koko's_mom Posted May 15, 2016 #1 Share Posted May 15, 2016 We are looking to book an 11 day Cook Islands and Society Islands voyage in October. How many days can we expect the ship's marina activities to be available? Thank you in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emdee Posted May 15, 2016 #2 Share Posted May 15, 2016 We are looking to book an 11 day Cook Islands and Society Islands voyage in October. How many days can we expect the ship's marina activities to be available? Thank you in advance! Marina activities are usually only for divers. That being said when the ship is in lagoons they have sometimes allowed some activities but I wouldn't be wrong in saying this is very rare.

koko's_mom Posted May 16, 2016 Author #3 Share Posted May 16, 2016 I am not sure I was clear....I am asking how often the ship's watersports Marina is available for paddleboard, windsurfing, kayaking, etc.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Notion_of_the_Ocean Posted May 16, 2016 #4 Share Posted May 16, 2016 I am following along with this information as well. I have read that the marina is closed if the stabilizers are on. Sounds like this is common? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wendy The Wanderer Posted May 16, 2016 #5 Share Posted May 16, 2016 I am not sure I was clear....I am asking how often the ship's watersports Marina is available for paddleboard' date=' windsurfing, kayaking, etc.?[/quote'] Only when the ship is anchored, obviously, and no stormy weather. And then there would be times posted I presume, when there were no dives coming and going. And on days where the ship is accessible to one of the motus, like the Motu Mahana day or the Bora Bora motu, the kayaks etc. will be transported there for use, at least some of them. Didn't know they had paddleboards, but if so, that's great. This is just my general impression over the years of being aboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koko's_mom Posted May 16, 2016 Author #6 Share Posted May 16, 2016 Thank you Wendy 😊. The PG website mentions the watersports Marina (and paddleboards!), but I was curious about how often we would have access to the "toys"! We would of course be interested in going on shore at each island stop and either doing an excursion of some type or simply exploring....but think the ship's Marina would be a great addition to the experience.

As Wendy said kayaks are available at PG motus. I know they have the paddle boards in the marina but these can be used under certain weather conditions.

koko's_mom Posted May 16, 2016 Author #8 Share Posted May 16, 2016 Thank you Emdee....I guess I was clear :) The website makes it appear the marina is available often, so I appreciate knowing the reality. Sounds similar to how I remember Windstar (honeymoon 27 years ago!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RZ3 Posted May 16, 2016 #9 Share Posted May 16, 2016 The marina is available any time they are anchored and the weather is appropriate. However, not may people use it. The only kayakers I saw using it while anchored were when we were in Moorea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
