We used the ship's tours, too. We snorkeled everywhere possible, except Raiatea. We thought the coral garden snorkeling at Bora Bora, which we did as part of the shark and ray feeding, was the best snorkeling we have ever done. Lots of beautiful, colorful fish, and interesting big clams. The day we were there, there was a fairly strong current. It seems to depend on the conditions of the day.
Enjoy!
