Scenic Lagoon Catamaran Cruise and Motu Picnic
Escape to the picturesque paradise of Moorea with our tour, a half-day adventure that combines a scenic lagoon cruise with a leisurely picnic on a picturesque motu in Moorea, French Polynesia. Experience the enchantment of the island's waters, wildlife, and traditional culture in a single outing, perfect for anyone looking to immerse themselves in tropical serenity.
Your journey begins at the Moorea cruise port, where you'll board a covered catamaran destined for the tranquil waters of Cook’s and Opunohu Bays. As you glide across Moorea's lagoon, your captain will enlighten you with stories of local legends and insights into the island's diverse flora and fauna. Highlights include an exhilarating shark watching and stingray feeding experience, allowing you to witness these magnificent creatures up close in their natural habitat.
Next, the tour takes you to Fareone motu, a secluded islet surrounded by crystal-clear waters and vibrant coral reefs. Here, you'll spend three hours enjoying various activities. Swim in the lagoon, relax on the sandy beach, or participate in a ray feeding session, all while soaking up the sun on this idyllic island retreat.
A highlight of the excursion is the Tahitian-style luncheon buffet served on the motu. Delight in a spread of grilled fish and chicken, fresh island fruits, and salads, complemented by local beverages like rum punch and soft drinks. Engage with the local culture as you learn to prepare poisson cru, a traditional dish marinated in lime and coconut milk, witness a coconut husking demonstration, and enjoy a Pareo show with an introduction to Tahitian dancing.
This tour not only offers a relaxing day away from the bustling port but also provides a deep dive into the cultural and natural beauty of French Polynesia. Return to your ship with memories of the soothing sounds of traditional music, the taste of fresh, exotic flavors, and the sights of Moorea’s stunning lagoon landscape.
