Our captain and guide were both the friendliest and hospitable people we have ever met. They truly shared the beauty of Moorea with us and won us over with their kindness. The tour itself was amazing, the boat was so comfortable. I appreciated the small and intimate group setting. Would definitely recommend and would definitely come back!!

This was an excellent snorkelling trip. The boat only holds 14 people and has lovely comfortable lounges. We were watching other boats loaded with people and crammed in. Not on our boat... comfort plusp
We had the best time on this cruise The captain was very knowledgeable and helpful and the transfer from the cruise ship was perfect
Thank you Nono for a once in lifetime experience. We saw and swam with rays and sharks, and saw turtles and of course so many beautiful fish. the crew was kind and helpful to make the experience accessible to all of us... even the not so great swimmers. truly a magical experience.
This was honestly the most incredible snorkelling tour on a fantastic and comfortable boat. Nono was a stupendous guide and captain, the highlight of our trip was definitely swimming with the sharks and rays. If you're looking for a quality and relaxing snorkelling trio, we recommend this tour.
My friends and I had a great time. Saw lots of reef sharks, rays, and coral reef fish. I would definitely recommend this snorkeling trip!
It was a lovely morning- we swam with the stingray and sharks. The guides were great and encouraged everyone to join in the experience.
The boat was super comfortable BUT they were having difficulty with the engine of the boat and worked on it at all the stops !! We sat at the dock for 45 mins before we left and it continued to stall out the whole excursion !! Also smelled like gas and oil . We were very disappointed and it shortened the length of our trip !!!
Highly recommend this boat and team. Extraordinary experience we will remember forever. Thankyou again for your gracious service and looking after our family
Beautiful experience! Saw so much cool sea life (rays, sharks, fish, turtles, coral, etc.) The boat was quite nice, especially sitting on the upper deck. The cold juices and pineapple slices were a nice touch. Staff was very friendly and funny.
The tour was fine. If you’ve already done a lagoon tour in Bora Bora, I’d probably skip this one.
What really brought this review down was the meeting location. It’s in an alley, and once you arrive you have to walk down to where the boat is, which is completely fine. The problem is that there were several large stray dogs roaming the area without collars or leashes.
One of the dogs attacked my wife and badly injured her leg after we got off the boat. The tour guides did their best to clean the wound, but there wasn’t really any solution or assistance beyond that.
We’ve traveled to more than 30 countries and have never experienced anything like this, so it’s not as though we were being careless. I hope the operator addresses the safety of the meeting area so future guests don’t have to go through the same experience.
Great trip and good for kids; they'll love the water slide. Fresh pineapple, guava, and bananas were cut for a snack.
Very friendly crew. Nice boat with shade. Small number of passengers. Really fun time. Loved snorkeling in several spots and swimming with reef sharks and rays. Super fun!
We had a great time and the staff were so kind. My husband had back surgery in March and they helped him get in and out of the boat. We saw stingrays, reef sharks and sea turtles. I highly recommend this excursion!!!
This is a must do activity at Moorea! There are multiple colors of the ocean. You just cannot believe what you see!! Highly recommended and it was amazing with nice staffs
We had an amazing time on this 3-hour snorkeling tour in Moorea! The hosts were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and made everyone feel comfortable from the moment we arrived. The activities were well organized, fun, and gave us the opportunity to experience the beautiful marine life and crystal-clear waters that Moorea is known for.
The guides were knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and clearly passionate about sharing the island's natural beauty. Everything was handled professionally, and the entire experience exceeded our expectations.
If you're visiting Moorea and looking for a memorable snorkeling adventure, I would highly recommend this tour. It was one of the highlights of our trip!
We thoroughly enjoyed our 3 hour snorkeling tour! The boat was top notch, our guides were super friendly and knowledgeable. They loved sharing info about beautiful Moorea and the places they showed us. We swam with sharks, petted rays, saw sea turtles and amazing fish on the tour. We can highly recommend this tour for people wanting a good look at some of the beauty of Moorea and it's sea life.
