Overview
Explore our lagoons and help us save the reef.
Start the day learning about the current situation of the tahitian coral reefs with our passionate marine biologist and guide.
Follow Geneviève on a snorkeling session and admire our marine biodiversity until you reach Nani’s Coral Garden: this is your chance to take action and help us save the reef! Choose a broken piece of coral and plant it back into the lagoon of Moorea. Give it a name and receive an adoption certificate for you to bring home! We’ll keep an eye on this coral garden and update you regularly on its growth.
Back on the beach, help us cook a delicious lunch by lcooking a fish like a real polynesian. Enjoy a locally-sourced and seasonal lunch overlooking the lagoon of Moorea. As islanders, the sea is very important to us, allowing us to eat, breathe, travel, live.
Spend the rest of the day discovering the polynesian myths and legends about the ocean and how we’ve always lived with it. Meet Jordan and help him build a va’a – a traditional pirogue -. Then, to learn how to navigate like the Polynesian explorers !
*Please note that 18 years-old children and over only can join the experience.
