Great Value
A most interesting and enjoyable day. Our guide Tamatea (as well as proving to be an excellent driver) demonstrated an almost encyclopedic knowledge of all aspects of the island and its history, and in particular of the medicinal and nutritional values of pretty every plant or tree we saw. The generous samples of tropical fruits were a nice touch too.

Amazing Tour!
Our tour guide Mana was an awesome guide who was very knowledgeable about the island of Tahiti. There were 7 guests in his new Hyundai SUV that was immaculate. He took us to all the sites on the itinerary. Beautiful waterfalls, water gardens, sacred temple, venus point black sand beaches and so much more! He took us to a family home where they served us delicious banana crepes and gave each lady a coconut oil perfume. The personal touch was so nice. The tour was 5 hours long and well worth every minute! We highly recommend this tour!

Special connections!
Mary Jane our guide is an excellent cultural ambassador for Tahiti. We highly recommend her tour. She took us to major sites, providing lots of information about each. She even took us to her Mother's home for delicious banana crepes, a d is a descendants of the authors of the book Mutiny on the Bounty! This is the perfect tour if you only have one day.

Sunset sail
JP was an amazing host and made our sunset catamaran sail in Moorea such a memorable experience. He was friendly, welcoming, and made everyone feel comfortable from the start. The sunset sail itself was absolutely beautiful, with incredible views and such a relaxing atmosphere. JP helped make the experience feel personal, fun, and unforgettable. It was one of the highlights of our time in Moorea, and we’re so glad we booked with him. We would highly recommend JP to anyone looking for a relaxing and beautiful sunset sail while visiting Moorea!

Such a special day
Leonie is such an amazing guide! The roads that typically the tour takes, on one side of the island were unfortunately washed out due to so much rain the past few days, but Leonie still found a way to make the tour amazing for us and took another way to see some amazing scenery. She is an incredible person and taught us so much about the island and the great people here. I would not have been able to see even a quarter of what we did if not for Leonie. Thank you for this day! 😊🙏

Amazing food tour!
We so enjoyed this food tour, Heymata took us to the local spots you’d not know to stop at. Tried many new things and left with some new favorites. He was accommodating of my dietary preferences which is challenging in a group setting but was no issue with him! We would absolutely do this tour again and recommend to anyone coming to Moorea

Our Favourite location on the Planet
We took this tour from a cruise ship. The communication and organisation was excellent in the lead up. The meeting point was easy to find once we arrived on the pier via tender. Our unforgettable day commenced when we were introduced to our captain Moana who was personal, knowledgeable and highly entertaining. The day was full of Polynesian culture and hospitality with multiple opportunities for snorkeling that was outstanding with rays, reef sharks, turtles and an abundance of sea life. You will not go hungry with a delicious lunch accompanied by a selection of beverages. While eating lunch you will be entertained with some beautiful singing and ukulele playing. Whilst we didn’t want the day to end Moana had us dropped back at the pier in time for us to board our tender. This is a must do tour on your visit to Moorea. Easily 5++++++++ Stars

Highly recommend it!
I was a little nervous at first because I can’t swim. Sebastian was very kind and patient. He fed the stingrays so they followed us the whole time we were in the water. He taught us to respectful to the marine life so we can stay safe. It was an amazing experience and I highly recommend it

Absolutely incredible...
Absolutely incredible experience with the whales. Was able to get in and snorkel up close with a whale and got to see a mom with a calf breach while we were in the water. Our guide was incredible, knowledgable, and a lot of fun.
We also got to see some eagle rays on our way back. I highly recommend booking this tour.

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

Fantastic snorkeling activity!
We have snorkeled a number of times before, elsewhere around the world, but the sea scooters made this experience one of the absolute best! Our guide Sebastian gave our group thorough instructions beforehand about the equipment, which was very easy to use. Appreciated the included full-face snorkeling mask and fins. The boat took us to 3 different spots, and the marine life we saw was amazing. Fantastic experience all around!
