THE ADVENTURE COLLECTIVE® · Independent discovery and booking for outdoor travel

Read the full experience

You step onto a small private motu as the lagoon lays out, impossible and blue, between you and the jagged silhouette of Mt. Otemanu. A certified instructor guides a 60-minute yoga practice on warm sand beneath a sun top, breathwork tuned to the hush of waves; afterwards the water dares you to jump in and follow reef trails alive with color.

Adventure tips

Use reef-safe sunscreenThe lagoon’s coral is sensitive—choose reef-safe sunscreen and apply before boarding to protect marine life.

Bring motion-sickness meds if neededThe ride to some motus can be choppy; take preventative medication if you’re prone to seasickness.

Small-group etiquetteTours are private and limited to four; keep noise low and follow the guide’s instructions to protect the reef and wildlife.

Timing for calmer waterBook early morning or late afternoon for gentler currents and clearer snorkeling visibility.

Recommended gear

Reef-safe sunscreen: Protects your skin and the lagoon’s corals—apply before boarding.
Swimwear and quick-dry towel: You’ll transition from yoga to snorkeling; quick-dry clothing speeds the return trip.
Light sun hat or cap: Shields your face during on-deck transfers and the yoga session.
Water shoes or reef booties: Useful for scrambling onto motu sandbars and protecting feet on coral flats.
