The tour excursion was more than we expected. Both physically and figuratively. We might have been just a bit too old for them. Our guide was great though. He seen our needs and made sure we were taken care of. We got to stop to snorkel where we seen sharks, sting rays, and a mass variety of other ocean inhabitants. The kayaks are exactly as pictured. Was really need to glide over the coral and reefs. Bad weather was moving in and our guide got us back just before the downpour. After we all sat under a pavilion waiting for our rides where the guide had great conversation and spoke English well. I would definitely recommend this to my fit friends.

We had an absolute joy on this excursion kayaking around Moorea! Our guide was incredible and fun to be with during the duration of our trip. We kayaked a total of ~2 miles, with a stop along the way in shallow water for a juice tasting that the guide had brought with him. We then rode off to the snorkeling area where we were able to jump in and swim around with sharks and sting rays. I highly recommend this for anyone looking for a bit of exercise with a great view and fun time around the water!

Thank you so much. We’re delighted you had such a great time with our guide and enjoyed this beautiful adventure around Moorea, from kayaking and snorkeling to the fresh juice tasting! Mauruuru
It was a relaxing way to view a lot of fish! Our guide, Hugo knew just where to take us to avoid the strong current and to see lots of fish!

This was one of my favorite things we did in Moorea. We opted for the sunset clear bottom kayaking and snorkeling. The kayaks are for 2 people, but we had an uneven number so I was alone. It was a little difficult alone because of the current but I pushed on and our guide helped me about halfway through but offered from the start. We kayaked for a bit and stopped for drinks in a shallow spot and we were offered rum with mango juice or NA pineapple juice. After that we headed toward the area where sharks, rays, and some fish like the hang out at. This was the best part! I thought I would be scared but the animals couldn’t care less that you are swimming with them. It was magical to see them in their natural habitat like that, all the creatures are so gorgeous. If you think you’ll be nervous just test out standing by kayaks, the spot we go is shallow enough to stand the entire time but still deep enough to snorkel. The sunset was for of course too. Thanks to our wonderful guide for the help and making the experience amazing. There was plenty of parking, you’ll pull up to a gate with a guard and then he will tell you where to go. There’s a shower for a quick rinse after the experience. They offered dry bags and a place to store extra things you didn’t want in the kayak. Everything in the kayak will get wet! Enjoy!

Thank you again for your recommendation, and we hope to welcome you back to French Polynesia in the future! Mauruuru
We were able to ask questions about Moorea. Then we kayaked out to a gorgeous photo spot and had a drink out of coconuts standingup to our knees in clear blue, warm water. Then we were helped out of the kayak in a canal to snorkel. The fish were feeding, all different colours and sizes, while we floated with the current down to a sandy bottom area where we could stand, surrounded by coral gardens. We saw reef sharks close around us and sting rays. Our magnifique guide, Manu, fed the sting ray by hand so we touched the sting rays slimy face while he was eating. The tern birds were diving, it was a crazy experience, feeding frenzy. Loved this tour. Thank you to Manu.

We are delighted that you enjoyed every moment of this lagoon adventure, from the crystal-clear waters to the encounters with sharks and rays. Manu will be very happy to read your kind words. It was a pleasure to show you the beauty of Moorea. Mauruuru
We had a wonderful time on this tour!! Our guide was very knowledgeable about the rays, sharks and fish. We visited three different snorkeling spots one with turtles, one near Coco Beach one with rays and sharks. We loved this adventure and even got a great workout :). Would highly recommend it!

Had a great time kayaking the lagoon for a couple hours in clear kayaks. They gave us fruit juice, then we swam/snorkeled around with sharks and stingrays
. Brought two kids under 10 with no issues - they loved it.

Great tour guides that were easy going and knowledgeable. The tour was the perfect amount of time and we enjoyed the opportunity to get out of the kayak and swim with fish, sharks and stingrays.

We had the most amazing experience on this tour! Our guide was fantastic! He was so friendly and personable from start to finish, and he really let us experience the snorkeling and hospitality of the Tahitian islands firsthand. We got to stop at not one but TWO snorkeling spots on our tour, and we also stopped by a beach and our tour guide gave us fruit juice and rum as well as brownies and bananas! We got to see sharks and stingrays , as well as a huge variety of fish while snorkeling in the two spots we stopped . I cannot recommend this tour enough to anyone here visiting! Please give it a try, you will not regret it! Thank you to our wonderful guide for making our experience so wonderful. We love Moorea!

Truly an amazing experience! My sister and I booked the sunset kayak lagoon tour and it was such a magical experience. The views are phenomenal, and you get a really intimate experience being up close and personal with the wildlife. Hugo and team were great, definitely recommend this to anyone visiting the island!

Be prepared to paddle , especially if it’s windy. The guide will tow you if you like, though. The water is incredible, literally the colour of blue Gatorade! Well worth the money! We went out on the reef/lagoon and literally swam amongst stingrays and black-tip sharks. It was amazing .

The location is absolutely stunning and we got to enjoy some delicious drinks and even see a few sharks! Minus one star just because the tour guides weren’t terribly engaged, but overall a great experience!

You arrive at a gate where there is absolutely no one there, and they will not let you in the gate until the time of your tour .so do not be early .very upsetting as we could’ve just sat down by the boat area instead of on the road in the hot sun that was very annoying because there was people there.

The swiming with stingrays and sharks had been on a few people's bucket list for a while. Checked and Done!
The guides were nice, down to earth, guys.

Overall good but not easy trip. This was a workout and not a lazy kayak trip. Got to see rays up close and have them swim and touch our feet which was an amazing highlight but it was windy and that made it hard to kayak. Just and FYI that Snorkeling will provide you a better view than the transparent kayak. View through boat was a more hazy than snorkeling. But you could still make things out.

The weather is unpredictable, the wind was not supposed to be there.....
Had an amazing time! The water was so many shades of blue or crystal clear. The snorkel was incredible with plenty of sharks and large rays. Would definitely recommend

The tour was really good, the guide nice and the location on the moth quite lovely as you could see Moorea in front. It was however quite windy and cloudy so we weren’t that lucky with the weather. The guide was nice was a little quiet and didn’t tell us much about the the place.
