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

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.”
