My wife and I came here on our honeymoon, looking for a romantic evening out. The ride over was wonderful with Ms Mareva and greeting Captain Leo was a pleasure. He took us and our small group on the boat as we enjoyed every moment of our trip. The waters were so still and there was a slight breeze which made the voyage that much more beautiful. Captain Leo was very knowledgeable about the waters and the island. The sunset was magical, we even got to see a turtle and some flying fish. The Maitai’s were a bonus!
We would highly recommend booking this tour, especially for those looking to relax and watch the sunset from the ocean. It was truly a special experience we will never forget.

JP was an amazing host and made our sunset catamaran sail in Moorea such a memorable experience. He was friendly, welcoming, and made everyone feel comfortable from the start. The sunset sail itself was absolutely beautiful, with incredible views and such a relaxing atmosphere. JP helped make the experience feel personal, fun, and unforgettable. It was one of the highlights of our time in Moorea, and we’re so glad we booked with him. We would highly recommend JP to anyone looking for a relaxing and beautiful sunset sail while visiting Moorea!

It was a wonderful trip along the coast into the sunset. We liked doing this with a small group. Captain Sebastian was great and told us a lot about the area. We loved the mai tais during the sailing.
It was a wonderful experience and we really can recommend it!!

Dear Michael, Thank you very much for your nice words. We are happy that you enjoyed sailing with us at sunset. Thank you for booking with us.

Evidently they sent a cab to pick us up. Not sure if he came to our hotel or another one but they called us at 5:20 said the cab had been there to pick us up but we were not there. They also said that they checked at the front desk and looked for us in the bar. We asked all four people at the front desk and they said nobody had asked for us. They refused to refund our money and we were furious. Tahiti is full of very nice native people but these folks were nasty french types who lie through their teeth. What a nightmare!
Response from Host, May 2026
Dear Richard,
We are sincerely sorry to read about your disappointing experience in Moorea.
Since the time of your booking, the company has changed ownership, and unfortunately we no longer have access to all operational details related to your reservation or the events that occurred that day. Because of this, we are unable to fully verify what may have happened regarding the pickup arrangements and communications.
That said, we understand how frustrating it must have been, and we regret that your time in Moorea was impacted.
While we understand your disappointment, we remain committed to providing respectful and reliable service to all visitors to Tahiti and Moorea.
We appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback and wish you the very best in your future travels.
Kind regards, Doris

We had an amazing time on the Taboo with Leo and JP! They were so great the entire time and really took so many steps to make sure our experience was perfect. The sunset was gorgeous, the scenery beautiful, and the mai tais were delicious!

Leo is a great host. We had a lovely evening on the water to enjoy the wonderful Moorea sunset. Small group made it better than most Sunset sails. We actually did sail for most of the time

Very nice trip. Winds were calm, so we had to motor around which was fine. Our captain was friendly and very knowledgeable . The clouds to the west were too dense for a nice sunset. Mother Nature has her way sometimes. We were on the island 10 days with no colorful sunsets, but that’s the way it goes sometimes.

My husband and I sailed with Leo at the end of December and had a lovely time. Leo is very knowledgeable of the area and sprinkled some facts throughout our tour. Although we had some rain, and it was cloudy, we were able to see the sun peak out while it set. Gorgeous views and all in all, a great time! Definitely recommend!

What a great relaxing and peaceful trip! Good stories on the history of the island
Had an awesome time. Make for this excursion. You won't be sorry. Say hello to Captain Leo!
Mateusz_B, Nov 2025
It is not to long but very relaxing trip. U can have a bit of knowledge of the Island and also an experience of sailing on the ocean which for some, like me, can be a fantastic thing.

Captain Neil was very friendly and knowledgeable. He gave great information on local lore, not to mention he makes an amazing Maitai! The sunset was absolutely amazing and Neil put us in the perfect spot to watch the sun go down.
Thomas_C, Oct 2025
Captain Leo was really knowledgeable and the boat was well kept & maintained. The sunset cruise was very pleasant and we even saw a whale breach!
Greg_H, Oct 2025
Our sunset tour was great. We learned a lot about Moorea and the lagoon, and sailed in the ocean a bit before checking out the sunset. We would do it again!
Alexandria_B, Oct 2025
This was a beautiful, relaxing, sunset sail with a couple of mai tai and amazing views. We had a beautiful night and were able to see the full mountains as Leo told us some of the history of the area. We were confused about the meeting area, but the details in the message from the operators made it easy to find the spot with the tires and a cement landing that the dinghies go to.

Captain Leo picked us up from the Hilton and we took a tender to the sailboat. We had a nice wind for the sails on the way back, and we were visited by a pod of spinner dolphins! It was amazing - they were literally running parallel, on the inside of the catamaran! We saw them spinning too. Not the best sunset, but he waited until almost dark and we got to see the moon up at the same time as the sun setting. Definitely a great trip!
Penelope_D, Oct 2025
wonderful all around. Guide was friendly - very responsible (saftey first) on the boat - fun night. Relaxing.
Rocco_S, Oct 2025
Leo was the best guide, captain and an underrated bartender as well! Extremely relaxing and romantic cruise around several of Moorea’s bays and points of interest. Gorgeous views and my wife and I couldn’t have been more pleased. Would highly recommend for a fun, chill and informative sunset cruise!
Chris_L, Sep 2025
This is how you picture your trip to Tahiti. On a sunset cruise sipping maitai’s. Highly recommend, especially for couples
Hayden_B, Sep 2025

Jessica_M, Aug 2025
Very personable, lots of history, beautiful views . I would definitely do this aging, and recommend!!

The captain was a very cool person and the boat was very nice. You can sit on the net where you can see water under you. The sunset is very beautiful and you can get a completely different sunset perspective on the boat. It was a great way to finish our trip!
Henry_T, Jul 2025
Had a great time aboard Taboo for the sunset cruise! The weather cooperated so we got a nice sail, sunset, and lesson about the island.
Olivia_S, Jun 2025
Watched the sunset from the boat and learned some history and facts about the island! Was fun to pass the break water into the deeper water and see the island from farther out.
Ann_K, Jun 2025
Don't miss this one! It is a very relaxing evening on the water, enjoying a drink while watching the sunset. Leo is an excellent host and shared alot of information about Moorea and the bays.
Michelle_W, Jun 2025
Excellent and top notch. Captain Leo was informative, funny, quite knowledgeable, and professional. His boat is clean and comfortable and he pours nice maitais.
The 2 1/2 cruise was perfect. The sunset was spectacular. It was exactly what I hoped it would be. Thank you!
Michael_P, Jun 2025
Wonderful small group sunset sail. Leo, our captain, was very attentive and provided great insight into the island and surrounding area. A very enjoyable experience that we would do again if we return to Moorea.
Stephen_W, Jun 2025
Great experience! One of the few excursions with sailing on the island, would highly recommend. Captain Leo was a great host, sharing beautiful views of both Moorea bays, a great sunset, and good Mai Tais to cap it off!

Leo is the best! The sunset cruise was gorgeous. We sailed in the lagoon and in the ocean, then had cocktails to watch the sunset. Highly recommend!
Hannah_D, Jun 2025
This was a fun ride on Taboo! We laid on the nets and the cushions and it was a great view. Also were served delicious Mai tais! Only downfall was that it rained a decent amount of our trip so maybe would have tried to reschedule.
