Half Day Snorkeling in Moorea
Description
After picking you up from your hotel, you will sail around Opunohu Bay in search of spinner dolphins. 1st stop is snorkeling with stingrays and blacktip sharks. This activity takes place on a shallow sandbank of the lagoon where you can stand as the water is only waist-chest high. 2nd stop is a drift snorkeling at the coral canyon where you can observe green turtles and white spotted eagle rays. This activity is a drift snorkel where you will be drifted by the current while snorkeling. It takes place in slightly deeper waters so we recommend that our customers know how to swim and use snorkeling equipment. However, if you are not very comfortable in the water you can stay and watch from the boat. (This activity may be suspended if the conditions are bad) 3rd snorkeling stop is at the coral garden between the two most beautiful motus off the island of Moorea, where you can swim and admire all kinds of multicolored fish. You will also enjoy a break with a drink and fresh fruit.

Great vibes with great positivity from the crew! Would do it again without a doubt! Small group and the team is very respectful of the wildlife :)
Our captain Motu and our guy Thomas were excellent, friendly, helpful, funny, informative, and made you feel very safe. It had to be the highlight of my trip.We saw dolphins, stingrays, manta, rays, turtles, sharks, and assortment of colorful fish, and three different snorkeling spots. It was an absolutely wonderful day and the guide in the captain made it perfect.
Expert and knowledgable guides. We had a great tour. One guide was a marine biologist and she was insightful about all the wildlife we could encounter including the coral and how it’s a living irganizium!
Excellent experience with a wonderful and informative crew! We had 3 snorkeling stops that were incredible! Swam with friendly stingrays and black tip sharks! The Marine Biologist was very informative and we learned a lot from her. They only take 12 passengers which was such a great way to tour the beautiful waters of Moorea! The tour was 3 hours long and they provided rum punch, juice and fresh fruit onboard. We highly recommend Corillina Tours in Moorea!
Great people many thanks for all of their help and knowledge
Great snorkeling tour! Everything was very well organized from start to finish. The guides were kind, careful, and very professional. The equipment was clean and high quality. Everything went as planned and we saw exactly what was promised. A great experience – highly recommended! 🌊🐠
Beautiful experience, even though the weather was not the best. Both the guide, Serena, and the Polynesian boat pilot were very skilled and very friendly. Recommended.
Awesome day snorkeling the reefs and waters around Moorea. Mata, Anna, & Matu were great guides and provided a safe/comfortable experience. Saw spinner dolphins, turtles, rays, sharks, and tons of fish. Having snorkeled only in the Caribbean before it was truly amazing to see. Definitely planning to come back for whale season!!
Knowledgeable and super friendly crew. When I realised the leaving point was a short ride away from where I would be, I contacted them by email to arrange a ride for the next day. They got straight back to me and picked me up on right on time the next morning. This was a great excursion by a great team, I saw dolphins, sharks, turtles, rays and of course lots of fish. Highly recommended, I gave 5 stars without hesitation.
An unforgettable memory!! The three snorkeling spots were all more beautiful than the last. We had the chance to swim with turtles, sharks and even rays in an absolutely incredible setting. The captain and guide, Mato and Tama, were exceptional! They made us live a unique moment while passionately sharing the history of the island and the different bays. After the last snorkeling session, we also enjoyed a delicious tray of fresh fruit accompanied by drinks (pineapple juice and punch), a real plus to finish the excursion. We also greatly appreciated their flexibility and kindness. Our initial excursion with another provider was cancelled the day before, I booked this activity at 2am for a departure at 8am... and they took the time to answer me in the middle of the night to make sure we had a means of transport. A truly attentive and professional service. I recommend this excursion 200%! Beautiful landscapes, preserved animals and incredible guides. An experience to do absolutely during your stay!!
