Experience Moorea in a Day: Jet Ski and Quad Combo Tour
Imagine zipping across crystal-clear waters, swimming alongside sharks and rays, then exploring lush mountain landscapes—all in one day. That’s exactly what this 7.5-hour adventure in Moorea offers. For $229.31 per person, you get a 3-hour jet ski tour of the lagoon, followed by 2.5 hours of off-road quad biking into the island’s rugged interior. With small groups and personalized attention, this tour promises a balanced mix of adrenaline, scenery, and authentic island life.
What we really love about this experience are the stunning views it offers both from the water and the land, and the knowledgeable guides who make every stop informative and fun. Plus, the tour is flexible enough for those who want to spread out the activities over two days, making it perfect for travelers with tight schedules or those who want to savor each part at their own pace.
A slight consideration is that it’s a long day—so if you’re not used to full-day excursions, pace yourself. Also, while all the gear and snacks are included, you’ll need to budget extra if you plan to buy souvenirs or enjoy additional food at stops.
This tour suits adventure lovers, family travelers, and anyone eager to see Moorea’s highlights without spending a fortune on multiple outings. If you’ve got a curious mind and a sense of adventure, this combo is hard to beat.

The adventure kicks off at the Moorea Activities Center, conveniently located in Opunohu. You’ll meet your guides, receive a briefing, and get fitted with helmets, snorkel masks, and rain gear.
