Great Snorkeling!
The snorkeling was fantastic. (Not as good as Bora Bora though, but still great.) Our guide and captain were both awesome, too. Just note, if you're taking the ferry from Tahiti, the dock they use is on the other side of the island and they don't pick up/drop off from the ferry. So I would only recommend this tour for someone staying on Mo'orea unless you want to make an entire day out of visiting the island (renting a car, etc.).

This tour was absolutely...
This tour was absolutely fabulous and we would highly recommend this tour! Our guide T’mauve (not sure spelling) was the most knowledgeable and we learned so much about the Tahitian culture. He educated us on all the nature and all the beauty of Tahiti!

Tahitian highlights and much more!
Both Manna and Mary Jane provide excellent customer service. They are native Polynesians, know and love their island. They ensure each customer has an enjoyable experience, even stopping at Mary Jane’s Mom’s house for some homemade dried breadfruit snacks & yummy coconut cake!
They also give each customer a small sample of coconut oil and a few small sea shells. You didn’t feel rushed at the stops and Manna answered all our questions. We went to each stop as advertised seeing the lighthouse, black sand beach, waterfalls, botanical garden, remains of a Polynesian temple by the beach and fresh water cave. Even captured a beautiful Tahitian sunset!

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!

Excellent Trip
Excellent trip around the whole island of Tahiti. Tamatea was a fantastic guide pointing out every aspect of the island including educating us on the fruits and plants and traditional remedies. The stops were interesting and we feel we have a much better understanding of life here and the culture. Highly recommend.

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

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!
