Half Day Tour : Moorea Snorkeling & Sailing on a Catamaran named Taboo

1.Half Day Tour : Moorea Snorkeling & Sailing on a Catamaran named Taboo

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 529 reviews · from $157Our pick

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…”

LUXURY Catamaran Bora Bora : The Sunset Escape

6.LUXURY Catamaran Bora Bora : The Sunset Escape

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 129 reviews · from $267

Review of Bora Bora’s 2-hour luxury sunset catamaran, with hotel pickup, Otemanu views, drinks, snacks, crew details, and practical tips.

“Pros: BEAUTIFUL boat and super friendly crew. Cons: Did not match the description when booking. No sparkling wine was served. 13 people were booked when it advertised a max of 8. This made the front seating space feel a bit crowded. The cruise itself was lack luster. Felt like we didn’t travel very far and then just sat floating in circles. Headed back promptly at sunset with little to no communication from the captain. Very expensive for what you got. Much better excursions available. Would not recommend for the price.”

“This promised to be a wonder 34th anniversary night. The collection from our hotel was prompt,skipper handed us sealed tray of fruit which remained sealed. He was to take us on a sunset cruise but due to his fear of rain we were taken to port and stood under a canopy for 40mins where he cracked open one bottle of fiz for 8 to share. After some time one of the passengers suggested we should get back onto the water as it had not rained a drop so he got us on board and took us to St James cafe we were there roughly 70mins ahead of time. He said…”
