⭐ Rated 4.7/5 · from more than 2,600 verified traveller reviews
This is where the two islands differ most. Inside the lagoon a boat is a shuttle between snorkel stops, calm enough for small children. The crossings — Tetiaroa, the atoll roughly 50 kilometres north, or the channel over to Moorea — are open ocean, and the swell is real. Sailing catamarans handle it better than small open boats, which is worth knowing before you book the cheapest option for a full-day trip.

Check availability →The boat tours on this page fall into a few kinds, and the length of the trip tells you most of it. Sunset cruises take two to four hours and leave from Papeete or Moorea, usually with an aperitif or tapas on board. Lagoon cruises with snorkelling run three to five and a half hours, mostly around Moorea; one is on a glass-bottom boat, another ends with a cooking class on a motu. Whale-swimming trips take about four hours. Tetiaroa is the one real full-day boat trip, ten to eleven hours, from €193 per person.
Families with small children are well served by a lagoon cruise or the glass-bottom boat: the water inside the reef is calm and nobody sits through a long crossing. Couples tend to pick a sunset cruise, and here the pricing changes. Private options are priced per group, for example from €600 for two on a Moorea catamaran, while shared cruises are priced per person.
When you book, look at three things: whether the boat is shared or private, how many guests it takes (one Moorea sunset catamaran is limited to six), and what the price actually includes. Mornings suit Tetiaroa and snorkelling; for a Moorea sunset, remember the last ferry back leaves around 17:40.
Before you book: Tetiaroa is a private atoll: day trips land where they are permitted to and not everywhere. If the crossing looks long on the schedule, it is, so a morning departure and a light breakfast do more for the day than any remedy. Medication questions belong with a pharmacy before you travel.
Before you book
The glass-bottom boat, the scenic lagoon cruise, the snorkelling and cooking-class cruise, the whale-swimming trips and two sunset catamarans start on Moorea. The sunset cruises from Papeete, the lagoon cruise with snacks and the Teahupoʻo taxi-boat day start on Tahiti, and Tetiaroa is a crossing from Tahiti. The title on the card names the island.
The crossing to Tetiaroa is open ocean and the swell is real, so this is the trip where it matters. A sailing catamaran copes better than a small open boat. Leave in the morning and eat lightly. If you are worried, pick a lagoon cruise instead, and ask a pharmacy about medication before you travel.
The Tetiaroa trips. The sailing catamaran day takes 11 hours from €193 per person and the premium cruise 10 hours from €217. A taxi-boat island tour to Teahupoʻo runs 8 hours, priced for up to two people. Everything else on this page, from lagoon cruises to sunset sailings, takes between two and five and a half hours.
