FP Excursions

We will be doing the 10-day Princess FP cruise plus 3 nights in a Moorea OWB and 2 "transition" nights im Papeete (one before, one after the cruise/OWB).

We are researching independent excursions and want to reserve them ahead of time. We are looking for:

- Quality experience

- Not a large group

- Not a "bus tour"

- Not a "canned experience" feel

- Super scenery

- Relaxation

- Don't think we'd want to do pearl or vanilla stops

Since we'll have extra time on Moorea we're thinking do our Moorea activities then and relax on the ship. Or should we maximixe our OWB time and do an excursion from the ship?

Any recommendations for excursions on the following islands that would align with the above objectives?

- Huahine

- Rangiora

- Bora Bora

- Raiatea

- Moorea

Thanks in advance for any thoughts, insights, and suggestions!

Will do. Was looking for some summary thoughts versus doing tons of searching...

We did a pre cruise at the IC Tahiti & Hilton Moorea: both excellent, get a breakfast package...food is costly.

Moorea: do your activities during your stay rather than with hundreds of your fellow passengers on port day. Albert has a great ATV/Jetski tour

Raiatea: Manava has an interesting tour

Rangiroa: a trip to the blue lagoon

Borabora: is beautiful when viewed from water, Moana has good tours including Jetski/snorkel. As mentioned in Tiki's suggestions, Raanui's excursion is small and intimate, I liked their clean private motu. Patrick has a good tour also.

You can read reviews for these excursion on previous posts (use search option) & on TripAdv.

Book your tours online in advance, they fill fast. Most do not ask for a deposit .

Thanks! Brian

I remember on huahani, we did mark's motu picnic which included snorkeling and seeing clown fish. food was great and lots to drink. great day!!

we did brunos l'excursion bleu to Tahai and the coral gardens, very memorable. went to a little island for lunch and swam with some lemon sharks...
