CORKEY08 Posted August 18, 2015 #1 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Can anyone tell me things to do in Moorea and if the tour operators will pick you up at the tender dock. Also are any excursions available at the dock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisefun27 Posted August 19, 2015 #2 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Do a a ATV tour. They are great fun and you get to see the whole island. ATV Moorea does a great job and will take your picture at more of the stops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KAYTWO Posted October 26, 2015 #3 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Have to agree, we had an awesome day on the ATV's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twin123185 Posted October 26, 2015 #4 Share Posted October 26, 2015 I always rent a car and circle the island, seeing all the sights, shop, go to a great beach and have an awesome lunch. I love not having much of a time restriction. All day (8 hours) rental about $100. Better than a tour for ME. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jilly08 Posted October 28, 2015 #5 Share Posted October 28, 2015 (edited) I agree: ATV Moorea was great. And they will pick you up at the dock. If you choose the shorter tour in the early morning, you should have time to do something else 'water-ish'.

Alder Posted November 28, 2015 #6 Share Posted November 28, 2015 Hi there, We picked up a car from Avis - they have a location about 50yds from the ferry terminal. Easy to drive round the island - there's a fantastic picture perfect public beach past the Hilton around the NE of the island. By the way Avis also set up a booth at the point cruise ships tender passengers ashore on the other side of the island. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goosetwo Posted December 2, 2015 #7 Share Posted December 2, 2015 We are getting off our cruise ship in Papeete and taking the ferry to Moorea for one night at the Hilton. Our plan is to get to the Hilton early afternoon and spending the rest of the day at the hotel. My question is whether we should do some off site tour on the second day? We will be getting back on the ship that afternoon at least by 5:00pm so we will have time for something. One more question: What currencies are accepted on these islands? Are US dollars? As you might guess, this is my first visit to the South Pacific. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twin123185 Posted December 2, 2015 #8 Share Posted December 2, 2015 Some people take dollars but you will usually get a terrible rate. Check out Alberts on MOOREA for a a great tour. They have a website Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaliforniaAC Posted December 3, 2015 #9 Share Posted December 3, 2015 In Moorea, we planned to get off the tender, and Go to the Lagoonarium. As it turned out, there was a tour operator at the tender pier. He charged us $40.00 per person, but the crew got it for 20.00 per person. You will wait on a bigger open boat, and then go out on an outrigger. (The price may be negotiable ) he took us to the motu, where we could have fruit and water (included). There were lounge chairs there. Then we went back out on another outrigger, and swam with the sharks and rays. Then we went back to the motu and snorkeled in the shallow bay.they had a taxi boat that went back and forth, so it was no problem staying as long as you wanted. Everyone spoke English. At the same motu, Hiro's Tour was there, but they also served lunch. If you like to snorkel, relax, and see the Sharks and rays and get back in time, this was a good trip.
