Practical info
Equipment
Wear a swimsuit and secure footwear you don't mind getting soaked. Operators provide life jackets, but bring reef-safe sunscreen and UV-protective rash guards for sessions over 1 hour since sun exposure on the open lagoon is intense with no shade.
Getting there
Tours depart from three points across Moorea: Vai'are ferry dock (in front of Toa Moorea), PK.20 Opunohu Bay in Papeotai, and Pk 3.3 in Temae, all reachable by rental car or scooter from Moorea's main road after the 30-minute ferry crossing from Papeete.
