Polynesian waters, with temperatures varying between 25 and 29°C throughout the year, are renowned for their astonishing fauna and flora both in the lagoon and offshore, making any underwater activity a must, no matter which island you are on. But if scuba diving is still too impressive for you to admire the underwater world with complete peace of mind, then this guided ocean snorkelling excursion in Tahiti is for you! On board a small, comfortable boat with benches, cushions, storage space, shaded area, etc., you will enjoy a delightful adventure between the island's lagoon and the deep blue Polynesian sea, while learning about the importance of respecting the environment.
Accompanied by specialist naturalist guides, you will leave the Marina Taina in Puna'auia for a 4-hour ocean snorkelling excursion in Tahiti. Throughout the experience, you will have the pleasure of discovering the underwater flora and fauna of French Polynesia (tropical fish, sea turtles, coral reefs, reef sharks, leopard rays, etc.) using fins, mask and snorkel at various snorkelling sites (2 to 3 sites, 1 in the lagoon, then 1 in the ocean) with a maximum depth of 30 metres. Your guides will get into the water with you to ensure your safety, but also to show you the superb treasures not to be missed underwater! They will also give you lots of important information about the underwater life on board the boat.
The luckiest among you may even encounter dolphins, or even whales in season, as you sail between sites, so don't miss this guided ocean snorkelling excursion in Tahiti for an adventure rich in discovery!
