Experience Moorea with an Electric Bodyboard Rental
Imagine gliding across the crystal-clear waters of Moorea’s lagoon on a sleek, eco-friendly electric bodyboard. For around $102 per person, you get about one to twelve hours of pure water fun, depending on how long you want to stay out exploring. Led by friendly guides, this activity begins at Public Beach Ta’ahiamanu and invites you to discover Moorea’s beauty from a whole new perspective—drifting and zipping over the water at speeds reaching 40 km/h.
What we really appreciate about this experience is how accessible and exhilarating it is. You don’t need prior surfing or bodyboarding experience, just a moderate level of fitness and a sense of adventure. We also love the environmentally friendly aspect—the boards run on 100% ecological electric turbines, making this a fun activity that respects nature. The guides are attentive, offering clear instructions and support, so even first-timers feel confident to try. Plus, with bottled water and life vests provided, you’re well taken care of.
A small consideration is that the group size is limited to four people, which keeps things intimate but means you might need to book ahead during busy times. Also, since the tour ends back at the starting point, it’s easy to plan your day around this activity. This rental suits travelers who want a fun, active water experience without the hassle of large tours or complicated logistics.

A Deep Dive into the Electric Bodyboard Experience
Why Choose an Electric Bodyboard in Moorea?
Moorea’s lagoon is visually stunning, but sometimes traditional snorkeling or kayaking can feel a bit sedate—what if you could spice things up? That’s where the electric bodyboard shines. We loved the thrill of reaching 40 km/h, which adds a new dimension of excitement to water exploration. It’s like being on a water skateboard, but softer and more comfortable.
What To Expect on the Day
The meeting point is at Public Beach Ta’ahiamanu, easy to reach by local transportation or even a short walk if you’re staying nearby. The activity kicks off at 8:00 am, a perfect time to beat the midday crowds and enjoy the water in cooler, calmer conditions. Once you meet your guide—who will provide a full briefing—you’ll get fitted with a vest, receive bottled water, and be introduced to your electric bodyboard.
You’ll learn how to operate the controls, which are straightforward—think of it as a combination of a scooter and a surfboard. The guide will be attentive, ready to answer questions and help you master turns or speed control. From there, it’s just a matter of paddling out into the lagoon and starting your ride. The sensation of gliding over the water at high speed, making turns, and feeling the electric power beneath you is genuinely addictive.
The Water and the Views
You’ll be floating in crystal-clear waters, with views of Moorea’s lush mountain peaks and the vibrant coral reefs below. Whether you’re cruising along the shoreline or trying some quick turns, the lagoon’s tranquility combined with the thrill of the electric board creates a memorable mix of relaxation and adrenaline.
The Guide and Group Size
With a maximum of just four travelers, the experience feels more personal and less hectic. Guides are knowledgeable and friendly, making sure everyone feels safe and confident. This small group size also allows for more tailored instruction if needed, which we found to be a big plus.
Practicalities and Considerations
The duration is flexible—you can rent the board for just an hour or extend up to 12 hours if you wish. Keep in mind that confirmation is immediate when booking, and cancellations are free up to 24 hours in advance, providing some flexibility if your plans change. The activity is suitable for those with moderate physical fitness, as it involves some paddling and balance, but no intense exertion.
Comparing Value and Other Experiences
At just over $100, this activity isn’t the cheapest water sport in Moorea, but the unique experience of electric-powered riding makes it worth considering. Unlike standard rentals or snorkeling, you get a guided introduction and the thrill of controlling your own watercraft, which adds value for those seeking adventure.
Authenticity and Authentic Experience
While many water activities in Moorea are centered around snorkeling or boat tours, this rental offers a more interactive, hands-on experience. You’re not just observing the lagoon—you’re becoming part of it, feeling the water beneath you and controlling your own movement, which makes for more memorable stories.
Who Will Love This Experience?
This activity is ideal for adventure seekers who want to try something different and exciting. It’s also perfect for those who enjoy water sports but prefer a controlled, guided environment.
