Welcome aboard Taboo !

Taboo is a cozy sailing catamaran and the perfect way to discover the wonders of Moorea. Get ready to share with us a memorable experience in the lagoon :)

We start from our boat mooring, pass by Opunohu Bay and sail along the North coast of Moorea to the Tiahura's motus to enjoy amazing landscapes, clear water, lush mountains, paradisiac islets...

We'll do several snorkeling stops in pristine water for magical wildlife encounters and to visit Tikis (traditional statues). You'll swim with black tip sharks, stingrays and colorful tropical fishes in a coral garden. We often see sea turtles and dolphins on our way !

A tasty and delicious plate of fresh local fruits and cocktails will be ready for you.

Taboo is a comfortable catamaran with mattress, overwater net and a shadded area.

The guides, Louie and Mary, rocked and made this an unforgettable part of our honeymoon. They were friendly and very knowledgeable about the island and marine life. The snorkeling and spots they took us to were 10/10 - we swam with black tip sharks and stingrays. I'd highly recommend booking this as part of your trip to Moorea.

Very easy going and nice crew. They made my partner feel at ease as he is not the best swimmer and gets sea sick. The assured us my partner would be ok on Tabu and therefore he did not miss out on the trip and ended up having a great time.
A magical half day in a catamaran!

We spent an incredible half day aboard a catamaran with a top team! Many thanks to Flo and Max, two passionate guides, pros and ultra friendly, who knew how to make this excursion unforgettable. On the program: observation of sharks, rays, and beautiful corals in crystal clear water. The explanations were clear, interesting and accessible to everyone. The small group made the experience even more convivial and enjoyable! A real favorite for this outing that I recommend with my eyes closed. Thanks again to Flo and Max for their good humour and kindness throughout the excursion!
