5.00Was a beautiful and relaxing experience. Our guide was great and it made for a great experience! We saw many snorkel spots that weren’t crowded and were able to relax on the catamaran
Tour company never showed and still waiting for refund 20+ days later!

High hopes, but such a disappointment

1.00We did this excursion on our recent transpacific cruise. It was the one we were looking forward to the most, and we were so disappointed. We arrived at the marina and weren't greeted by anyone. Someone else pointed out the captain. The captain never introduced himself, I still have no idea what his name was. The boat was filthy. Our kids' bathing suits ended up stained with who knows what. The captain smoked the entire time. He pointed out a few things but it was definitely not the guided tour we were expecting. It was very much a "sail to this spot, jump off and swim for 30 minutes, move to the next spot" type of thing. Oh, and this is on us because I didn't realize it, but snorkeling gear is not provided, despite pictures of folks snorkeling in the pictures. So be sure to bring your own gear. The boat has seen better days. My husband and I joked it's like an online dating profile where the pictures are all 10+ years old. At the end of the day, the captain never said bye or anything, we just got off the boat and walked away. We really wish we had done any other excursion this day, it was such a letdown. It was all very odd.
Awesome experience

5.00We had a great time on the boat. We saw sharks, rays, and loads of tropical fishes in the lagoon and at the coral garden. Hervé was very knowledgeable. Despite the crazy winds the same morning and a small damage to the boat Hervé was able to fix it on time and take us. We had a blast.
Best fun day! Do it!

5.00Wonderful bilingual French crew. Fresh island fruit and juices were served along with a mild ADULT punch. The boat was spotless and really hit the waves. Crew wasn’t fussy about sitting where you want. The snorkel sites showed us what there is of the local fish and coral. Best looking boat I saw in the Harbour. Looked at it and said”oooh I hope that’s OUR boat!”
The activity was canceled...

2.00The activity was canceled the last minute without heads-up. Even if it is due to the weather condition, it would be nice to get a message from the operator. I am waiting for the full refund to be processed.

5.00A big thank you to Hervé who made us discover the lagoon with his canoe, in the Polynesian spirit! Its great culture of the region and the ecosystem , and its stories and legends delighted young and old! Not to mention the beautiful snorkeling spots and the rum and pineapple on board! Maurruru Hervé and good luck to you! Arthur, Gaëla, Anatole, Samuel and Colette
Well done

5.00We had an awesome time, Avi really new what he was talking about and made sure it felt like a personalised experience. Next we would organise our transportation to the departure point but no biggie at all. Absolutely amazing time
