Was a beautiful and relaxing experience. Our guide was great and it made for a great experience! We saw many snorkel spots that weren’t crowded and were able to relax on the catamaran

Tour company never showed and still waiting for refund 20+ days later!

Destini_A, Oct 2024

Tour company never showed up for tour. They didn't call, email or cancell. Just left me hanging. Still waiting for a refund from Viator.

The activity was canceled...

Qiong_W, Mar 2023

The activity was canceled the last minute without heads-up. Even if it is due to the weather condition, it would be nice to get a message from the operator. I am waiting for the full refund to be processed.

Response from Host, Apr 2023

We apologize for this inconvenient. Let us know if you had any issues with your refund and we will check with viator. Thank you.

Great experience!

We thought this tour was a gem! Cool guide that took us to experience some really great things in the sail boat. Shared his knowledge as well. We had a great morning.

Great way to see the island from the sea. Stopped at multiple snorkel spots including swimming and feed Stringrays. Would highly recommend.

Response from Host, Aug 2019

Many thank .it was pleasure to show you Moorea .

Very COOL.

gary_w, Aug 2019

Seems to be a very experienced captain / sailor, you are in good hands & way better than being with 10-30 other people. More personal & very relaxed, & the most authentic, best looking boat out there. The four of us ( with an18 & 15 yr old ) had a great time. Thanks Herve.

Response from Host, Aug 2019

Many thank for your comment. It was a pleasure to Cruise with your family and show you Moorea. See you next Time

Balade sur le polynésien spirit

jnbillaud, Dec 2019

Hervé est un super guide, il est très intéressant. Le charme de Moorea combiné à la balade sur sa pirogue polynésienne fait de cette activité un must to do. C’est aussi très plaisant de se trouver en petit comité sur son bateau à la place de grosses usines à touristes (20-30 par bateau).
