narnia1 Posted January 28, 2011 #1 Share Posted January 28, 2011 We will be on the May 25th sailing of the PG. I am having trouble deciding between whether to book Bruno's Excursion Bleue that combines several activities or doing the 3 hour Coral Gardens Ship Excursion and then spending the afternoon at the Motu Mahana picnic. We really want to spend as much time snorkeling as possible and the Coral Gardens look wonderful. We are not so interested in a Pearl Farm or Vanilla Farm and would rather be in the water. Does anyone who has done these before have an opinion? And if we do the ship's Coral Garden tour, will we be able to go to the Motu Mahana for the rest of the day? Thanks.:rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emdee Posted January 28, 2011 #2 Share Posted January 28, 2011 After the Coral gardens they will usually bringyou back directly to Motu Mahana. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikenbob Posted January 28, 2011 #3 Share Posted January 28, 2011 The Coral Garden excursion is spectacular...absolutely beautiful. The current can be somewhat swift at times, so it requires some experience. In my opinion, spending time at Motu Mahama is also mandatory. Both in one day makes for another great day in paradise.

Also, Motu Mahana has a special treat - half hour massages in a tent on the beach there in the lagoon! Magical! Yet another reason to not miss a day on the motu..........

MightyQuinn Posted January 31, 2011 #5 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Also, Motu Mahana has a special treat - half hour massages in a tent on the beach there in the lagoon! Magical! Yet another reason to not miss a day on the motu..........I read about massages on the beach and always assumed that they would be for a fee. But now you've got me wondering! Are the 1/2 hr massages on Motu Mahana complimentary? That would definitely be a treat! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikenbob Posted February 1, 2011 #6 Share Posted February 1, 2011 The massages are not free, but I recall that the prices were within reason (charged to the ship cabin). The location makes experience even nicer. Definitely worth the cost whatever it is! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
