I cannot begin to express my appreciation for this tour and company. I was unaware that the pick up was only for 2+ people and they were very kind and agreed to pick me up even though it was only me which just made me feel more comfortable as a solo traveler on her first international solo trip. Seriously so grateful.
The tour itself was incredible. Wilfred was exceptional. Friendly, funny, very social and inclusive. He made us feel like a small family. I kissed a stingray, swam with sharks, ate raw fish for the first time in 20 years and it was amazing. They also had a full barbecue if the poisson cru was not your thing (but try it. It was stellar and I’m NOT a fish person). We tried fresh shaved coconut, coconut water, and fresh squeezed coconut milk. Watched the poisson cru get prepared. Learned about herbs and how to make hats out of palms and how to tie a sarong.
Wilfred also actively ensured everyone had great photos and was having fun. He was very kind and attentive. Not to mention the best driver I’ve ever seen. He was able to entertain, manage the boat, and play ukulele.
I was fully ready to walk and or have to find my own taxi home but they already had the service waiting for us when we docked. The driver also dropped me off first so I could catch the 3:25pm ferry and not wait for the later one. Again, so grateful for the service. The trip was beautiful, well planned, and just overall breathtaking. Thank you so much for the best tour I’ve been on during my trip. Definitely a can’t miss tour! I left with great memories, lots of photos, and a very cool palm hat. Thank you x100000000

We had an amazing day snorkeling! We got to swim with stingrays and black tip reef sharks. We even saw a Moray Eel. We got drinks and fresh fruit then continued on to a coral garden. We then had an amazing lunch on the beach and learned more about the Polynesian culture. It was a fantastic day, highlight of our trip, and we’d definitely recommend it!
What can I say. Nolte made a delicious cervice, made hats and showed how to rap my girlfriend in the most exquisite robe. A man of many trades.

When I booked ,was given wrong date, charged for tour while I was at sea and not available, when I arrived was not given avtour,as all were fully booked. Very disappointed.
Response from Host, Oct 2026
Ia Ora Na Dan. As you know your situation resulted of a booking date error on Viator's platform. Please note that only you can choose your date on Viator.
We would have been truly delighted to welcome you on board.
On our side, everything was prepared for your arrival : we had indeed reserved your 2 seats on board for the date indicated in your Viator booking and scheduled your pick-up at the ferry dock as requested. We sent you messages and made calls. We paid for a taxi to pick you up at the ferry dock, and the driver waited for you for 15 minutes. We tried to reach you multiple times but received no response.
In any case, we wish you all the best for the future.

We booked this because of the reviews and it was 100% the right choice. Wilfred was the best guide. Super funny and knowledgeable. The guides played instruments, we had the best ceviche(poisson de le cru), the food was incredible. Snorkeling was amazing! Overall it was just an amazing experience.
Amazing tour! We had such fun day in the most beautiful places. Nolte went above and beyond for us with each step of the tour and we would recommend 100%!

We were a group of 9 friends and had the most fantastic day. Mana was a great captain and took us to quiet places for snorkeling and to swim with the rays and sharks. The beach experience of coconut opening and grating was great fun and the lunch was authentic. I would recommend this excursion to anyone wanting to spend a beautiful day in Moorea

Captain Wilfred is the best — our tour was full of music, laughter, and knowledge. Throughout the journey, Wilfred must have spun his magic, as we were delighted to see spinner dolphins, black tip reef sharks, stingrays, reef fish, jack fish, and turtles — some spotted from the boat, others while snorkelling over beautiful coral gardens and white sandy bays. Lunch was generous, fresh, and delicious, with something for everyone — perfect for us and our 9 year old too. His poisson cru demonstration was fun and fascinating to watch. This tour didn't just make our trip — it sealed it with a high!

It was a pleasure having you and your family on board. Mauruuru roa, and we hope to see you again in beautiful Moorea! 🌺
Entertaining, educational, fun, and refreshing! This was such an immersive experience. The boat was beautiful and well kept, our guide (Nolte) was funny and serious about sharing Tahitian traditions. Nolte told us about the mountains/names/meanings and more! We shopped for coconuts while driving out to our swim/snorkel with the rays and black tip sharks. Nolte talked of his family and grandmother learning from them. We stopped for a Tahitian lunch on an island and the food was made by our guides (we were 3 boats). The food was delicious! We were entertained learning how to hull and open a coconut, how a hat can be made with palm leaves, 20 ways to wear a sarong and more! We then went to another lagoon to snorkel before heading back to the dock. Amazing day!!
Response from Host, Sep 2026
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted you had such an immersive and memorable day with Nolte and our team. It was a pleasure sharing Tahitian culture, traditions, food, and the beauty of our lagoon with you. We hope to welcome you back again soon! Mauruuru roa 🌺
Great tour, first part is a tour then snorkeling then lunch. Elvis and Nolte were great. Fantastic food and beautiful fish.

