5.00Very nice activity, Captain Leo and his second Louis shared their knowledge about the lagoon. The discovery of the coral garden, swimming with rays, the story about submerged tikis, in good humor contributed to this perfect outing. Comfortable boat, all accompanied by refreshments and fresh fruit, a very good start to our stay. Thank you both again.

5.00Catamaran excursion in small group (8 people) and quiet (no noisy music ) for a morning of snorkeling but not under sails except the jib mounted on the way because navigation in the lagoon does not lend itself. Early departure (7:25) which allowed to arrive on the scene before the other tourist boats. Which is very appreciative. On the way, we had the chance to observe whales. We first swam with pastenague rays and blacktip sharks then swam in the middle of a coral garden with lots of multicolored fish and ended with an underwater tiki sighting. Leo and Mahi accompanied and guided us with great professionalism and kindness. Fresh fruit and juice and a Mai Tai were served. If you do not like mass tourism, do not hesitate to book an excursion with Voil'à Moorea, you will not be disappointed!
Sunken tikis and amazing snorkeling

5.00Amazing. It was easy to find the pick-up spot, we loved how small the group was (7 total), and the guide was super informative. The boat had shelter, for those who didn't want to be in the sun, but we all enjoyed being at the front of the boat. We visited the rays and black tip shark area, a beautiful coral garden, and saw the fascinating sunken tikis. The whole tour was super safety conscious as well, for us and for the marine life. I was all around so very impressed and happy with this tour
A timeless moment in Moorea Lagoon

4.00The two crew that ran the small boat were great. Small 8 person only catamaran under power only not sail for this tour. Weird ending with crew saying the boss had said someone still owed money for tour even though all prepaid via trip adviser. Otherwise great fun
Best small group tour

5.00Max and Louis did great job getting us to the best spots for snorkeling. Yes, we did swim with sharks and rays! Super informative about local history and culture. Only 8 on board so we all get time in the “net” during the tour. Highly recommend!
Great snorkeling trip
