Small group, top safety and animals respected. The efficient launching system makes the exit easy and pleasant. We were able to share magical moments with whales and even eagle rays. A memorable day with Teiki between ocean and lagoon! ๐๐

Absolutely unforgettable! Adrienne was incredibly knowledgeable and kind, Israel brought the true โManaโ (heโs basically a whale whisperer!), and Teiki took such wonderful care of us. We were lucky enough to see spinning dolphins and several whales, and they explained everything so wellโwhy we approached the way we did and how to respect the animals. The highlight was finding a mother and calf. We swam close enough that we actually had to back away to avoid touching them. Being in the water with these gentle giants was beyond wordsโtruly a once-in-a-lifetime experience that Iโll never forget!

Clean and comfortable boat. Snorkling equipment and quality combination. Staff warm and with little care. I really liked raw coconut milk fish, local chips and Tahitian beer. Lots of interesting information and especially beautiful encounters with fish, rays and turtles.

What an amazing adventure! This snorkeling excursion will live in my memory. From the moment we board, we feel that we will have a unique moment: the team welcomes us with a smile, the atmosphere is relaxed and festive, and the decor is simply heavenly. The guide and the captain who is also a cook and even a DJ in his spare time immediately set the tone: benevolence, humor, and passion for their island. Weโve all gone through more beautiful spots: crystal clear waters, colorful corals, majestic turtles, dancing rays... Weโve even explored a mysterious sunken plane wreck, like in a movie! After all these highlights in the water, place for lunch break on board: tasty Tahitian salad, ultra fresh raw fish with coconut milk, soft drinks, and all to music with a breathtaking view of the lagoon. The atmosphere was just perfect. Itโs much more than a snorkeling trip, itโs an immersion in the magic of Tahiti with a team at the top. Frankly, a flawless one from start to finish. I recommend with your eyes closed โ prepare for a timeless moment.
