This was one of my highlights of our trip, I highly recommend it! Just the owner and his son and my sister and I, so it it was pretty much a private tour. We rode our JetSki to a beautiful place where we had our first encounter with the magnificent blacktop sharks! Then we rode the jetski to a drift snorkel site that was absolutely beautiful. The current is very strong here so just be prepared, definitely need water shoes but we loved it. Then we explored along the coastline of Tahaa’a, great trip and great guides!

Our 3-hour jet ski tour around Taha’a was such an unforgettable adventure! The guides were friendly and professional, giving a quick safety briefing before we set off across the lagoon. The ride was thrilling — a bit of rough water and a passing rain shower added some extra excitement, but it just made the experience feel even more authentic and fun. The highlight was stopping to snorkel in a beautiful coral garden. The water was crystal clear, filled with colorful fish and vibrant coral — absolutely stunning! We also visited a small motu for a short break and some refreshments, which was a lovely touch. Even with the changing weather, the tour was well organized, the jet skis were in great condition, and we always felt safe. Exploring Taha’a from the water was the perfect mix of adventure, scenery, and island charm. Highly recommend this excursion to anyone visiting French Polynesia!

An amazing tour with Yannika. He took us out to see a school of dolphins and then to a gorgeous coral garden for drift snorkling. You walk along a path of a small island and then enter the water to drift and ride the slow current over gorgeous coral reef with so many fish. Much easier than regular snorkeling, because you just have to relax and let the current take you back to the boat. A great trip. We would do it again.

There are pros and cons to this experience. The pros: our guide was wonderful! He was informative, interesting, and insured that we were all safe. It was my first snorkeling experience and he guided me down the river, making sure I didn't run into any coral. What an amazing experience it was! The cons: jetskiing on the ocean is a whole different animal than jetskiing on a lake. He went out in front of us in his boat and told us to stay in his wake about 100 ft from the boat. I'm 70 years old and in fairly good health, but I found it very difficult to control the jet ski and keep it in the wake, particularly at the speeds he was going. I got better at it after the first 15 minutes and it wasn't so bad for the next 15 minutes. But we kept going for at least another half hour and that was just way too long for me. I was cramping up and exhausted. We stopped at the island and snorkeled and that revived me, but we ended up talking another couple into splitting up and taking our jetski back to the dock. They were happy since they both got to drive a jetski, and we were thrilled to relax in the boat. I would highly recommend this experience, but only if you are fully aware of what you're getting into and you're ready for it. Have fun!

Superb family jetski ride in the lagoons of Raiatea and Tahaa... A water hike that offers breathtaking scenery... Unfortunately Mother Nature was not lenient, we went in search of dolphins, whales and other underwater creatures, but in vain... We still crossed the path of a Beautiful turtle... Thank you to Yannick for sharing his knowledge of his ancestral lands with pedagogy and good humor!!!

Also, had two snorkel stops. First one was normal. Second was great. Beautiful coral and fun feeding the large number of fish, while floating through the coral!

We booked this tour while on an Oceania Cruise line trip via Trip Advisor. The entire process couldn’t have been easier. We received an email the morning of our tour to meet at information desk 3 immediately across from where our ship docked. We met our guide Pino and walked five minutes to hop on our jet ski. This is where the fun began! 10 minute ride to our first stop and we are swimming with black tip sharks! Next stop anchor the jet skis, walk along the beach of a private island then into an amazing coral reef channel where we drift snorkeled seeing thousands of tropical fish. Can’t say enough good things about our guide Pino!! This is a must do experience.

Our tour guide was awesome!! We had a group of 6 people on 3 jet skis and he always made sure we were safe at all times. We went slow to get our bearings and then we went out further and sped up and really got going!! We stopped to swim with sharks, and then he took us to the most beautiful location which also had a reef garden. Both of these stops were unexpected and made the tour so much more amazing. He also provided us with juice and water along the way which was a lifesaver given how thirsty we were from the salt water. All in all, the entire experience and especially our awesome tour guide made for the most AMAZING excursion. We would seriously recommend this to anyone looking for a fabulous way to spend a day in Tasha’s.

An absolutely amazing experience, the jet skiing in self was brilliant, but the swimming with sharks, then snorkelling, floating in the current observing all the coral life and fish while you float above them was out of this world
