Half-Day Snorkeling Tour in Tahiti
Overview
Available languages
Mobile ticket
The day begins with the sighting of long-billed dolphins, who dance and twirl above the waves in a fascinating aerial ballet.
We will continue with a first snorkeling stop at the site of the Aquarium, an enchanted underwater world where plane and boat wrecks lie in silence, surrounded by clouds of tropical fish. A desk and a large coral heart add a magical touch to this magical decor.
Then head to the ocean to explore a spectacular site, where underwater freshwater springs spring and a multicolored coral garden flourishes. You will have the chance to swim alongside sea turtles, getting close to them in their natural habitat. However, this meeting remains subject to the presence of animals and cannot be guaranteed at every exit.
Enjoy a platter of local fruit and cold drinks at our last stop, for a gourmet break in the heart of the lagoon.

5.00Very laid back but interesting and well run. Wonderful dolphin sightings, and two good snorkel sites with turtles and white tipped sharks, in warm, clear waters.

4.00Overall it was smooth and I enjoyed. Advise down below. 1. Need a bottle of water not from big Jar!( holding a cup is uncomfortable in boat.) 2. I am usually not sensitive but It was not funny joke about Turtle soup(per captain name James). Do not assume every asian will be Chinese or eating Turtle soup! I am from San Francisco and I am a vegetarian. Otherwise I would give five stars.
Great snorkeling by Pontoon Boat

3.00The snorkeling was great - 2 sites. Lots of turtles at the reef, fish and coral. It is deep water. Would be a great dive location. Our pontoon boat was overcrowded 13 people with a maximum capacity of 12 per boat regulation. No safety information was provided(until I asked), no boat radio if needed. No room on boat to get yourself ready. They did provide all snorkel equipment and you must wear a life jacket! Fresh pineapple, bananas & grapefruit was provided along with glasses of water, juice or beer. Cost of excursion was expensive for what was provided. It took 45 minutes each way to the snorkeling site from the pier. My suggestion would be to limit it to 8 people.
Great excursion

5.00Super fun snorkeling experience with a great crew! Sham was knowledgeable and a lot of fun! We went to a couple of different snorkel stops and had a great time! Would recommend this excursion!
Good trip, but not accommodating to dietary restrictions

4.00Overall, the snorkeling was good and the guide was great. I would recommend this company, but read my last comment. The “picnic” was tuna ceviche, which my husband thought quite good. I contacted the company ahead of time to tell them that I did not eat seafood, and despite the company saying in their information that dietary restrictions should be given to them, nothing was substituted and I was left with pineapple only.
Hugely fun half day adventure

5.00Fun half day, friendly and helpful staff and incredible views. Went to 3 different locations from the southern part of the island to the seaport. Lunch was great! They even dropped us off at our hotel on the way home. Tell the taxi driver to drop you off at "Burger King near the taxi stand" and walk across the street.
