Looking for feedback on Moorea excursions - Aquablue and Aito Off-Road Safari

[poohhunny]

we are sailing on June 23, will be in Moorea on June 28, 29 (also 2 nights of pre-cruise land stay in Moorea).. reserved excursions through PG for Aquarblue (underwater walk) and Aito Off-Road Safari.. any feedback is much appreciated.. thx! :)

I have done the Aito and liked it. If you are interested in a 'cultural' tour I would suggest the Trail of the Ancients which also also takes you to the Belevedere and the agricultural station. ( Please check the last with PG cruises as its some time since I did this tour.

 

Suggest you go to the Hilton and buy a day pass for one of the days.

If and when you stop at the AG school buy some of their on-site made ice cream ........... incredible. I prefer the coconut or pineapple but they are all good :)

 

[Emdee]

Tiki have you tried their preserves?

Make lovely spreads for cakes or also thinned down into sauces for crepes.

Of course the ice cream is a must - havent tried the pineapple but will keep it in mind.

[Tikiintahiti]

Ah .......... yes

 

Good stuff, my BH usually brings a few jars back home.

oh thats good to hear... i am excited!! i LOVE coconut and pineapple ice-cream (I grew up in Asian so i used to have that all the time when i was a kid).. :D too bad cant bring the ice cream home! lol.... definitely getting the preserves...

 

Emdee, we will be staying in Hilton Moorea for 2 nights before our cruise (yes we are flying out tomorrow!! excited!!)

Here is the resort layout with room categories. Rooms looking to the right will have sunrise views, the ones facing to the left will have sunset views.

thx Tikitahiti, i have asked my travel agent to request the sunset room (103-109) for us.. hopefully we will get either one of those rooms! :)

Have a great trip Pooh

Take zip lock bags and bubble wrap for the preserves!

[poohhunny]
