Top Raiatea Cooking Classes

Best experience ever! We caught three fish and hooked a shark and a huge bonito. Kenzo is incredibly friendly, extremely knowledgeable, and made the whole experience truly unforgettable.

A magnificent day with Kenzo, who is very professional and attentive. He is very attentive and gives excellent advice. He had us practice 4 types of fishing in superb locations. I recommend 👏👏👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

We had an excellent day with a fishing professional; we highly recommend it.

It was a fantastic trip. Captain Kenzo did everything possible to catch us a big fish, which we requested. He modified the meal experience at our request and we kept fishing and ate on the boat. The food was delicious and he had fresh coconuts as well as juice and water. My husband caught an over 5 foot shark which we released back after getting some great pictures in the water. While my husband really enjoyed the fight, Kenzo jumped in to help when my husband requested assistance in the middle. I would highly recommend this experience. Please understand that he will adjust the experience for your comfort and experience level.

The day with Kenzo was probably the best of our trip to French Polynesia. We had action from fish and always felt like he was working hard to find them. We had lunch pulled up near a motu (island) which was secluded, not to mention the lunch was delicious. Kenzo was professional and engaging. We could not give a higher recommendation for him.

Amazing day Catch ans cook! We had a great day with Kenzo. The fishing was not very fruitful but a few fights and small catches (all spread out in the water) enhanced this magnificent experience. The boat is new, well equipped to protect from the sun (don't forget UV shirt and sunscreen), well equipped for fishermen. Kenzo adapted to my husband, fisherman, and favored fishing at "sea", and a return with a peach in the lagoon. Beautiful lunch in the water, prepared before our eyes by Kenzo, on an intimate corner of Tahaa beach. I recommend Kenzo and his wife, very kind, for your next excursions.

If you want to experience Raiatea as a local, Catch & Cook is your best option! We were in Raiatea for just the day (on a cruise) but Captain Kenzo (pictured) met our tender and shortly we were zooming out past Taha'a for great spin casting fishing among the coral heads. He has a new 23' center console with a large sun top (thankfully!) and provides everything you need for the day: gear, water, juice, etc. After a few hours of (successful) fishing and releasing, he took us to an isolated motu (one of the uninhabited islands surround Raiatea and Taha'a) for a scrumptious lunch of local delicacies and a swim (if you wish). Then we fished our way back (by choice because he offed us other activities if we were tired of fishing such as visiting a pearl farm or a rum distillery). It was a spectacular day on the water! Captain Ken was great company, we had a ball and we caught a lot of fish!

Great tour!! I highly recommend it. Kenzo is a really cool guy who is gonna make sure you have the best time possible. I booked 2 days in the row and it was epic, first day was full fishing. Went outside the outer reef for popping and jigging. Kenzo knows a lot of spots and his boat is well equipped, fish finder/ lots of space/ shade/ many rod holders/ stable... Very comfy. And on the second day we fished the shallow lagoons of Raiatea with lighter tackle for half the day then went to a traditional meal on a stunning little motu (island). Even as a Tahitian I was blown away. Thanks mate im sure I'll see you again! Thank you for your cheerful attitude

We had a great time with an attentive, passionate and very competent captain. 20/20 for the cleanliness of the boat and equipment.

A superb fishing day that Kenzo masterfully led. Everything was planned with his kindness and total knowledge of the place. In short the top!!

This adventure was amazing. My wife and I were taking this adventure from a cruise ship. Due to an issue on this ship, we pulled into port about 1.5hrs later. We had been in contact with Keunzo, so he was waiting for us when we finally arrived.Due to the wind conditions, he took us around to the other side of the island. We got to see a fish trap before we went fishing ourselves. We did deep water casting, big game trolling, and shallow water stick fishing. We caught two chameleon grouper, one of which we cooked up for lunch.The lunch spread was amazing: ceviche, fresh grouper, marinated tuna, loads of vegetables, and rum punch. My wife and I got some snorkeling and swimming in while lunch was being prepared (we tried a motu, but the mosquitos were nasty).Keunzo was super friendly, helpful, and genuinely excited for every fish we caught.

The experience was absolutely amazing! We had a successful day, catching eight fish in total. Captain Kenzo was fantastic and truly made the trip memorable. We even got to enjoy some of our fresh catch! We landed a 2 kg chameleon grouper and a 2kg black trevally. I totally recommend booking a trip with Captain Kenzo!

Spending the day with Kenzo is more than just a sea trip: it’s diving into the world of a passionate young biologist who lives for his lagoon. We practiced traditional angling with him, took out some nice catches that we released, then discovered the coral garden. The day ended with the preparation of raw fish with coconut milk, freshly opened and grated nuts. A unique, authentic and memorable moment that I recommend to all those who want to experience Polynesia differently.

Great day on the boat! We fished in the morning and caught some keepers for lunch. Lunch was awesome!!! Rum drinks and coconut water were delicious. Snorkeling with sharks was cool! Your host is a marine biologist, so lots of knowledge. Perfect day.

My father and I had a memorable day, we caught several fish including groupers that we then cooked on a wood fire on an isolated and quiet motu! We even caught benitiers that we tasted in a ceviche. Kenzo had also prepared us some pickled tuna, tarot and delicious local fruits, pure taste pleasure... we then fished outside the lagoon, on the other side of the reef and there that adventure, a catch so imposing that the son finally gave way, an adrenaline that we will not forget (a shark?) And then icing on the cake, dolphins accompanied us part of the way back to the port 🤩 I recommend 100%, thank you Kenzo for an unforgettable day!

This was the best experience! Beautiful boat with a knowledgeable captain. The fishing was fun. Clam hunting was a new experience!
