5.00An absolutely beautiful and knowledgeable experience and definitely a highlight of the trip!The meeting point was easy to find, everyone was so friendly, fun, and welcoming.Many fun surprises to look forward to on the boat and very hands on! Hearing their story and sailing on the canoe that they built themselves played into making it even more of an experience. You HAVE to do this tour!! It is 100% worth it and you get to see so much of the island while meeting the best people who host so well.

5.00This was such an amazing way to spend an evening in Moorea. The water was beautiful and so was the sea life! We swam with the sharks and enjoyed a beautiful fruit platter made with all local fruits.

5.00Great wind for sailing. JR was our guide and he took us outside the reef where we had the opportunity to surf the waves back in. Great, unique sailing experience with a fabulous view of a rainbow 🌈 over the mountains and an amazing sunset. We snacked on a platter of local fruits and got to swim with sharks and pet stingrays which was awesome. As a former tour guide, I hate touristy stuff. I loved this tour because it was a raw experience without being water down by westernized over precaution. This tour is not ADA accessible. You will need to have a reasonable level of fitness to participate. It may not be ideal for small children and is probably best suited for ages 5+.
A perfect evening in Moorea

5.00Passionate and exciting. It’s simple, this trip with Raphael gives you renewed confidence in youth and the preservation of traditions. We'd never set foot on a sailboat my wife and I, and when he asked you to wedge the balm and line the sail, well, we'd look at each other stupidly. But he keeps explaining with precision, without annoyance and we find ourselves barring the domed torso with the whales grazing our nut shell. Fully homemade shell with salvage. Hats off. Superb moments assured and that knowledge shared.
Morea otherwise, reef , Lagoon in canoe skippered by 2 young local nature and very pros!

5.00Discovery of the lagoon and the exterior of the reef in a way that is far from mass tourism. Recalled and his brother native of Morea share their passion and make us live LEU passion. Raphael has made his own canoe , certified and pampered over the years. Safely, on a safe but rustic boat, and eco-designed. What happiness during these 3 hours of sailing , outings and entry of passes, whales and local juices!! The Top
