Eco Snorkel Cruise with Sharks and Stingrays

About This Experience

Moana Adventure Tours runs this eco snorkel cruise in about 2.5 hours. After pickup from your accommodation, the first and longest stop, about 100 minutes, is in the clear lagoon, where you stand in knee-deep water on white sand among stingrays and blacktip reef sharks, then swim with the tropical fish and look for other rays. The second stop is the Coral Garden, around 30 minutes of snorkeling in clear, calm water among reef fish.

The operator says it does not feed the sharks or rays and works to protect the coral, and the guide talks about the reef and how Polynesian culture and legends connect to the lagoon. Depending on the weather and season you may visit up to three areas, and turtles, dolphins, whales, leopard rays or mantas are possible along the way. Water and a mask and snorkel are provided, though the operator suggests bringing your own; bring your own towel. Guests mention a short, focused trip with sharks and rays close by, a strong coral garden stop and guides who help weaker swimmers.

It suits travellers with limited time, families with children aged 4 and up, and anyone who wants to see sharks and rays without a feeding show. The closest alternative on this site is Rohivai's half-day lagoon safari on GetYourGuide, also from $113 per person, which runs 4 hours and includes a towel, fins, fruit and drinks.

In September 2026 this trip costs from $113 per person on Viator, rated 4.8 from 598 reviews. The same Moana trip is sold on GetYourGuide from $108 per person, rated 4.7 from 187 reviews there. Check the live price for your date on both. Gratuities are not included, and free cancellation applies up to 24 hours before departure.
