Leisure Activities
Snorkeling: the beach is right in front of the villas and opens on the calm lagoon waters. 20 meters away (60 ft), there is a drop off, home of many sea species, which lets you snorkel in full safety among the fishes only a few dozen yards from the Villas. There are no big waves because this place is very protected in the bay, so this is excellent for snorkeling and for children!
Diving: There are many scuba diving centers in Moorea which is famous for its diving spots. See our partner's web site Moorea Blue Diving.
Excursions on the Lagoon: Whether a boat ride to tour the island or an encounter with whales and dolphins, or water skiing at sunset, many leisure providers are at your service.
Power Boats: There is a small 6HP boat at the property for rent without a license, which is ideal to discover the lagoon or to go to the motus (islets with cristal waters). Book it in advance to ensure availability!
Surfing: The Opunohu Pass lets you surf on small waves. Watch out, however, for currents. The easiest and safest way is to do it with a provider who will take you to the best spots with his boat.
