I was looking online at independent excursions, here is one that is not listed on the Regent selections:
Port Compass excursions Parasailing over Moorea Order code: SouthPacific-19
Approx. 1.5 hours
US$ 99
Minimum number of passengers: 2 (Smaller group? Ask us for pricing!)
Parasailing is a great for thrillseekers wanting a bird's eye view of the gorgeous Moorea lagoon as well. Depending on wind conditions, this excursion will be conducted in one of the two bays in Moorea. Float for 10 minutes, up to 600 feet above the spectacular lagoon. The experience will take your breath away!
And here is another one for Moorea:
HelmetOrder code: SouthPacific-10
Approx. 4 hours
Adult: US$ 54 (25% lower than comparable tours offered by ships)
Child: US$ 44
Minimum number of passengers: 5 (Smaller group? Ask us for pricing!)
This tour is not offered by the cruise lines in Moorea. Price comparison above is with a similar helmet diving trip offered by the cruise lines in Bora Bora.
Departures at 8.30am and 1pm. You will be met at the pier and taken by boat to the Sofitel Ia Ora. Helmet diving is a unique experience and truly appreciated by snorkelling lovers. Upon arrival, you are outfitted in a hard helmet, canvas diving suit. As your air is supplied by a pump, you will experience the magic of diving without undergoing certification or undertaking the risks associated with diving. Diving instructors will accompany you in your 35 minute snorkel. While five helmet "divers" explore the underwater world, the other adventurers will be able to relax on Temae Beach at the Sofitel Ia Ora Hotel, widely considered to be located on the best lagoon in Moorea for watersports. Enjoy a view of Tahiti from the beach, whose verdant, cloud-enshrouded mountains seem to climb out of the horizon beyond the reef.
