If you are here on this post you may already know about the famous shark and ray spot of Moorea. Over the years, it has become somewhat of a insta famous location. In this post, I will share how you can get to this spot for free or fee.
How to get here: There is a parking lot across the street from Les Tipaniers Hotel. From there you can walk down the hotels drive to the ocean.
Recently, I was told they have started charging a small fee of $5 for access.
On the beach, you will find boats, kayaks, and paddleboards for rent. They will explain safety, how to drive, park, and operate inside the lagoon.
Your destination is a 3 minute ride. Needless to say, it will be easy to find. Bring reef safe sunscreen, a hat or some type of shade.
If you do not want to pay. Put all your gear in a dry bag, go down the road to Hauru park, and swim to the shark and ray spot. This is my preferred option because you can potentially see turtles and spotted eagle rays.
Use caution with boat traffic, especially the jet skis.
