Overview

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

(8)

Q: Will I get seasick on Half-Day Snorkeling Tour in Tahiti?

A: If you have any doubts about becoming seasick on the water, we recommend taking a Dramamine® Motion Sickness Relief tablet the night before your trip. Some people recommend taking it the night before your cruise and then again that morning so you will not feel so drowsy. Read more Feb 2023

Cool Destinations wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That's why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.

On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You'll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

If you see a Badge of Excellence label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Cool Destinations over a 12-month period.

The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
