. Alex — guide natif de Moorea — limite strictement ses sorties à 6 personnes maximum. The result: a semi-private experience where Alex tailors the entire tour to the group's profile, à la météo et à ses previous day's observations. His tagline is "4 hours ofe bonheur" — et les centaines d'avis Viator reviews confirm this is literally what guests experience.

The tour covers 4 spots en variant les formats : snorkeling en remorque (tow snorkeling) with turtles and stingrays, shark interaction, snorkeling guidé dans le coral garden, snorkeling libre à l'arête du récif. Alex makes a point of arriving ahead of other groups for quieter spots. Il parle un excellent anglais. As a bonus: a rum cocktail and coconut slices at the end. "This tour exceeded our expectations! For around $114 per person, Alex offers incredible value", résume un avis représentatif.

Voila Moorea

Voila Moorea propose une half-day catamaran tour on the lagoon, with Jade and Max comme hôtes. The tour includes plusieurs arrêts snorkeling : coral garden, stingrays et blacktip reef sharks, découverte du tiki immergé in the lagoon — une curiosité unique à Moorea. Guest reviews are outstanding: the captain is described as "expert and very attentive, accommodating to the different needs of the crew, especially young children". The experience is completely pressure-free.

Minimum 4 participants required. Hotel pick-up available as an option (4,000 to 7,000 XPF depending on location, to arrange directly with the captain after booking). Free cancellation or rescheduling in case of bad weather.

Moorea Reef Adventure (Moorea Water Games)

Moorea Reef Adventure est la version "sea scooter" proposée par Moorea Water Games depuis le Sofitel Kia Ora Moorea Beach Resort. Le concept : snorkeler propulsé par un scooter sous-marin Seadoo (up to 7 km/h) across 2 lagoon spots. Un divemaster guide le groupe et assure la sécurité. The activity covers a coral garden and a ray/turtle spot. The 67 Viator reviews are unanimous: "Five Star Experience!!!", "Nico and his pilot are professional, fun and very attentive to guest safety", "Never seen anything like it in 30 years of holidays".

La formule "Reef Adventure" est plus courte que les excursions classiques (~1h30) mais propose quelque chose de radicalement différent — ideal as a complement to a traditional lagoon tour, or for travelerurs ayant peu de temps. Meeting point at 2pm at the Sofitel's water sports centre (free parking inside the resort). Professional video available for purchase.

Enjoy Boat Tours Moorea

Enjoy Boat Tours Moorea a été fondée en 2018 par Amo Paheo, natif of the island — après 11 ans passés dans le tourisme au sein de plusieurs compagnies. A human-scale structure: 10 people maximum, certified local professional guides and captains, with a genuine passion for sharing Moorea's culture and marine life. L'équipe (with Tamati and Albert frequently mentioned in reviews) is described as "caring, very knowledgeable and clearly very proud of the island".

The full-day circuit covers all the classics — stingrays, tortues, blacktip reef sharks — mais avec une spécialité : la sortie à l'extérieur of the lagoon où les lemon sharks sont présents. "We spent an incredible day swimming with sharks (including a lemon shark) inside and outside the lagoon, with stingrays too." Motu picnic included. The team also offers whale watching tours (July–November) and sunset cruises.
