Wonderful sunset trip along the coast in a small group
It was a wonderful trip along the coast into the sunset. We liked doing this with a small group. Captain Sebastian was great and told us a lot about the area. We loved the mai tais during the sailing.
It was a wonderful experience and we really can recommend it!!

Driver/Guide made the tour excellent.
Wonderful afternoon. Our driver and guide, Mary Jane, was very knowledgeable. Made for a very enjoyable day. Only 6 people in our group made it a lot more comfortable. I have some difficulty walking but was able to participate at almost every stop.
Highly recommend!!

A fun and memorable day
This tour took us to the interior of the island and covered a lot of territory. Unfortunately it POURED almost the entire day so we weren't able to see much, BUT we all still had a great time, filled with laughter (while riding around) and enjoyed the information we learned at the stops. We also ended up with a flat tire near the end of our trip, but the guide, two people from our group, and a few men that were in a passing truck stopped by and had it changed in no time. I didn't realize it, but I was black and blue on my butt a few days later from the constant bumps (which my Fitbit counted at 19,000+ steps!)...but it was worth it for the day - just wish we had a little less heavy rain so we could have gotten out a bit more.

Highly recommend
What a great informative, fun, and authentic tour, this is how all. Foodie tourism should be done - highlighting and encouraging the existing local tastes, unique cuisine, and popular though casual outlets. Comfortable transport, great views, and knowledgeable chef-led foodie tour. What more could one ask for?

INCREDIBLE MOST BEAUTIFUL private snorkel cruise - MUST DO if you want to be away from crowds/ cruise tours
This was the most incredible day, if you want to see the beauty of Moorea from a catamaran, privately, away from other tourists, and this is the cruise for you. Beyond phenomenal, we were able to sail ( not motor) out to our first snorkeling spot where we were able to swim with sharks, yes, they are safe, and stingray. Our next stop was amazing and my favorite out amongst the coral garden. Our tour guide was very caring as he spoke lovingly about the coral and how to preserve it and keep it alive and beautiful. The colors were amazing. I had no idea that there were coral that were purple and blue and the fish, I’ve never seen so many species in one place. It was beyond beautiful, our last snorkel spot was to look and learn about the underwater volcanic stone statues created in 1998 by artist Tihoti Guy. Simple beautiful. Having a day on the water with these great guys ( Henri- Luca and our guide ❤️) I will remember with joy this experience the rest ouf my life . MUST DO

Simply the best! If you only do one thing in Moorea it HAS to be this!
There are not enough words in the dictionary to express how wonderful this tour was! Stefan and his crew went out of their way to make our day unforgettable! The magic began as soon as we left the dock ….the crew shared interesting facts about Moorea and then proceeded to serenade us with their beautiful singing accompanied by the joyful ukulele and bongo drum! The snorkeling was brilliant with stingrays, reef sharks and fish in abundance. The lunch was delicious. The boat very comfortable. There was plenty of time to have multiple snorkeling sessions, some turtle spotting, coconut harvesting and Polynesian craft. I had my 88yr old mother with me and Stefan & his crew (I’m kicking myself I don’t recall the names of his team!) treated her like royalty! The whole day was absolutely brilliant! I will be retuning to Australia and telling everyone if they are visiting Moorea they MUST do this tour! You will not be disappointed I promise you! 10 stars out of 5!!

Witty, warm guide, personalized tour in smaller vehicle (van)
This is a small group tour so very flexible & personalized. Our guide Angel was so good- witty, talkative, helpful and made us all feel welcome as family! if you take the afternoon tour, expect to extend a while past five hours… which we enjoyed and caught the sunset.

10/10 Must Try!
One of the best experiences we have had in Moorea and ATV beginners! AE was such a delightful tour guide, bringing big smiles to our faces and sharing insightful knowledge of the island every stop of the tour, whilst documenting the tour with epic photos for us!
The course was amazing! Great for first-timers. You get an amazing view of the island from the bottom to the top, as well as through the pineapple plantations which were fun to see!
We highly recommend doing this activity and starting your day with some beautiful scenes and the best tour guide - thank you AE!

Jet Ski tour was highlight of our trip. Plan ahead for weather.
The jet ski tour was super! We did the three hour tour with our family of four including two kids 10 & 11 yo. Mom had not driven a jet ski before and was aprhensivie, but our guide Tiki was helpful and within about 5 minutes of training we were on our way over crystal blue waters in Moorea like something out of a movie. We snorkleded near Coco Beach and another area where we were able to swim with reef sharks and rays. The sharks from what we read and heard are not dangerous in this area. Everyone agreed this was the highlight of our trip in Moorea. Things to know - we travelled in December the rainy season, so our trip was canceled the first try due to rain. We rescheduled and luckily got in before we left. The staff is very helpful and communicates promptly on WhatsApp. They provide masks, but bring snorkel if you have it, change of clothes and dry bag for phone. Rest you can keep at their launching area. Activities get booked quickly so try to plan your schedule soon in you vacation. if you are very risk averse you may prefer the boat ride instead of Jet Ski, though it was a very fun experience for us.

Lifetime experience
Lifetime experience. Sebastian and the captain were very nice. They took us to amazing lagoons, we saw many different fishes, shark, turtle, stingray. With the sea scooters was easy to dive in and not to get tired. They made professional video and photos for us. It was amazing. And very good price. Thank you for the everyring.

Perfect day!!
Could not have asked for a better day! Our captain Mahai and guide Kevin made the day extremely enjoyable and know exactly how to get as close as possible to the whales. If the weather permits they will get you there. We were lucky enough to get to see a mother whale and her baby extremely close while we were in the water with them it was a breathtaking experience when we would never forget thank you again to our captain and guide.

Once in a lifetime experience
This was so awesome. It was like being in a National Geographic documentary. We got literally feet away from some and spent almost 1/2 hour in one spot observing 2 humpback whales up close.
Some words of caution. These are huge animals! It was quite overwhelming (at least initially) seeing them this close! You also need to be able to swim quickly as the boats can only get with in a few hundred yards and you’ll need to quickly and quietly swim up to them before they leave the area. The guide (Mari) was so patient and kind. We’d definitely do this again
