  • Not an easy drift snorkel

    The boat was excellent, like new. The snorkeling was difficult without fins. We are experienced snorkelers, but really worked against the incoming currents to reach the place where we could drift back to the boat. The swim with the sharks experience was fun and our guides were very attentive. We even received underwater photos and videos from our tour operator. Fun day!

  • Awesome snorkeling experience!

    This is a wonderful snorkeling experience. They made it easy enough for beginners and also fun for experienced snorkelers. I got to see probably at least 8 black tip reef sharks! It is an awesome experience! It is definitely worth taking this excursion!!

    This was one of the best days of my entire cruise. I’ve been snorkeling all over the world, including the two largest barrier reefs, and this was honestly one of the best spots I’ve experienced. You absolutely cannot miss snorkeling here—the visibility is incredible, and the coral is so close and vibrant. I was visiting on a cruise ship, and the convenience alone made this tour amazing—the boat was located right by the port, which made everything so easy and stress-free. No long transfers or confusion, just a seamless start to the day. The boat itself was spotless and felt brand new, which immediately made me feel comfortable and taken care of. This was a private tour, which made the entire experience feel even more special and personalized. The captain, Mataiki, was absolutely fantastic—so friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about what he does. He really made the day. Even though the weather was slightly rainy, it honestly didn’t take away from the experience at all—it still ended up being a perfect day. The snorkeling was absolutely unforgettable. Getting to see stingrays up close and swim with sharks was such a surreal experience—something I’ll never forget. The coral garden was stunning, and Mataiki actually got in the water with us to point out amazing things we definitely would have missed on our own. And the best part? There was no one else at the coral garden spot. It felt so peaceful and exclusive, like we had this incredible place completely to ourselves. The water was crystal clear, the marine life was vibrant, and the entire experience felt relaxed, personal, and truly special. I would absolutely recommend this to anyone visiting Raiatea—especially if you’re coming in on a cruise. It was easy, unique, and unforgettable.

    Beautiful and pleasant crossing in the blue-green lagoon of Raiatea and Tahaa. The site is beautiful. The seabed is amazing and colorful. The fish are within reach! They're here at my fingertips! That's impressive! The crew is like Polynesia, welcoming, smiling, pleasant. I highly recommend it!

    Beautiful excursion in the lagoon between Raiatea and Taha’a! The landscapes are simply breathtaking, with crystal clear waters and panoramas worthy of the most beautiful postcards. The welcome was particularly warm and attentive, we feel immediately at home. The atmosphere perfectly reflects the Polynesian spirit: friendly, relaxed and authentic. Many thanks also to the skippers, very pleasant and professional, who contributed greatly to make this experience unforgettable. I highly recommend this excursion to all those who wish to discover the beauty of the lagoon in ideal conditions!

    We arrived via cruise ship. We needed to tender and I did notify them as it would take a bit longer to reach pier. No problem, the boat & captain Arii was there with a sign and our name. We were very fortunate to have only 4 guests total tour. Amazing Coral gardens and so many black tip sharks! Also saw a large manta ray. Very beautiful new boat. Excellent day!!! Captain Arii also had a drone. He took many videos and shared them with us. I will be sharing his tour company with our travel friends.

    The best snorkeling trip we've ever had. The captain was well versed in the terrain it was a speed boat with small amount of people, excellent choice of anchoring spots for snorkeling. We went to the Coral garden as well as to a spot where black tip sharks congregate along with stingrays amazing trip. If you are fortunate enough to get on this tour it is so worth it. It is a very personalized tour loved it!
