Moorea by Catamaran

Cruise through a crystal-clear lagoon just offshore, stopping to snorkel and swim before continuing into the open sea where the views are even more spectacular.

After departing from the pier in a sleek catamaran, you will settle in for a relaxing and immensely scenic cruise through a nearby lagoon. The 65-foot Ohana is the largest and fastest catamaran in its class and offers plenty of shaded seating under its canopy. For those who prefer to bask in the sun, there is comfortable mesh netting on the bow. With its shallow draft, the catamaran is ideal for cruising the lagoon and into areas other boats simply can’t reach. The waters here are translucent, but for an even closer look at the wonders below, you will navigate until you reach your swim stop. Masks and snorkels will be provided for your exploration; the sandy area boasts tiki carved stones which are worth a visit. Access to the water is via a large, easy step ladder and will make getting in and out of the water an easy task for all.

The sights are just as magnificent above the surface, as heart-shaped mountainous Moorea is lined with pristine beaches backed by forests of lush palms. In many ways, the landscape hasn’t changed dramatically since Captain James Cook and Captain Samuel Wallis explored here in the 18th century.

In time, you will sail out of the lagoon and into the open sea. As you sail back to the pier, enjoy some refreshments and be sure to keep an eye out for frolicking spinner dolphins.