Great, easy going tour on a very comfortable boat! Nono and Temae were kind, hospitable and we would absolutely go out with them again.
This by far was an excellent tour. Nono and his right hand man were the best. The tritoon patio boat was spacious and very clean. Had an upper deck which was a while different look up there. We swam with sharks, stingrays and saw lots of turtles. I would highly recommend using this company for any excursion.
From Start to Finish we were spoiled. The boat was amazing, so comfortable and plenty of space. . Our crew "NoNo and Yesyes" made sure we had everything we needed. They even prepared a beautiful fresh fruit platter for us We would definitely use this company again. It was better than we expected.
Was a fantastic excursion! The boat was great.
Nono and the other guide I can’t remember his name but I will call him yes yes were very kind knowledgable, funny and made our experience the number tour we did in the French Polynesian Islands. Highly recommend this tour!!
A little more expensive than other operators but a lot more included. 12 passengers only, heaps of room on 2 desks, drinks and fruit included, waterside included.
Comfortable boat, friendly crew, great snorkeling. Swimming with stingrays and sharks was great fun. Highly recommend this trip.
fantastic snorkelling tour from start to finish. We were visiting from the UK as a family of four, with our 13- and 11-year-olds, and it suited all of us perfectly. The hosts were excellent—friendly, organised, and clearly passionate about what they do—and made everyone feel at ease.
The boat itself was spacious and comfortable, with a limited number of guests, which made the whole experience feel relaxed rather than crowded. We were lucky enough to see multiple manta rays and plenty of sharks, which was a real highlight. The final stop around the coral was incredible, with dozens of different fish species—easily the most vibrant snorkelling spot of the trip.
We also saw turtles coming up to take breaths; while you’re not allowed in the water with them (as they’re protected), the views from the boat—both lower and upper decks—are still brilliant. Fresh fruit platters and soft drinks were provided, which was a lovely touch.
Overall, a really well-run, memorable experience that we’d highly recommend for families.
Can't recommend this company enough. We have used them twice. Nice spacious boat that only takes a small number of people. There was no over crowding. They porvide beverages and local fruits. This snorkeling trip was the highlight of their trip to Moorea.
Exactly as the description. The crew were super friendly and made the trip enjoyable even more. The boat is very comfortable for small kids
We really enjoyed our morning. The fancy boat provided shade and comfort. Small group only about 10 of us. The two guides were knowledgeable and very friendly. We saw turtles, sharks, manta rays and a lot of other fish. Definitely recommend this operator.
This was a nice morning snorkel trip. We snorkeled in 2 areas and saw many tropical fish. We also went to an area where we saw a lot of green turtles but could not snorkel there. They were good hosts and served us fresh fruit, coconut, and fresh juices and showed us how to open a coconut!
The tour was great! We saw stingrays, sharks, turtles, so many beautiful fish, and obviously stunning scenery. The crew was lovely and the small group size was perfect!
Trip highlight! Took the family, youngest 2, and all had a great time. The boat ride alone seeing the spectacular blue water and scenery is worthwhile. Then to swim with rays and sharks, see the turtles and a snorkel stop between two small islands provided a great combination of activities. Our guides, Nono and Tema, were fun, kind and interactive. They hosted us to some delicious fresh fruits and a coconut cracking demo. Fairly priced and full of fun!
This was a wonderful tour on a beautiful, comfortable boat, kind of like a living room on the water. The crew/guides, Nono and Tema, were friendly and informative, getting us settled and letting us know right away what the plans were for the day. We glided away from the dock through beautiful waters around the northwest side of Moorea. We stopped a while to snorkel with sharks and rays, then continued to Opunohu Bay, where Tema explained some of the history and topography of the island. Next we traveled to a motu where we had plenty of time to explore the nearby coral gardens. Upon returning to the boat we found a platter of delicious freshly cut tropical fruit waiting for us. A short distance away we visited an area where green sea turtles hang out. We stayed for a while watching them diving and surfacing for air.
Between the scenery, the water and the excellent guides we had an absolutely amazing day!
Thank you!
