Best Snorkel Tour in Moorea
Tour Company Well Organized - The owner and his wife greeted us personally. The guide, Ana, was knowledgeable, professional, and personable. The boat Captain, Tama, was a perfect complement to Ana. We went to a sandbar, where stingrays were plentiful and swam right up and brushed against you. We went to another area and stayed there for about 10 minutes and watched the spinner dolphins play right in front of us. We then went to an area in a pass where we drift snorkel while looking for turtles. We then went to a spot where the guide in boat, captain prepared, fruit, snacks, and beverages for everyone to enjoy after a short snorkel we went to three snorkel excursions in French Polynesia on our trip and this one was the best. We also chose this Tour because we took a ferry from Papeete and they met us at the Moorea ferry terminal and drove us to the boat. Many of the other snorkel tours we considered, required us to find our way to the boat ourselves, which made it less convenient. After we got off the boat, they had a taxi waiting to take us back to the ferry terminal.

Great Experience
We were a group of 9 friends and had the most fantastic day. Mana was a great captain and took us to quiet places for snorkeling and to swim with the rays and sharks. The beach experience of coconut opening and grating was great fun and the lunch was authentic. I would recommend this excursion to anyone wanting to spend a beautiful day in Moorea

We found ourselves with an extra day in Papeete and took advantage of it by taking this tour. We stopped by a black sand beach with a lighthouse, a waterfall, some beautiful gardens, among other stops. It was great to learn a little history and get some local context! The van was very comfortable with air conditioning and USB-C charging ports available. Our guide was very friendly and knowledgeable!

Perfect Moorea ATV adventure ✨️
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ **Fantastic ATV Adventure – Highly Recommend!**We had such a wonderful experience with the Temana & Moorea Activities Centre ATV adventure! I did the tour with my 9-year-old daughter and we both absolutely loved it.The tour was really well organised, with plenty of stops along the way to take in the most beautiful lookouts and scenery around Moorea. We also stopped at a little local mini market where we tasted delicious homemade jams and smoothies, and we ended up buying some beautiful, really good-quality sarongs.There was also cold water available at many of the stops, which was such a thoughtful touch, especially in the heat.We were so pleased we chose this tour. It was a fantastic way to see more of the island, experience some local flavours and have a bit of adventure together. We would definitely recommend it, especially for families.One tip — if you have time, **book a jet ski tour to finish your day!** We didn't book one, but we heard so many people at the centre raving about their jet ski experience afterwards that we wished we had added it on!Thank you Temana & Moorea Activities Centre for such a memorable day! 🌴🤙🏼

Best Snorkeling Trip
One of the best snorkeling tours we have ever been on! Our experience with Tahiti By Boat was absolutely amazing. During our tour, we saw eagle rays, dolphins, whales, stingrays, turtles, and so many colorful fish. Iit was an unforgettable day on the water!Gabriel was a fantastic captain, and Liam was an awesome guide. They made the experience even more special. With just six of us in the group, the tour felt personal and relaxed, which we loved.If you’re visiting Tahiti, we highly recommend Tahiti By Boat. This was a highlight of our trip, and we would absolutely go again!

Excellent tour that we travelled around the whole islands in 5 hrs and made many great stops. Highly recommend our tour guide, Vetea. He is very informative and friendly. This is small group of 6. Better than the cruise ship tour with Big bus. In fact, I am the only one not from cruise ship.

Amazing guide Moana! Took us to three snorkeling spots, we saw heaps of corals, fish and swam with turtles. Watched the local surfers on barrel waves. Finished the day with locally made Poisson Cru, so tasty, and local Tahitian beer. Highly recommended for a small group guided tour!

Excellent morning!
Kiki was a great guide on the water showing us the two bays and helping us find turtles, black tip sharks and rays in the water. He knew the water and respected the sea life. You spend lots of time on a jet ski moving fast so you should be comfortable on the water. Thrilling to encounter a stingray. Incredible day. Highly recommend!

Looking a whale in the eye ... pure magic!

Looking a whale in the eye ... pure magic!
I've had a long standing dream to look a whale in the eye in the wild. And I can now say I've done so! Kevin was a great guide, I felt safe with him. They do seem to fully respect the animals. We unfortunately had very poor visability due to previous night's rain downpour, but we were still able to experience the magic of a mama whale and her (2 week old?) calf. We could only see mama above the water when she came up due to murky water, but she was close! The baby was curious and came super close to us and entered our limited field of vision. My heart skipped a beat when I looked it in the eye. Pure magic! I wish it had been a boat with only 6 swimmers - they take 12 so you do have to split into two groups which perhaps limits time in the water. But we knew that going in and just grateful we got a spot and were able to swim. 100% recommend!! Māuruuru!!
