“Such a cool excursion!! The captain and tour guide were very friendly and informative. They provide you with everything you need for the trip! We stopped at a few locations to see different things and we were even fortunate enough to see a crazy amount of dolphins right next to the boat and even get in to swim with them a little bit. They do have a professional camera taking pictures and videos for you to purchase at the end. We did use our go pro but it was a little hard to use sometimes with the scooter in our hands. Overall great experience and easy to do!”

“Best snorkeling. Beautiful fish, rays, and blacktip sharks. We went to three different locations. First was a sandbar with few fish, but stingrays and blacktips were everywhere. Next we drifted over deeper coral with sea turtles and eagle rays. And finally we stopped at a coral garden with coral and more larger and colorful fish than we’ve seen anywhere else. It was wonderful. Props to Vai and Maui as well.”

“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!”
