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!!

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.
Theresa_W, May 2026
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.
JJ_E, May 2026
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.
Lynn_H, May 2026
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!!
Warren_S, Apr 2026
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.
Sarah_M, Apr 2026
Comfortable boat, friendly crew, great snorkeling. Swimming with stingrays and sharks was great fun. Highly recommend this trip.
Neil_C, Apr 2026
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.
Rachelle_M, Apr 2026
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.
Shiran_M, Apr 2026
Exactly as the description. The crew were super friendly and made the trip enjoyable even more. The boat is very comfortable for small kids
carrie_s, Apr 2026
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.
KATHLEEN_S, Mar 2026
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!
Amy_C, Mar 2026
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!
Rhonda_A, Feb 2026
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!
Donna_T, Feb 2026
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!
JennyandPaul_A, Feb 2026
We were picked up promptly. When we had questions, they were answered promptly.
We had a great time snorkeling in Moorea!
Jill_T, Feb 2026
The boat-pontoon made this trip a 5. It was beautiful!! And new!! There were only 10 people on board along with 2 crew. They were I formative and fun. We saw turtles, rays, black tip sharks and lots of fish. The coconut demo was awesome as was the fruit tray snack. This was a perfect day ….. with one exception. The snorkel gear was soooo crappy. It was cheap and worn out. Bring your own snorkel!!
Our guides were NoNo and Tema. Both were great!
Karen_L, Feb 2026
We had a fantastic few hours on this boat. Nono and Tete were great tour guides. We swam with mana rays and sharks ( everyone but me who jumped back on the boat when one came close 🙃) Others enjoyed though. Saw sea turtles and snorkeled in the coral. We had fresh fruit and coconut at the end. Really nice boat. Highly recommend.
Lori_L, Feb 2026
This was an exceptional experience. The boat was super comfortable and the crew were amazing. If I could rate this 6/5 I would. Highly recommend booking with this company. Their staff is amazing and really make the day great.
WANGKAN_L, Jan 2026
We fully enjoyed the tour and felt a VIP service from the tour company. The boat is beautiful and the captain and his helper were friendly and helpful. The price was reasonable for someone who just want a short snorkeling trip.
Fabian_L, Jan 2026
Our tour was great! Very small group - 12 max. Guide spoke good English and provided a great deal of good information. Did some cruising with stops at 2 locations - one primarily for snorkeling and the other to swim (stand up in shallow water) with the stingrays, reef sharks, and other fish. Highly recommended this tour.
Colleenruss93, Jan 2026
This tour was amazing. The staff, Touke and his captain, were extremely knowledgeable and friendly. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour and would highly recommend it.
Lindy_M, Dec 2025
It was well organised on a beautiful boat but when getting to the meeting point there’s no signage so look out for someone who will be waiting there.
Smitha_g, Dec 2025
We travelled as a family of 9 with 3 small kids. They were very accommodating and helped guide beginner snorkelers as well. We saw a lovely coral garden, kids had great fun jumping off the slide. They served us a lot of fresh fruits and served us drinks whenever we needed them. Great experience. Highly recommend.
Briony_S, Dec 2025
Honestly one of the best excursions we’ve done. Firstly I’d like to say the hosts were incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. I was very poorly and I wasn’t able to make the excursion on the day we booked and they were more than happy to rearrange for us once I was better. From start to finish, they were truly exceptional and professional. They assisted in getting the rays to swim to up to you, which was amazing. They really make sure you have the best time. Not only this, they serve you a fresh fruit platter, which was unreal and cold drinks are onboard too. If I ever come back to FP, I’ll definitely be using them again for a snorkelling tour.
Thank you guys, you were the best.
Michelle_E, Dec 2025
Comfortable and nice boat. I’ve done this snorkel trip before but it included hotel pickup at the hotel dock. Nono and Tema were so nice and hospitable and I enjoyed their stories and the info they provided. The fruit platter was yummy and included my faves papaya, pink guava and banana. They even did a “How to husk and open a coconut” demonstration. It was nice relaxing boat ride with beautiful views.
Only hiccup:
Tip: the meeting place looks like a closed brown gate with the words Te Mare Fihi on the gate. It looked like someone’s house( I wasn’t sure if I was in the right place). The gate was closed and I kept knocking and trying to open the gate. The people that were attending the tour already inside didn’t say anything and just made me stand out there knocking while I tried to call Viator to clarify why there was no one there for a good 10 min to open the door thinking I was not in the right place. I had to wait 15 min u til Nono and ate an opened the gate. I wished the people wiaiting for the tour watching and listening to me knock would have said something even through they spoke a different language. I almost left because I didn’t think I was in the right place.
Recommendations: have a small sign in the front saying just wait until we open the gate for you. Or have the people that work at that hotel at least say something to the people on the outside of the gate to wait so they don’t feel like they are in the wrong place

Great tour! Nice length—enough time to enjoy each place and see thing but not so long that the kid get cranky. Definitely bring water/reef sores if you have them. Also, water quite shallow in most places but if traveling with a smaller child helpful to have a well fitting child life vest. We were glad to have it in one area with stronger currents and some areas where we couldn’t touch the bottom.
Myra_J, Nov 2025
Amazing experience! The luxury boat was clean and comfortable - plenty of space for our small group. Our guides arrived at the rays/sharks before other tour groups came and gave us ample time at each location. We were very impressed with our guides' friendliness and knowledge.
Excellent value for what we got and one of the highlights of our trip.
