Snorkeling and Diving in Tahiti

Almost everything here happens inside the reef, and that is the reason the water is usually calm enough for a first snorkel. The lagoon between the shore and the breaking surf is shallow, sheltered and warm year round, which is why so many trips take beginners and non-swimmers. Outside the pass it is a different sport: the drop-offs are for certified divers, and the operators say so on the booking page rather than in the title.

Which trip suits whom?

The first thing that separates these trips is length. Tahiti’s small-group boats run 1.5 to 2 hours, with the Aquarium and wrecks outing from €82, while the half-day boats there take 4 hours. On Moorea the lagoon trips mostly last 3 to 4 hours, from €74, and a small-group tour can stretch to 6. Moorea also means a 30 to 50 minute ferry from Papeete, so count the crossing into your day.

Boat type decides the mood. A floating lounge or a shared lagoon boat suits families and groups where not everyone swims equally well. Small groups, some capped at a handful of guests, give couples and photographers room to stop where the fish are, and one Tahiti listing even includes photos. Sea scooters on Moorea let you glide over the reef instead of kicking across it, which helps when stamina is the limit.

Diving is a separate branch. The introductory dives last about 2 hours with an instructor and are meant for beginners, while the double dive is for certified divers and the freediving introduction takes 3 hours. If you get seasick, pick a short lagoon trip over a long one.

Check the inclusions on each card: drinks, fruit, lunch or photos differ, and prices are per person except the jet ski, which is per group.

Before you book: Tahiti and Moorea are volcanic islands with rivers, so visibility drops for a day or two after heavy rain, especially near river mouths on Tahiti. Moorea sites inside the lagoon recover fastest. Ask the operator on the morning of the trip rather than the week before.

Before you book

Questions travellers actually ask

Can I join a snorkeling trip if I am not a strong swimmer?

Many lagoon trips take beginners and non-swimmers, because the water inside the reef is shallow and sheltered. Check whether the listing mentions flotation equipment, and ask the operator what is provided before you book. Tell the guide when you board, too, so they know who needs a closer eye.

Do I need a licence to scuba dive here?

Not for an introductory dive. Two listings of about two hours, from €96 and from €134, are made for beginners with an instructor, and one of them states depths of 2 to 6 metres. The double dive, from €202, is for certified divers. Compare what each listing says about depth and level.

Will I really see turtles and sharks?

Listings name turtles, rays, blacktip reef sharks and sometimes dolphins, but these are wild animals and no trip can promise them. Moorea listings mostly mention rays and blacktip reef sharks, the Tahiti ones turtles and dolphins. Read the recent reviews and ask the operator what a typical outing looks like.
