The catamaran slips away from Vaiare marina, engines softening as the reef edge falls away and the lagoon opens into cobalt depth. Warm wind pushes the canopy, palms on Temae Beach shrink into a line of green, and the island’s jagged volcanic ridges rear up on the horizon. On a private 50‑foot vessel for up to 14 passengers, the day is yours to shape — snorkeling at sandy motu, slow cruising through Cook’s and Opunohu bays, and a waterside stop for lunch where you can literally dip your toes while you eat.

Moorea’s sharp volcanic peaks are the visible face of an island carved by eruptions and erosion; beneath the surface, coral gardens and sandbars form the lagoon that sustains both fish and local fishing traditions. You’ll pass ancient marae sites on the shoreline—quiet reminders of Polynesian navigation and community life—while guides point out seasonal whale calving grounds (July–November) and regular dolphin play.
Practically, expect 6–7 hours aboard with a captain, deckhand and hostess. The boat supplies water, soda, snacks, coffee and snorkeling gear, but bring your own mask if you prefer a custom fit. Plan for sun exposure, salt spray and uneven decking; motion from open‑ocean stretches can be noticeable. Timing matters: mid‑day light is best for snorkeling; late afternoon offers warmer, calmer water and classic low‑angle light for photos.
This cruise blends relaxed luxury with hands‑on marine moments—ideal for swimmers and curious travelers who want ocean access without the logistics of launching or island driving.
The standard private cruise runs about 6–7 hours (360–420 minutes), with flexibility to adjust activities on request.
Yes — snorkel equipment is provided, plus bottled water, snacks and soft drinks; you may bring personal gear if preferred.
Spinner dolphins are commonly seen year‑round; humpback whales may be encountered from July to November during the breeding season but sightings cannot be guaranteed.
