    These people go above and beyond to entertain and educate guests about marine life and Tahiti. They make it a fun excursion ending with a lunch standing waist deep in crystal clear water on a sand bar. Well worth the money.

    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! 🌊🐋

    Absolutely unforgettable! Adrienne was incredibly knowledgeable and kind, Israel brought the true “Mana” (he’s 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 well—why 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 words—truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience that I’ll 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.

  • Very nice experience. We had a great time despite a little capricious weather. The team

    An unforgettable experience in the Tahiti Lagoon! Everything was perfect from start to finish 🥹 Captain Michel was at the top, professional and super friendly! Manager Teiki, incredible, warm and really invested, you feel that he deeply loves what he does. And Cédric, our guide in the water, a love! Very kind, reassuring, always listening, we felt safe throughout. We had the chance to swim with turtles and rays, it was magical 😍 The Tahitian salad was just delicious, a real treat. And finally, washing dishes with sand and seawater... it was so funny 🤣 Thank you for this unique moment, I recommend 1000%!
