Nice boat and crew. Beautiful scenic cruise, current too strong for snorkeling

4.00This boat and crew are very nice. They provided a nice scenic cruise through 2 of the main bays of Moorea. The location for snorkeling was close to the reef, but currents were too strong for most people to comfortably be in the water. Snacks were provided and they were refreshing. The best part of the trip was being on the water and viewing this majestic island paradise.
Outstanding and well worth it!!

5.00Magnificent trip on the lagoon of Moorea aboard a very nice small 8-seat catamaran with nets to lie in the sun between each snorkeling stop. We were accompanied by Heinui, the captain, and Jade who provided us with very precise explanations in both English and French. We also had very nice encounters with the other people on the boat. A beautiful memory to cherish!
An amazing catamaran ride in Moorea!

5.00Fabulous experience from the start. Received by Doris at the Marina and she drove us to the dock. The guide Jade was excellent in explaining things in both English and French. She was humorous and kept the journey lively. She was attentive to different needs and cared about all of us. The captain, I believe his name is Kai Nui was not just the captain but also the bartender. We were served fruit platter, pineapple juice, and cocktails and mocktails at the end of the journey. We stopped at three different places for various experiences. First to snorkeling around coral area, second was snorkeling with sharks and rays, and third was where there are tikis. Water was about 9 ft deep and we were given the snorkeling gears and fins. You can also ask for noodles if you’re not good with swimming like me. It’s suggest this tour to anyone who wants to explore the area.
Amazing tour

5.00The boat only fits about 6 people, which makes it very personal and private. Scuba guide was very knowledgeable. 10/10 would recommend.

5.00The whole experience was perfect and special. Starting early allowed us to dive alone with sharks and rays. The crew was friendly and made sure we had a good time while also explaining about marine life and Polynesian culture.
