Luxurious Retreat at Hilton Moorea Lagoon Resort & Spa
Moorea, a picturesque island nestled in the heart of the South Pacific, is renowned for its stunning coral reefs and diverse marine life, particularly its shark populations. This seven-minute flight or 30-minute catamaran ride from Tahiti offers a unique underwater adventure for both novice and experienced divers.
The island's calm, clear waters are home to a variety of shark species, including Blacktip, Whitetip, Grey, and Lemon Sharks. These shark hotspots are typically found along the outer reefs and sand-beds, where sharks are often seen swimming or resting.
For those seeking a personalised shark encounter, operators like Moorea Blue Diving Center provide tours that promise close encounters with lemon sharks, blacktip sharks, whitetip sharks, turtles, and a kaleidoscope of colourful fish.
In addition to traditional diving, private snorkeling and underwater exploration tours with marine biologists are available. These tours combine reef snorkeling with big blue discovery areas where sharks and rays swim, providing an enriching experience of encountering sharks in their natural habitats around Moorea.
TOPDIVE dive centers, located at the InterContinental Moorea Resort and Spa and the Hilton Moorea Lagoon Resort & Spa, offer a range of diving experiences. Certified divers can enjoy free Nitrox dives, night diving, drift dives, and more. For those not yet certified, TOPDIVE centers offer PADI, SSI, FFESSM/CMAS, ANMP/Cedip, and PADI certifications.
The Hilton Moorea Lagoon Resort & Spa, located in the North of Moorea between Cook's Bay and Opunohu Bay, offers luxurious accommodations with private terraces, plunge pools, and stunning views. Guests can choose from bungalows or Overwater Bungalows at the resort.
For those wishing to learn more about sharks, TOPDIVE offers an SSI specialty course called SSI Shark Ecology. This course allows divers to identify and describe shark species in a safe environment.
