More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step off the reef into a still morning where the lagoon seems to hold its breath — turquoise glass stretching toward the jagged volcanic spine of Moorea. A local fisherman rigs lines with practiced hands, and the boat slips away from the shore as the coral flats and motus recede into the horizon.

Use reef-safe sunscreen
Non-chemical sunscreens protect the coral and are often requested by guides; apply before boarding.
Bring motion-sickness remedies
The lagoon is usually calm but channels can be choppy—take preventative measures if you’re prone to seasickness.
Wear non-slip deck shoes
Traction helps when the boat or motu surfaces are wet and when boarding from shallow water.
Hydrate and cover up
Tropical sun plus reflected light off the lagoon dries you out quickly—drink water and use a hat and UV shirt.
