This list is for the slow boats: catamaran sails, lagoon cruises, and full-day outings that end with a motu picnic. A motu is a reef islet, and lunch on one with your feet in the water is the entire point. The Tahiti ferry takes about 30 minutes, so several of these work as Papeete day trips.
Immerse yourself in the captivating beauty of Moorea with Franckyfranck Tours' half-day adventures, where hidden treasures await and unforgettable experiences abound.
