Exceptional! Things to Do in Moorea

5.00A huge thank you to JR, Sean and Jade for an unforgettable afternoon aboard the beautiful Vaapiti canoe! This experience in Moorea was simply magical. The crew made us discover with passion the traditional Polynesian navigation and the wonders of the lagoon. We hoisted the sails together and enjoyed incredible sensations on the water, in a heavenly setting. The best part: we had the chance to see turtles and swim with sharks, rays and a multitude of beautiful fish and witnessed a spectacular sunset! An exceptional adventure, authentic and full of good humor. We leave with incredible memories. Mauruuru roa 🌺 Emily & William

5.00Rafael was an amazing captain! This experience was incredible for my family of 4. We loved holding onto the line, snorkeling in the water, with the boat powered by the wind! This was an afternoon we will never forget! Traveling outside of the reef was beautiful and the pod of spinner dolphins swimming underneath our feet was absolutely magical! Thank you so much!
To do without hesitation!

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.

Tahiti in the Raw

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
