Moorea (Opunohu Bay), French Polynesia

Crystal Waters of a Tahitian Motu

Cruise the Lagoon and Savor a Beachside Lunch Relax on the shores of one of Moorea’s coral islets and take a dip in the turquoise waters among the stingrays. Climb on board your motorized vessel and set sail across the lagoon, following in the footsteps of 18th-century explorers who first discovered these lands. During your cruise, admire the scenery as your captain regales you with stories of local legends. Your guide will attract schools of stingrays with morsels of fish to feed on. As you marvel at these gentle, graceful creatures, you are welcome to reach out and touch them. Your captain will then moor at a sandy islet where you can step off your boat into the crystal-clear waters. As your crew prepares a delicious buffet-style lunch, enjoy a swim or don your snorkel and mask to explore the local marine life. Then sit down to a tasty lunch, accompanied by soft island music and a coconut demonstration. * Moderate - Walking portions may be long and somewhat challenging with occasional step-ups, stairs and inclines. Total time walking or standing normally ranges from 1.5 to 3 hours.
