Temae (pass by)

Once leaving the Vaiare marina and leaving the coral reef behind us, we enter the Deep Blue, the turquoise shallows give way to a vivid cobalt depth. The shoreline of Temae Beach—white sand fringed with lush palms—appears on your way while cruising towards the Cook Bay.Spinner dolphins may join us, as they are known to leap in sync with boats or glide nearby.We may also experience the unforgettable encounters of migrating humpback whales on your way. From July to November, Moorea’s waters become a critical stop for those incredible whale mothers coming to give birth offshore.

Moorea

Along your way, depending on your desire and timing, we will be snorkeling at one of the Mooera sandbars. This experience is an unforgettable sensory escape—crystal-clear water, minimal effort, and an intimate glimpse into a vibrant underwater world.This isn't just snorkeling—it’s a tranquil communion with Moorea’s lagoon, where everything from the white sand to the rippling light feels in harmony. The scenes—rays drifting by, sharks passing near without aggression, fish scattering in color—create a profound sense of connection with the ocean’s calm wonders.

'Opunohu Bay (pass by)

Be ready to move through opal-blue waters, the warm sun glistening on the surface, birds calling softly. Towering green mountains rise sharply, shading parts of the bay in quiet majesty. Under the surface, vibrant reefs pulse with life. Along the shoreline, ancient marae whisper stories of Polynesian ancestors. Everywhere you look, it’s postcard scenery — serene, sacred, and wildly beautiful.
