When do you go, October?
Diana
Viator is a great way to go. Less expensive than the ships tours.
Ronda
Diana Thank you
Yes, I almost always book privately. Just wondering what specific tours people might suggest.

Chris Thank you! I checked their website and unfortunately they are booked for the 6 hour tour the day we are there. Looks like a good one though

I know there's some other highly rated tours that do basically the same type of tour. I think they all go to the same spot where you can swim with the rays and the harmless reef sharks and view some submerged Tahitian statues.
The Voila Moorea sunset tour on a catamaran was also very good. Leo is a great captain. The group size is small. But I assumed you might be able to get a great view from your cruise ship
