Not worth the price

Maureen_M, Apr 2024

Very disappointing excursion. Extremely overpriced, guide was obnoxious, billed as sailing but captain only motored the boat. No fun being lectured to while treading water. Hard pass. FWIW Operator asked me to cancel and rebook directly.

Amazing Day on Moorea on Taboo

Rick_B, Apr 2024

Wonderful day on Taboo. When the cruise ship was delayed we thought to cancel but so glad we didn't. Taboo was amazing, snorkeling in 2 locations was just perfect. The crew were fun and professional. I would have appreciated a discount for missing an hour through no fault of our own, but never heard back on this. Overall, I would Highly recommend this tour and would do it again! Truly amazing day!

Marvelous!!!

ingridanllo, Apr 2024

Phenomenal…but book direct with company!

Kathryn_R, Jan 2024

This was our second time doing this trip and we absolutely loved it. Leo is the best guide. The only thing that is absolutely crazy is we found out if we book directly with the company itself, it’s $200 cheaper. A 35% markup for Viator is insane. I will support the small business itself next time.

Book it!

Megan_M, Dec 2023

I booked this experience after doing a quick Google search on Moorea snorkel tours and it will forever be something my husband and I smile about. We had the best time, Leo was our captain and was wonderful. The experience itself is indescribable - it’s like you’re living in the movie Finding Nemo. Liza does a great job communicating and coordinating your reservation and taxi to and from the ferry, if needed. The price of this experience is 100% worth it - just book it!

Fun Day on the Water

Dawn_D, Nov 2023

Captain Leo and Yaunik were a fun duo for our snorkel tour. Everything was great minus the disembarkment LOL!

Great day on the Taboo

Nathan_S, Nov 2023

Unforgettable experience on the Taboo. I really liked that this was a personal experience on a small boat. Perfect for our family. The hosts were fantastic. Highly recommended! The sharks and rays were a highlight.

An enjoyable day

dianaharleyhills, Nov 2023

The four of us very much enjoyed the snorkeling off the catamaran. We were disappointed that there was no sailing. Also, it would've been nice to have had refreshments on arrival, such as beer or a cocktail as well as cold water. We found it a bit expensive for value. There was just juice and a small cocktail at the end. Staff were really nice and knowledgeable. All in all it was an enjoyable day and I would recommend it. But be aware that there is no sailing but awesome snorkeling with a great crew.

Amazing experience!

ecmoraitis, Sep 2023

Amazing trip on Taboo- crew was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. Boat was beautiful and very well kept. Snacks were delicious- Hands down our favorite excursion

Amazing trip, worth every penny!

Emily_C, Sep 2023

This excursion was absolutely worth the money!! We took a 4hr private ride - our captain was very knowledgeable, spoke multiple languages (including English) and took us to multiple locations around Moorea! We went North around the island and snorkeled at a coral garden, with stingrays and sharks, and at the tikis. They provided rum punch, bottled water, and fresh fruit. Even my husband said this was his favorite, most relaxing excursion and has never snorkeled! Highly recommend! The transportation was easy and right on time with easy directions provided in the welcome email!

Sailing in Mo’orea

Jamie_A, Aug 2023

Our captain, Teeboe (I apologize for the misspelling), and guide, Ana were friendly, knowledgeable and so much fun. We snorkeled, swam with the sharks and rays and visited an underwater Tahitian museum. We also enjoyed some delicious fruit, juice and mai-tais. It was the most memorable day!

Can't miss this excursion!

Mark_K, Jul 2023

I'm going to butcher the captain's name (sorry), but captain Tiboux and snorkeling guide Hannah were excellent! The boat and experience were both incredible. We snorkeled with black tip reef sharks, stingrays, camouflaged flounders, and a wide array of tropical fish in the coral garden. Guide Hannah was incredibly knowledgeable on the various species, and her instruction really enhanced the experience. The captain claimed his English wasn't very good, but he was actually really funny and both of them were very proficient English speakers...much better than my French, for sure. Overall, this is a can't miss excursion.

The Perfect Afternoon in Moorea

jooliewright, Jul 2023

We had an amazing time on the Taboo! The crew was great, super knowledgeable and interesting. Leo was an amazing sailor, the snorkeling was terrific and the fruit snacks and drinks were an added bonus. Oh, and did I mention the amazing views from the boat? Just WOW. I highly recommend this tour!!

Awesome Experience

Ron_G, Jul 2023

Absolutely awesome experience and crew. Kevin and his partner were kind, informative, fun and inspiring. Boat is perfect for the unique experience. Swimming with sharks, stingrays and tons of beautiful fish was absolutely incredible. They even took videos of us with our go pro. We had a tight schedule and their pick up/ drop off system is a well oiled machine. Highly highly recommend!

Response from Host, Jul 2023

Elizabeth_L, Jun 2023

Had a wonderful experience with this private tour. We fed the fish bananas, we saw sea turtles, and it was just a perfect experience.

kelli_c, Apr 2023

The caption was excellent!! Friendly, knowledgeable & courteous! We swam with stingrays and black tipped sharks, saw the beautiful coast of Moorea, had delicious fruit on board, snorkeled and saw so many different types of fish. To top it off we even got to see a sea turtle!!

Response from Host, Apr 2023

Thanks Kelli for your great review ! We are happy you had great time with us and were able to see turtles on top of everything else. Mauruuru Roa Léo, Liza and Lucas

Perfect private day!

Tamara_S, Mar 2023

Arrived in Moorea on the WindSpirit. Booked this as a private tour due to time constraints. I received amazing communication ahead of time as to time and location. We walked off the dock and our ride was waiting. Spent an amazing day snorkeling with rats, shark and various other fish. Got to see the underground statues and enjoy fresh local fruit and rum punch. It was a perfect day and the crew was funny, attentive and professional. Cheers to Taboo

Response from Host, Apr 2023

Thanks Tamara for your great review ! When it comes to people coming from cruise ship we tried to adapt the best as the arrival time is not always precise or matching with our others tours. Liza is doing a great job with communication ahead of the tour to make things possible and as easy as possible. Mauruuru Roa Léo and Liza

Highly recommend!

Nicole_B, Dec 2022

Leo was a fabulous captain and was very knowledgeable about the local history and also geography. Highly recommend. He was so much fun for our family private group! Thank you Captain Leo!

Book it!

Edie_D, Dec 2022

I had a great time. We went at my pace. The hosts pointed things out while snorkeling that i would have missed on my own. They shared history of the islands and provided a delicious rum punch and the best fruit I have ever tasted.
