What To Expect
The day begins with the sighting of long-billed dolphins, who dance and twirl above the waves in a fascinating aerial ballet. We will continue with a first snorkeling stop at the site of the Aquarium, an enchanted underwater world where plane and boat wrecks lie in silence, surrounded by clouds of tropical fish. A desk and a large coral heart add a magical touch to this magical decor. Then head to the ocean to explore a spectacular site, where underwater freshwater springs spring and a multicolored coral garden flourishes. You will have the chance to swim alongside sea turtles, getting close to them in their natural habitat. However, this meeting remains subject to the presence of animals and cannot be guaranteed at every exit. Finally, we will land on a splendid white sandbank, in the heart of sparkling turquoise water. The pastenague rays will slip at your feet as you enjoy an authentic Polynesian meal, made from raw fish with coconut milk, white rice and seasonal tubers, accompanied by water, juice and local beer.

5.00It was wonderful. The guide was terrific helpful informative and I liked the way he would stop the boat to pick up rubbish. The meal was enjoyable and having it on the ocean was great. I enjoyed the swimming and because I no a good swimmer the guide would regularly check on me. A experience to remember
Very good memory

5.00Our Captain, Israel, was absolutely fantastic! He was so friendly, enthusiastic and warn. He was also lots of fun, had a great sense of humour - my husband, myself and our three teenagers really liked him. The trip was awesome - we saw stingrays, sharks, dolphins (they swam beside the boat) and the highlight was the turtles! The lunch was delicious, the beer was cold - a perfect day out. I recommend this trip to everyone!

5.00What an amazing tour from Captain Francis & Tahiti by Boat for many reasons. First Captain Francis was not only friendly & a great captain, he was also so helpful in the water as the guide. You get to visit 3 different locations all different with stops at the shipwrecks, swimming in more of deeper sea with turtles, finally a stop at a beautiful coral garden area where the fish were brilliant and had both spotted eagle rays & sting rays. Then as the sun was going down Captain Francis becomes Chef Francis preparing local delicacy Poisson Cru Tahitienne (fresh white tuna, coconut milk, with vegetables over rice. What a way to spend a day in Papeete. If you get a chance don’t miss Captain Francis & Tahiti by Boat excursion from Papeete Marina
