    Temu was a great guide. Very informative and new all of the best snorkel spots. Pick up is right next to the boat/actually in the marina.

    Great Snorkeling!

    Amazing trip with Alan from Tahiti By Boat! Excellent snorkeling sites. Saw a wreck, a turtle and plenty of fish. Great sunset with great friends, great drinks and a great guide. Awesome.
    Very disappointing tour
    Paul_C, Apr 2024
    This tour promised more than it delivered. The plane and ship wreck were ok. We did not see turtle, shark, dolphins, nor 100’s of fish. For what we paid, this was a disappointing tour. Also, my wife could not go due to medical reasons that happened the night before. I asked for a refund but was declined even thou I could have produced a medical certificate.. The remaining 6 of us went on the tour however. The Tour provider benefitted even more as we ended up doing this private tour with another group for the afternoon rather than the morning. We agreed to doing this due to weather. But was disappointing they would not honour my request for my wife’s refund. When filling out the request it does ask for a reason on a drop down box. Even though I chose medical reasons, this was still refused.
    Great day

    What a brilliant time, our trip was a little late but more than made up by the Captain/Guide Tapu. Highly recommend
    Snorkeling joy

    What a delightful morning. The three of us joined Moana (male) for a fun, beautiful snorkel. He took so Ch good care of us 70 year olds. The coral was amazing as well as the plethora of fish. Moana swam with us and showed us 3 turtles, the boat and plane wrecks we didn’t get to see rays or sharks since the party boats were out in force. I would say the life vests were a blessing in the stronger than we are used to currents. Thank you, Moana. Best snorkeling ever.
    We loved it!

    We had a great time snorkeling, interacting with marine life, and exploring Tahiti by boat. The captain took us to a variety of locations over several hours. We highly recommend this adventure!
    Nice and efficient see animal encounter
    Franck_J, Apr 2024
    It was a very nice experience, the kids really enjoy seing dolphin swimming in the bay, watching turtles and ray. It was a real encounter! The organizer was kind and the family feel really at ease.
    Excellent Snorkeling Excursion

    Gabriel was an amazing tour guide. He took us snorkeling at a few great spots and we got to swim with turtles, as well as stingrays. Highlight of our trip!
    Great Afternoon Snorkeling
    Martin_L, Jan 2024
    Our guide Moana was FANTASTIC. We had a great afternoon seeing sea turtles, ship wrecks, sting rays, and a wonderful coral garden. Moana was a super guide and he was so friendly! Thanks so much!
    Crashed planes, sea turtles and sharks, oh my!
    Lauren_R, Jan 2024
    After 2 snorkeling trips around French Polynesia, we thought we'd seen it all. We were wrong, there is so much to see and this tour was a blast. Our first stop was to see two sunken ships and a crashed plane! If you dare to free dive, the plane is about 40 ft deep and totally worth a look up close. Our guide also helped with taking our camera to get the best footage for us. The second stop we saw a crazy drop off where sea turtles hang out along with a fresh water spring! The drop off is quite intimidating but totally worth it! Our final stop was with reef snorkeling including rays and black tip sharks along with a delicious lunch! This tour was a blast, we highly recommend!
    Second to none

    This was an awesome excursion. Remi is a wonderful guide. We snorkeled and swim in several places, have drinks (awesome barman!) and had some fruits. I will strongly recommend this exclusion with no hesitation.
    Highly recommended

    Excellent trip. Travelled with our two daughters (both 12 years old) who were both a little skittish about the whole thing. They loved it! Sting rays came right up to us and saw a ton of fish. Highly recommended trip. Thank you!!!
    Fun activity for all ages.
    Mindy_M, Jun 2023
    Guides were very friendly and fun. They were also concerned about safety. We spent time at three different locations and were able to see Spinner dolphins as well as swim with Stingrays, turtles and lots of fish! Enjoyable experience!
    Awesome way to spend our last vacation day in Tahiti!

    Absolutely wonderful morning on the water with this crew. My wife, 10 year old son and I joined one other passenger for a 1/2 day snorkeling trip around the west coast of the island. With only 4 of us on the boat and two captains, we enjoyed a very private and personalized experience. This was one of the few snorkeling tours we've been on around the world where you are NOT rushed at all. We had more than enough time at each stop to enjoy the great views and crystal clear water. The captains were extremely knowledgeable, friendly and showed great respect for the marine life. We thoroughly enjoyed our time interacting with the manta rays and fish. We saw a few dolphins, several sea turtles and lots of interesting coral formations. The fresh fruit and beverages added a nice finish to the trip! We would absolutely book this tour again and highly recommend to others.
