Activity description

Go on a unique snorkeling trip in Tahiti with the help of a sea scooter to discover the Polynesian underwater biodiversity!

If you can swim, snorkeling is a must-do activity in Tahiti! With its beautiful lagoon and incredible underwater sites, this Polynesian island allows you to discover a whole aquatic world that you will not see anywhere else. That's why ATAE Safari Ocean invites you to take part in one of their snorkeling trips from Punaauia to fully enjoy the underwater environment of Tahiti! You will have the pleasure to do this trip with an underwater scooter, a unique way to move underwater with agility and without much effort.

Tahitian waters are full of treasures, and ATAE Safari Ocean's team of passionate guides offers 3 different excursions to meet everyone's desires, in small groups of up to 7 people maximum for more comfort:

Snorkeling excursion Lagoon Discovery (2h) - Discovery of the lagoon of Tahiti

You will swim with the help of your fins, mask, snorkel and sea scooter on the Aquarium site, a snorkeling site that lives up to its name: between multicolored tropical fish, coral garden and ship and plane wrecks under a multitude of shades of blue, your eyes will remain amazed by this magnificent aquatic spectacle!

Reef Adventure Excursion (2h) - Discovery of turtles, rays and sharks of Tahiti

This excursion outside the lagoon on the site called "La Source" will allow you to meet marine animals emblematic of Polynesian waters: turtles, eagle rays and reef sharks will surely cross your path, as well as a multitude of tropical fish and other amazing aquatic species!

Safari Excursion (4h) - Discovering the best snorkeling sites in Tahiti

If you're looking for discovery and adventure, this is the most complete snorkeling tour you'll find: you'll swim with your sea scooter not only at the Aquarium and "La Source" sites, but also at two other sites rich in discoveries, the "White Valley" and "Mount Rae Rae"!

Moreover, if you are lucky, you may even see dolphins from the boat, or even whales during the season from August to November. You will have experienced a very complete and exceptional snorkeling trip in Tahiti!

Hicimos buceo y vimos rayas, tortugas, algunos tiburones. Buceamos en varios lugares con diferentes tipos de aguas pero siempre con alguna profundidad. Super-recomendable experiencia para cualquier edad!

Our snorkel was great- in the deeper waters, saw sharks, rays and turtles! We saw my even more rays on the second spot and enjoyed wonderful calm waters the last spot for a fun viewing of a sunken ship & plane! It was a great experience overall, I’d highly recommend it!
