The 4 Best Underwater Helmet Walks in Moorea & Bora Bora

1.Aqua Safari Introductory Helmet Dive (Underwater Walk)

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 428 reviews · from $158Our pick

You’ll ride by boat to a shallow coral garden, receive a safety briefing, then walk for about 30 minutes on the lagoon floor at roughly 10 feet. Guides such as Tama, JP, Sebastian, Rémi, and Séverine have helped guests feel at ease while pointing out fish, coral, moray eels, and stingrays. Photos are taken during the walk.

“This is an incredible experience for anyone who is not a swimmer. We were picked up at our resort dock and transferred to another boat with the helmet gear. The operators were very professional and explained the whole process. We had around 40 minutes to walk in an enclosed area with many fish. The best part of the walk was a stingray the operators have worked with for over a decade who is very friendly. Highly recommended for anyone who is nervous about snorkeling or does not swim.”

4.Private Tour: Aqua Safari Scuba Diving

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 7 reviews

Spend about two hours exploring Bora Bora’s lagoon with a private guide and helmet equipment. After a safety briefing, you walk for 30 minutes on a sandy bottom at three meters, surrounded by coral, parrot fish, butterfly fish, clown fish, and possibly rays or turtles. Bus or boat transfers, towels, bottled water, and the helmet are included.

“I just really really really loved this! I would recommend this attraction to any and everyone. This is a DON'T miss. Bring your underwater camera. If you don't have one it's ok. They take pictures of you that you can buy. No need for water shoes, it's a sandy bottom. This attraction rates up their with skydiving. Great bucket list item.”
