Marc's Motu Picnic-Anything Like It On Other Islands?

[bettyvon]

I have read so many great things about Marc's Huahine Motu picnic, but was dismayed to find after looking at our itenerary more closely, that we are not stopping in Huahine on our TP cruise! Does anyone know of something similar on the islands of Moorea, Nuku Hiva, Hiva Oa, Rangiroa, Raiatea or Bora Bora?

 

Thanks so much

On Raiatea, it sounds like Bruno's is similiar with drift snorkeling and picnic lunch on a motu. Here's a link, and if you put in Bruno in the search function of this board, you should find lots of comments from cc'rs.

I didn't take Buno's tour and I'm sure it's a good time...but I did take Marc's tour and it was the BEST tour I've ever been on.

You will find a snorkel/motu picnic excursion most likely on EVERY island. I cannot speak for the islands that are marquesas itinerary specific..but Moorea, Bora Bora, Huahine, etc all have some type of combo motu/snorkel trip..some include lunch..others may only include fruit and juices. If they include lunch, some may be on the motu where they have table, benches, bbq set up..wheras Marc's actually has his tables, benches and BBQ IN THE WATER..so you sit in shallow water as you eat..made for an interesting experience..but in the other trips we did..we were on the beach eating..either way is fun and good food.

 

In Bora Bora, we grabbed a snorkel trip att the dock, but it did not include a lunch, just some fruit on the boat as we cruised around.

 

In Moorea, we did a tour that included lunch on a motu..nice BBQ...you can grab at the dock..look for Hiro's tours.

 

Raiatea there is a whole bldg with different excursions you can grab when you arrive at the dock. Bruno's is supposed to be really good but there are many others similar.

 

We did all private excursions..some prebooked like marc's and others just picked up at the dock and had a blast on everything we did!

 

Have fun!
