5.00We had so much fun I would highly recommend if you’re looking to snorkel! We got to see lots of blacktip sharks, stingrays, fish, coral and tikis! Such a great way to see the beauty of Moorea!
An extremely memorable day - highly recommend

5.00We had the best morning on the Taboo today as we went to three snorkelling spots. The boat was beautiful and spacious, allowing us and the other three couples to easily lounge and take in the sights as we sailed. Our captain and guide were hilarious and told us many facts about the island as we sailed, while also pointing out interesting things for us to see as they came. I am normally not super comfortable being on the ocean, but I felt safe the entire time and didn’t have any concerns. The captain gave us fresh fruit, juice, and mai tais between snorkel spots which was the perfect addition to our sunny day on the water! Would recommend to anyone that they sail on the Taboo!
An awesome experience!!

5.00If you have never swam with stingrays or sharks before this is the experience for you! I was really nervous but Mai was so so kind and guided me through the water so I could see these amazing sea creatures! Something I will never forget. Our captain Max was amazing, nice, and prepared the most delicious fruit platter and Mai Tai’s!! I would most certainly do this tour again!!
Amazing Tour for Retirees

5.00Mai & the Captain waited for us due to being delayed getting off of the cruise ship. We were so thankful for this! Mai provided excellent service as our guide for the day. All 6 of us on this tour were of retirement age! Highly recommend that you book with these guys!
Okay

3.00We stopped at three snorkel sites. They offered a diverse view of underwater. The problem was lack of good communication both before the trip and during the trip. At the each site we were told to just get in the water with no idea of how long we had to swim around. At the underwater tiki site the guide pointed to approximately where the tikis were and said we could find six. He never left the boat and communication was lacking.
