    A wonderful experience.

    Wonderful experience. Elvis picked a few of us up from our accommodations, he’s a sweet man who enjoys cooking and singing. Nolti was our guide for the day, he was knowledgeable, comedic, and accommodating. Great opportunity to see the topography of the island from the ocean. Enjoyed hearing about the history behind the two bays. Was sad to see how lackluster the coral is because of the bleaching however I was pleased to experience sea turtles, black reef tip sharks, stingrays and all the other sea life Moorea had to offer. I enjoyed learning how to properly open a coconut and how to make passion cru. The demo on various ways on how to wear pāreu was eye opening. Learning how to making a hat out of palm leaves was pretty cool as well. The food on the Motu was pretty tasty (thanks Elvis for cooking). We had a great group of people on our excursion, from various different countries, and it was nice to share our experiences with one another. Thank you for a memorable experience. I highly suggest Moorea Miti Tours for the snorkeling and lunch tour, I don’t think you’ll be disappointed.

    Great day

    It was a great day out, like most things improvements can be made, however one has to cater for a whole range of people especially with food, would I do this again, no. Would I suggest that you do it then it’s an absolute Yes

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your honest feedback! We’re delighted to hear you had a great day with us and your Captain Nolte. We truly appreciate your recommendation. 🌺 Mauruuru roa

    Moorea 6-Hour Snorkeling and Lunch Shared Tour: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Papeete.

    How much does Moorea 6-Hour Snorkeling and Lunch Shared Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $130 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Papeete usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Moorea 6-Hour Snorkeling and Lunch Shared Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Papeete is not rushed.

    Is Moorea 6-Hour Snorkeling and Lunch Shared Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 92 out of 100, which we label "90+ Club". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 1,921 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Papeete, and how flexible the cancellation terms are. Scoring 90 or above puts it in the Outty 90+ Club, the top tier of everything we rank.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Moorea 6-Hour Snorkeling and Lunch Shared Tour?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Moorea 6-Hour Snorkeling and Lunch Shared Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Moorea 6-Hour Snorkeling and Lunch Shared Tour?

    +

    Around 672 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Papeete can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Papeete and add a light layer if any part of the 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Moorea 6-Hour Snorkeling and Lunch Shared Tour start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Papeete within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Papeete?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Papeete experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include 5 Hours Tahiti Island Tour - West and East Coast - small group, Moorea 4WD Tour: Magic Mountain, Belvedere, Pineapple Road & More, Best Way to Interact with Ocean Wildlife with Lunch. 6H. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Papeete?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Papeete?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Moorea 6-Hour Snorkeling and Lunch Shared Tour?

    +

    Included: Hotel pickup and drop-off (Selected Hotels Only); Professional guide; Lunch; Beverages; and Use of masks and snorkels. Not included: Rain coat; and Fins. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Moorea 6-Hour Snorkeling and Lunch Shared Tour include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 18 listed pickup locations in and around Papeete. Be ready about 45 minutes before the start time.

    What languages is Moorea 6-Hour Snorkeling and Lunch Shared Tour offered in?

    +

    It is offered in English and French. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Moorea 6-Hour Snorkeling and Lunch Shared Tour?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    What happens to Moorea 6-Hour Snorkeling and Lunch Shared Tour if the weather is bad?

    +

    This experience depends on good weather. If it is canceled because of poor weather, you are offered a different date or a full refund.
