Amazing
Absolutely amazing experience! The photographer was incredibly talented, professional, and made me feel completely comfortable throughout the shoot. The photos turned out even better than I expected : natural, beautiful, and full of emotion. 😍

3 hour Jet ski tour a Must!
This is a great Jet ski tour. You get to tour the island as well as stop at two areas to snorkel. This is better then going with a boat excursions. You get to have fun on the jet ski. See some beautiful scenery and snorkel with the sharks/ rays and around some very nice coral. Highly recommend.

Super fun experience
One of the best activities we’ve ever done a trip, just amazing from start to finish. Our guide was extremely friendly, helpful and knowledgeable, and even though it was our first time riding an ATV, we felt confident and got the hang of it quickly thanks to his instruction. The views were just unreal, the stops were so interesting, and the ride itself took us across all kinds of fun terrain. Absolutely book this tour, thank you so much Moorea Activities Center!

Yes, it was a completely normal...
Yes, it was a completely normal holiday crossing, it wasn't bumpy. It was just completely normal. It didn't take long. I think it was only 20 minutes, definitely worth doing for the price, great.

Fabulous aquatic experience
Very beautiful experience with a quality guide who was attentive, passionate, and gave us very good explanations and details about the history of Moorea.
Total change of scenery on a jet ski. Thank you for this magical moment with the turtles, sharks, rays, and dolphins.
An unforgettable moment to experience!

Private Photo Session on The Island of MooreaOtk13, Sep 2026
Amazing tour and beautiful photographs of our Wedding Day!
We booked Moorea Photo a couple of months before our wedding in Moorea. The price was very reasonable and booking was easy with straightforward arrangements and great communication throughout. The day was absolutely perfect, we visited some incredible locations including an absolutely stunning complete isolated site where we had our ceremony and vowels. We could not have found this location on our own and we were so lucky that Robert understood exactly what we were looking for and even supplied the transport to get there! The photographs were better than we could every of hoped and we cannot stop looking at the album we were sent, which included drone shots, capturing the beauty of this wonderful island. We would have no reservations recommending Robert to anyone looking to get some sensational photographs, you won't be disappointed!

Magical walk accompanied by a top-notch guide
Tura was an amazing guide, attentive, friendly, and thoughtful!
Fabulous walk worthy of immersion in a postcard scene
The meal was worthy of a gourmet restaurant
And the various stops were interesting (perfect for bringing back little local souvenirs for our loved ones - Pearl Vanilla Rum)
We will come back because it's Tura 🫶
