2.Sunset Cruise : Moorea Sailing on a Catamaran named Taboo

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 245 reviews · from $156

Sail Moorea’s coast aboard the small catamaran Taboo, with bay views, island stories, cocktails, and a sunset over the lagoon.

“Leo was a great guide, giving us good historical and cultural information during the sail, as well as plenty of opportunities for photos and conversation. One thing to keep in mind - you will board a small skiff to get out to and onto the catamaran. If you have any disabilities or difficulties in getting in and out of boats, this might not be for you. However, Leo and other passengers will assist if you’re just a bit tentative about the transfers.”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 105 reviews

Review of Moorea’s private Taboo catamaran tour, with reef snorkeling, rays, sharks, tropical fish, drinks, snacks, and practical booking tips.

“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!”
