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…”

“We would highly recommend Moorea Dark Waters! It was such a cool experience to snorkel at night, and our guide made sure that we covered a lot of ground in the 1.5 hours that we were out snorkeling. We saw rays, sharks, an eel, a puffer fish, a lion fish, and a lot of reef fish. We went at a good pace, and our guide made sure that everyone stayed together. They provided wetsuits and snorkeling equipment for us to use. Night snorkeling is an experience like no other, and we would highly recommend this tour!”
