5.00The boat only fits about 6 people, which makes it very personal and private. Scuba guide was very knowledgeable. 10/10 would recommend.

5.00The whole experience was perfect and special. Starting early allowed us to dive alone with sharks and rays. The crew was friendly and made sure we had a good time while also explaining about marine life and Polynesian culture.

Sunset on a Catamaran

5.00Organization and execution without surprises, pick-up from the guesthouse by a very welcoming and interesting taxi. The captain, very friendly and respectful of nature, shared with us some myths and various explanations and allowed us to enjoy a magnificent sunset. The sailing part was the most enjoyable. We had a very good time, thank you.
Great Snorkeling in Mo’Orea!

5.00Very informative. Not necessarily appropriate for those with limited mobility; low clearance for seating area. Ladder access is good for sea entry. Doris, guide for excursion, was helpful in spotting the mantas and sharks for our snorkeling in beautiful Mo’Orea aqua waters. She showed us some underwater highlights of marine life and other things of interest. Local fruits and drinks were served. Amazing coral gardens snorkeling! You will not regret this excursion! I recommend the early morning tour; very warm water for swimming. Easier to see marine life with underwater snorkel videography. Doris had great communication prior to our snorkel tour. Don’t hesitate to book with this tour operator! We were cruise passengers and the pick up point (arrived by tender) was right at the Mo’Orea landing. Thank you for a great day of snorkeling!! 🤿🐠🐟🇵🇫
Never Showed Up for Tour!!!!!

1.00Worst experience ever. We arrived to Moorea on the Windstar and were told to meet the driver at 11:00 AM at the pier. We got there early after and waited for 45 minutes and nobody showed up. We tried to call from the tourist authority at the port and nobody even answered the phone. We finally gave up and all and all spent an hour and half getting to and waiting for a car that never arrived. Worst of all, it wrecked our one day event plan in Moorea. The owner finally responded hours later after I demanded a refund and said something about the cab having problems. Ridiculous. Don't risk your holiday adventure on an unreliable operator.
Excellent

Best Shore Excursion From A Cruise Ever.

5.00An outstanding half day water adventure we will never forget. The crew knew the best spots and the catamaran could cater for sun lovers and those in need of shade. Was very informative and the friendly crew also took care to advise us on what not to touch to ensure our impact was minimal on the seascape. Visually spectacular both under and above water. Will get an underwater camera for the next visit.
