Moorea Lagoonarium

[Kane]

Have read some good reviews of the Lagoonarium on Moorea, but haven't been able to find a great deal of detail, even on their web site. Would appreciate comments from those who have been there.

 

From what I could find, it appears to be a fenced-off area of the lagoon in which "semi-captive" sea creatures live. Visitors can then snorkel and see a diverse collection of the creatures.

 

What I am interested in is:

 

How large is it ... estimated acres/hectares (2.5 ac. ~ 1 hectare)?

 

How deep is the deepest section?

 

I don't mean to be critical, but I'm from Hawaii and used to open ocean dives. It would be a bit disappointing to travel over there from the ship dock to splash around in a pen 5 feet deep.

 

It would be nice to do some underwater photography in the famed FP crystal clear water (which is rare in Hawaii). Would I be disappointed with the Lagoonarium?

 

TIA

meherio, thanks for the advice. I think I may have answered my own questions via Google Earth. The photo shows what I believe to be the Lagoonarium, with the highlighted area being the inside dive area where the captive creatures are.

 

 

Please correct me if the photo is incorrect.

Please note to get three early before any school trips. onn school days or holidays, the place can be a tad busy. must be enjoyed with more fish than humans... ( unless you are a shark of course )
