Moorea - Activities

Land Activities

With its densely-vegetated peaks, deep valleys, transculent lagoons and historic sites, Moorea is an especially good place to enjoy land activities such as hiking and horseback riding. Most activities can be arranged by hotels. 

Hiking Tours

Lace up your walking shoes and explore Moorea's tropical, mountainous terrain. Guided hikes provide visitors with an aerobically-sound way of discovering the island. Tour the rainforest at Le Col des Trois Cocotiers (Pass of the Three Coconut Trees), Vaiare, Paopao, Afareaitu Waterfall and majestic Mount Rotui.

Horseback Excursion

Many of Moorea's natural wonders can be enjoyed on horseback. Ride through the magnificent Teavaro Valley, or take a guided excursion along the island's white sand beaches. Visitors can even snap pictures of Moorea's incredible vistas. 

Water Activities

Enveloped by a lagoon and rimmed by the expansive blue sea, Moorea is an aquatic paradise. All the more reason for you to explore the many water activities available on the island.

Paddle an outrigger canoe, charter a sailboat or embark on a deep-sea fishing expedition. If you've got the time, we've got the activity. Most activities can be arranged by hotels. 

Deep Sea Fishing

Witness the undersea wonders of Moorea with a deep-sea fishing expedition. Half- and full-day excursions are available, as well as trolling off-shore Moorea. Picnic and drinks are often included in expedition deals. 

Dolphin Quest

Get ready for a quest of discovery that spotlights Polynesian culture and some of Moorea’s fabulous natural treasures. Meet stingrays and exotic tropical fish. Learn dolphin training techniques, and participate in the daily care of these amazing animals. 

Lagoon Excursions

The opalescent lagoons surrounding Moorea are perfect for jet-skiing, scuba diving, snorkeling, swimming, water skiing and windsurfing. Visitors can hand-feed fish from a glass-bottom boat, or ride an outrigger canoe or catamaran. 

Moorea Lagoon Beach, Temae Beach & Village Faimano

These three beaches offer exquisite vistas, plenty of swaying palms, gentle surf and prime swimming and snorkeling. Need we say more?

Parasailing

Moorea has always provided visitors with a natural high, but parasailing lets you soar to literal new heights. Pulled by a 28 ft. boat, you can ascend as high as 300 feet over Moorea's glistening lagoon.

Sailboat

Charter a boat and sail the translucent bays and lagoons around Moorea. Visitors can swim or snorkel in the island's protected waters. Outer island charters and sunset cruises are also available.

Scuba Diving

Some of the finest diving in the world can be found at Moorea--year round. The abundant flora and fauna include reef sharks, moray eels, huge Napoleon wrasses and triggerfish. And with more than 20 dive sites from which to choose, divers of any experience level can find a perfect spot.

Snorkeling

Because of the lack of strong currents, the waters off Moorea are superb for both experienced and beginning snorkelers. The most popular underwater activities here are fish and shark feeding.

Submarine Excursions

Indulge your inner explorer and take in a Moorean submarine excursion. Plunge as low as 200 feet deep and marvel at the island's undersea flora and fauna. 

Tropical Aquarium Center

This highly-rated aquarium features a rainbow-assortment of tropical fish. Guests can also visit a pearl farm along the lagoon.
