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.

5.00We had an amazing time with Sham on the snorkel tour, seeing many turtles and some sting rays. The weather was a bit nautical that day so Sham used his local knowledge to find the best spot where we could swim safely. Sham also taught us a lot about Polynesian culture, and made the best Poisson Cru we had during our 2 week stay. We won't mention the secret ingredient, so you'll have to find out for yourselves!
Fish, Turtles, and Heart of Tahiti!

5.00The 2 man crew were amazing! It was a small boat and it was a rainy day, but they made it a very enjoyable experience! We saw lots of fish and turtles, a plane wreck, and the heart of Tahiti. They ended the day with drinks and fresh fruit.
Amazing

3.00Very friendly guide. I don't think I see anything with our service provider, but I think it's an excursion we can do without. 3 stops: - 3 shipwrecks: no interest, no fish at the wrecks, there are a little further but nothing crazy -turtle sanctuary: only good thing, you swim in the middle of 4 or 5 turtles, it's nice - sandbank with pastenague rays: I thought I had water up to that size but we just had foot and no rays, you have to go swimming near the boats that party all day hoping that they feed the rays to hope to see some. In short: pass your way and do something better on the islands
SPECTACULAR TOUR That all should be able to experience with adventure, laughter, and most importantly an AMAZING AMAZING

5.00From the operator answering all our questions to walking us through making the reservation to setting up pick up point to giving us discount - AWESOME JOB!!! The driver “Sham” of the boat was friendly, funny, and very informative!!! The assistant diver “Herehia” assisted my girlfriend who didn’t know how to swim and got her snorkeling in no time!!! Great job by the whole crew and the drinks and fruits that were provided hit the spot!!! Got to see big sting rays underneath us with in 3 feet. Amazing tour!!!

3.00This review is in comparison to other trips throughout the Caribbean and Virgin Islands. The boat was quite small. All prior trips were on rather spacious catamarans. I understand we are not in Kansas anymore but no picture of the boat on the listing. To my disappointment the snorkeling spots were quite average in terms of coral and marine life although both were present. I expected more pristine natural resources. The captain was pleasant and helpful however he brought along his 2-3 year old daughter which seemed inappropriate. The snorkeling equipment was not well maintained with visible mold growth on snorkel mouthpieces and leaky masks. Beverages were available but sparse. Snack of fresh fruit was fine. Overall, a very average experience especially for the price.