Thank you so much for your lovely review! 🌺 We’re thrilled you enjoyed the tour, snorkeling, and lunch. Elvis and Nolte will be happy to hear your kind words! Māuruuru and we hope to welcome you back to Moorea soon!
Will and Elvis were great. They clearly love this island and are very knowledgable. They really seemed to enjoy telling us about the island and culture. The whole day was relaxing and enjoyable. I’m
a bit of a freak about food safety and watching him
make the ceviche was a challenge but all was good in the end. We are American and gladly gave them tips when we left. Felt bad none of the other 10 non Americans on the boat felt the need to tip. These are hard working men. Glad we could show our appreciation.
Response from Host, Sep 2026
Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re thrilled to hear that you had such a wonderful day with Will and Elvis and enjoyed discovering more about our island and culture. We also truly appreciate your generosity and support toward our team. It means a lot to us! 🌺
Mauruuru roa!!
We booked this excursion as a way to experience the water around Moorea, and it turned out to be the highlight of our 5 days there! When you arrive, you can park alongside the pier (don't park on the main road that goes around the island). They will show up at 8am sharp to whisk you away.
On this adventure, they stopped in both bays and gave us an overview of each one. We saw Spinner Dolphins jumping out of the water in Cooks Bay and on the way back, we saw whales in Opunohu Bay. We then rode off to the snorkel area to swim with black tip reef sharks and sting rays and plethora of fish. This was an incredible experience and a great way to experience the marine life there. Afterwards, we rode to a private motu to do some more snorkeling in the lagoon. We then ate traditional poisson cru, husked coconuts, and earned some braded palm leaf hats!
Our guide, Noti, was incredible and a joy to be around for the duration of the excursion. I cannot recommend this excursion enough for anyone who is looking to experience a top tier snorkeling adventure, great food, and an unreal experience you won't soon forget. If you have any hesitations, but those aside and just book it! You won't regret it!

I had a wonderful snorkel experience with this tour and our humorous guide. Beautiful day, lots of coral, fish, sting rays and tiny sharks. The fresh tuna made with sea salt and lime was amazing! I love the hat he made me out of traditional palm leaves and who knew the appropriate way to open a coconut with a stick! Also met new friends on the 6 hour boat trip together. Highly recommend!

One of the best tours of any excursion i’ve ever done in my entire life. We got lucky and saw a humpback whale with its calf, and a dolphin with its baby in/near cooks bay as well.

We loved our snorkeling tour in Moʻorea! The whole experience from start to finish was amazing. From the guides, to learning more about Tahiti/Moʻorea, the food, and everything in between. If you are ever in Moʻorea I cannot recommend this experience more. It was definitely the highlight of our trip. We were all saying that we would love to do it again when we come back :)

We have traveled a lot and Tahiti just wasn't my favorite trip overall, however this was what we liked the most about it. It is amazing swimming with the sharks and stingrays. If you do anything at all on your trip here do this!

If I had one day in Moorea this is how I would spend it. Best homemade rum punch & custom palm leaf hat by our tour guide Wilfred! He even gave us tips how to dry the hat so we could bring it back to the US (it worked!). Very thorough and thoughtful trip. It was a great way to spend time and explore Moorea!!!

This was a phenomenal experience I cannot recommend this enough. Starting with being picked up in cool boats. We had live music- singing, playing ukulele, and drumming. The driver picked up coconuts as we rode around the island. Amazing views. We got to pet a string ray and swim with sharks. It was wonderful. Then we had lunch on the beach. He made fresh poisson cru (ceviche). He showed us how to open the coconut, we drank the water, then we used the coconut as a bowl to eat from. The food was delicious. We had a tasty lunch of chicken, fish, curry rice, taro, and more! Then he showed us how to make hats and we learned about plants. It was really an incredible day! One of the best tours I've ever experienced.

Māuruuru roa for your wonderful review! 🌺 We're so happy to hear this was the best tour you've ever done. We can't wait to welcome you back on your next trip to Tahiti. See you again soon!
This tour is was great! We got picked up from the Sofitel and was taken to the dock to meet up with the group. We had 11 people but plenty of room for everyone. A great way to start our stay at Moorea by seeing the island from the water. The stops for snorkeling were fun, got to see black tip sharks and stingrays. Wilfred was entertaining, knowledgeable and loved sharing the French Polynesian culture. He made banana leaf hats for the ladies, had a nice lunch on the moth, and some cultural lessons along the way. Definitely recommend!
Response from Host, Jul 2026
Mauruuru for sharing your experience! We are glad you enjoyed a true Polynesian day on the lagoon with Wilfred and our team. We look forward to seeing you again in Moorea! 🌺
