All Papeete Tours & Excursions in 2026

Not only are you entertained by the captain and the cook on this outrigger tour, but you’re treated to an encounter with sting rays, sharks, and turtles. All with a lively boat ride and a feast in a shallow crystal cove. Great way to see the beauty that is Moorea!

Really good time and great snorkeling! Anna and Captain were a pleasure to spend the morning with and weather was good. Saw lots of Black tip Sharks and Stingrays. Very easy snorkeling as two of three locations were shallow enough for inexperienced snorkelers. Thank you Taboo!!!!

Wow - what an incredible experience we had. In short, it was so incredible, we booked to go again! Communication with the whole team was great from the moment we booked. We booked this tour with Teiki and his captain for the end of September. We were picked up and dropped off from the Hilton dock, so we only had to walk 50 metres from our hotel room - very easy. Only ten minutes after collecting the other guests from Papeete town we were jumping into the sea and swimming towards a male humpback. The singing of the whale was such an emotional experience - the power and vibration shook your body. The whale then ascended up to the surface passing close by us before proceeding onwards. We had an excellent view. Teiki then took us to a coral reef and to eagle ray rock, where we saw a large group of eagle rays. It was so good, we booked to do it again a week later! The second time, it was like an investigation. We spent some time scouting for a whale, where we had seen two surface fairly close to us but unfortunately, as we were the fourth boat, we couldn’t stay or swim. Time was running out and we were happy that we had at least seen two whales. Teiki then saw a whale in the distance with two boats, meaning we could get in and snorkel. We joined the other boats and saw their tour leaders bring their groups into the sea and swim into the distance quite far away. As I grabbed my mask, Teiki said to stay on the boat and wait, as he felt the others were going the wrong way and that the whale would surface nearer to us. Once again, his experience showed itself, as a mere few metres away, the whale surfaced. Once it had settled back under, we hopped off and snorkelled toward it ensuring we kept a safe distance. It then surfaced again, but ascending extremely close to us giving an incredible view better than our wildest dreams. Definitely the highlight of our trip! Thanks again!

We had an amazing day with Vetea. He was fantastic and so knowledgeable. The tour was exactly as advertised. When it started raining he provided umbrellas for us. Let us stop to pick up snacks. He was so welcoming and kind. A great representative of the island.

Amazing experience swimming with a baby and Mama whale brought me to tears. I highly recommend this company as they were experienced and very respectful of these beautiful mammals.. Our Captain Mahe and our guide Kevin were top notch and made our adventure such a fantastic success. We Thank you, Thank you, Thank you for our extraordinary memories. Mauruuru

The jet ski tour was fantastic. While I've gone jet skiing before, it was nice to take a tour of the bays and other areas. Being able to go through certain areas that are smaller/narrower for boats was nice. Because the water is fairly calm in most areas, it was easy to go fast and keep up. We were able to see turtles, dolphins, stingrays, and even a couple of smaller reef sharks. Our guide was great and he gave us good advice on kayaking and took us to spots that were less crowded so we could be in the water without feeling like you had 100 other people on you. He also took all good amount of pictures, that they upload for you on FB. I think it was a good value for the amount of time you get to spend on the water. Having only 5 people (3 jet skis total) was so great. Just note that there are some spots where it might get slightly rough waters, but nothing to crazy. Safety is not an issue as you have all the gear and they make sure you're following at a good distance. Overall I'd recommend this to anyone that's looking to be on the water and want to explore with a personal craft.

We had an amazing day with Captain Vai and our tour guide Louis!! We did a private half day charter and loved every minute of it! We swam with sharks, stingrays, and turtles, and Louis guided us on one of the best snorkel experiences of our lives, where we found many unique shells and experienced some incredible reefs.

The trip was fantastic - we saw a part of the island that it seems is much less traveled. Based on what I saw there was maybe 100 people a day that take this trip. Vaitea was an excellent host - friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating- we had a mixed group - my family spoke mainly English, another spoke mainly French, and a couple with the husband speaking mainly English but the wife fluent in both French and English. Vaitea was able to accommodate all of us seamlessly and had great energy! I would certainly recommend having the top off of the truck so you have the full panoramic view. Loved seeing the eels which proved to my family they exist after a visit to Source de Vaima the day prior where we didn’t see any!
