Tender in Moorea

[Miami-Girl]

I am about to sail away on the 35 days Hawaii & French Polynesia on the Konigsdam. I cannot find information about the schedule of the tender in Moorea the day it stays overnight. I asked HAL (Chat) and they said it is at the discretion of the Captain.. I understand the timing of the last tender will depend on weather conditions, but if someone has been on this cruise before..? I'd like to see a show in Moorea, but I am reluctant to book it without having an idea of a "normal" tender schedule,

This is not a common stop, particularly for the Koningsdam.

If you have an overnight stop in Moorea, think about leaving the ship and staying in one of the over-the-water bungalow hotels which often also have "shows". We found the most cost-effective closely hotel was the older Moorea Pearl, to finally check this experience off our bucket list.

 

Update - now called the Maneva Beach Resort:

Been there several times. Tenders from ship/shore shuttle back and forth most all hours of daylight at Captains discretion if there’s no storms.

We are on this cruise too. In 2022 on the Noordam, we got off the ship before 8AM. It was not a problem. I am almost positive we could have gotten off at 7AM. The only variable is, as always, the weather. I have an 8 AM tour for our second day in Moorea. I am not concerned. I hope this helps.
