Review of Moorea’s Taboo catamaran tour, with small-group snorkeling, sharks, rays, fruit, cocktails, hotel pickup, and practical tips.

“We had the best morning on the Taboo today as we went to three snorkelling spots. The boat was beautiful and spacious, allowing us and the other three couples to easily lounge and take in the sights as we sailed. Our captain and guide were hilarious and told us many facts about the island as we sailed, while also pointing out interesting things for us to see as they came. I am normally not super comfortable being on the ocean, but I felt safe the entire time and didn’t have any concerns. The captain gave us fresh fruit, juice, and mai tais between snorkel spots which was the perfect addition…”

“The tour company will not respond. We were provided a tour that only included the cruise. No 4wd tour was included. This was not what we paired for and have asked for a partial refund. They have not or maybe will not respond to our emails. Feels like a bait and switch. I’ll be contacting our credit card company.”

Review of Moorea’s private lagoon boat tour, with snorkeling, rays, sharks, turtles, fruit, drinks, photos, and practical booking advice.

“Luna and Clem are awesome, the tour was highly personalized, and both the hosts took personal care. We are not good swimmers, they took us to a very shallow lagoon (you could stand ), and we saw sharks, petted sting rays. Luna went the extra mile to assure my spouse to get in the water with sting rays (as she does not swim). Another place was a little more deeper, we saw various fishes with pretty colors. They took us to a place, where there were more than 10 dolphins, the dolphins followed us and were going with the boat, it was amazing. The fruit platter and juices were very…”

Review of Raiatea’s half-day Tahaa Coral Garden snorkel, with boat views, drift snorkeling, practical tips, price value, and cruise timing.

“I wasn't quite sure what to expect on this tour but our expectations were absolutely blown away!!! We had a nice cruise over to the island then got to go drift snorkeling through a gorgeous coral garden. We got to see all kinds of different fish & beautiful coral. Our guides spoke French so there was a bit of a language barrier but they were so friendly & knowledgeable. We even got to have some local fruit & juice once we were done snorkeling. I would 100% recommend this tour to anyone visiting Raiatea!”
