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!

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.

Nice afternoon

Saskia_W, Jul 2025
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.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Best Experience Ever

Kinley_M, May 2025
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!

A must !!! An excursion you won’t regret !!!

Logan_M, May 2025
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!

Great way to spend a couple of hours

Kristen_W, May 2025
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 .

Allie_P, May 2025
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...

VALERIE_B, Mar 2025
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.

Response from Host, Mar 2025

The hotel, following the covid, is closed to guests, so you can't walk around or wait inside. Security guards are responsible for ensuring that guests are only allowed in for activities and at the time specified on the day of booking. Mauruuru Valerie,for your visit

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.

Great experience

Matthew_H, Jun 2024
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.

Mauruuru Matthew, Ali for your visit. The weather is unpredictable, the wind was not supposed to be there.....

Nice experience to do end of the day

Ilona_K, May 2024
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.

A MUST DO in Moorea!

Ted_C, Feb 2024
This was an incredible experience with two fantastic guides! I guess I didn’t read clear enough that we would be spending time with stingrays and sharks, but that was such a pleasant surprise. And the pineapple juice –mmmmm! If you’re using Google maps, be sure to go through the gate at the old hotel that’s been closed down, even though it looks like you shouldn’t.

Thank you for your visit Mauruuru Ted and Stéphanie

Must do- memorable and great staff!

Katie_S, Oct 2023
Awesome experience! They were flexible with our tour time/date. Our guide literally got in with the sting ray and sharks during the light rain storm to have them come up to the kayak so we could see them (cause we were nervous to hop in!) absolutely incredible experience and being only 2 hours it’s a quick and fun excursion. We were supposed to be in a group of 6 but the other two couples did not join so we had a private tour. Our guide could not have been more accommodating and friendly! This is a must do excursion!!
