Relaxed, safe and enjoyable trip. Good boat and captain. Beautiful sea life, calm water. Plenty of time to swim

The tour was cancelled on the spot because of rain. However, we were able to join a cruise ship excursion that was very similar, and departed about 15 minutes later.
Response from Host, Jul 2025
We’re truly sorry the tour was cancelled, but as you saw, it rained throughout the entire day. It’s actually very rare for us to cancel an excursion, but in this case, the weather conditions simply didn’t allow us to offer a safe and enjoyable experience.
That said, we’re glad you were still able to join a similar tour through your cruise ship despite the circumstances.

We had a great time snorkeling! Transportation was very simple for someone who did not have a car. The tour guides were very knowledgeable and made us feel safe and comfortable the entire time. We even got lucky and got to see spinner dolphins! The fruit and punch at the end of the experience was a plus as well.

We had an awesome experience and the guides were lovely. We took our son (age 12) and he loved it. We saw countless colorful fish in addition to sharks, stingrays, and sea turtles. We always felt safe and cared for and were given clear instruction to protect us and the wildlife. Would recommend without hesitation!
Bethany_C, Jun 2025
Incredible day! Got to see dolphins, sting rays, sharks, turtles and so many fish. This was a fantastic tour and 10/10 would do it again.

Fantastic experience! Beautiful wildlife, black tip reef sharks, friendly stingrays, eagle rays and a few turtles!! Great tour with friendly guides and helpful communication. One of the best shark, rays, and snorkeling excursions on Moorea!

My family of 3 had the best time! We enjoyed every minute from the moment they picked us up from our hotel. We stopped at 3 spots during our snorkeling trip and we saw an amazing variety of fish, including a snorkeling stop with Reef sharks and sting rays. The 2 person crew was friendly, knowledgeable and showed concern for our safety and the environment. We ended with some delicious fresh fruit and drinks.

Well worth the $$. Swam with stingrays and sharks, saw numerous sea turtles and thousands of tropical fish. Crew was knowledgeable and professional. One of the highlights of our cruise.
Justin_M, May 2025
Coralina tours did a great job with very personal service on a boat of 10 to 12, captain was comowtent, capable, and fun and Franchesca also did a great job walking through the history and geography of Moorea. We especially liked to the size of the boat, smaller and more personable versus the much bigger tours of sixty to a hundred people.

The staff was very nice, I was picked up on time with a smile. This was the highlight of my trip. Despite the rain, we were able to see the sharks, dolphins, sting rays, and many other fish. I even saw a puffer fish which the guide said is super rare for them. Charly helps you if you aren't a good swimmer and provides historical and informational talk throughout the tour.

Wonderful tour with dolphins, sharks, sting rays and turtles. Also great cultural experience while snorkeling underwater art items. Very pleasant crew. Less good attracting sharks and rays with bait.
Kathleen_M, Apr 2025
Outstanding experience! Best snorkeling of our trip. Excellent guide and Captain. Swam with rays, turtles and sharks.
James_L, Apr 2025
Great for adults and kids. Saw lots of fish, sea turtles, reef sharks and strong rays. The guide (Tama) was excellent and also played some terrific Tahitian music on the Ukelele. Great views of the island of Mo’orea as well.

Bring a towel, rain doesn’t stop the fun. You’re already getting wet anyway! Tour guides are awesome, shout out to Maui (sp?) and Francesca for the great info provided. We had a blast seeing stingrays, sharks, and turtles!
Alison_M, Feb 2025
This tour was just as described! The tour guides were great and very knowledgable! We saw rays,sharks, turtles and beautiful fish! It was a perfect day! The waters are really indescribable you must see! Great tour!
Samantha_H, Feb 2025
Great guides and awesome sea life to be seen! Not too long of a day either which was the perfect amount of time in the sun. Highly recommend!
Michael_F, Dec 2024
Shark and Ray beach was awesome! Captain and Ivy were very solicitous and made the trip fun. We also got to see Spinner Dolphins and a lone turtle. Great idea to see the island from a boat, would definitely recommend!
ROBERT_L, May 2024
This was a great trip. These guys love what they do, providing an informative, educational and fun trip. They took us to 5 different spots which provided a varied experience. Brilliant!

Maui and T are great guides they took care of all of the tour participants needs regardless of their prior experience. This was a once in a lifetime experience swimming with sharks, rays and other marine life. We visited several locations and enjoyed all of them.
Jonathan_T, Apr 2024
Everything was fantastic with Corallina Tours. Communication was excellent. Messages were always answered. Messaged the day prior to confirm pickup arrangements. Extremely friendly, knowledgeable and caring captains! They made sure everyone, from children to adults, non-swimmers to the most experienced were safe and comfortable. Saw lots of amazing wildlife. Serenaded on the way back! Absolutely amazing. Our best snorkeling tour in French Polynesia!
Williamson_K, Mar 2024
Best snorkeling. Beautiful fish, rays, and blacktip sharks. We went to three different locations. First was a sandbar with few fish, but stingrays and blacktips were everywhere. Next we drifted over deeper coral with sea turtles and eagle rays. And finally we stopped at a coral garden with coral and more larger and colorful fish than we’ve seen anywhere else. It was wonderful. Props to Vai and Maui as well.
Colleen_L, Jan 2024
Maui arranged an awesome trip! We saw many dolphins swimming right around the boat and jumping. We then went to three different snorkeling sites. One with stingrays and sharks, another with turtles and the last one a little bit of everything. On top of a perfect day they provided a choice of rum punch, beer, soda and water as well as the most delicious local fruit! So worth it!
MD_S, Jul 2023
A great day on the water with friendly, helpful and informative staff.
It was great to get close to the stingrays and sharks, see the turtles and explore the coral garden and fish.
The water was so clear and the views of the island were stunning from the water.

What a great way to spend a few hours. The gorgeous water was so clear. Took us to a place for snorkeling that was only about waist deep and the friendly sharks and rays swam up to us looking for food. One of our hosts fed them so we were able to touch them. The boat stopped at a cute hut/restaurant and we ate delicious food. Would definitely recommend this tour.

I hope that the "real" (classic) Paradise is as good as Moorea.
The tour took about 6 hours, just enough to get a bit of everything: great views, awesome waters, good food on the motu, nice people.
Rene_B, Jun 2025
Super Tour and the guides have provided a lot of interesting explanations. Not to be missed when you are in Moorea. Seeing sharks, rays and turtles so close is just incredible!

Sehr schöne Tour mit dem klassischen Stopp an der Sandbank, um dann ausgiebig mit (kleinen) Riffhaien und Rochen zu schnorcheln. Auch der musikalische Abschluss der Tour war sehr unterhaltsam - eine rundum empfehlenswerte Tour.
