5A great day on the lagoon
This snorkelling trip was great. Our guides/captain were friendly, entertaining and informative, and worked hard to give us the best possible experience. The lunch on the island was a lovely finish to the trip.
5Best value trip on Moorea
We had a great experience with Captain Taina glass bottom boat trip and lunch. From start to finish our tour guide, Kenai, was friendly and knowledgeable. We snorkelled with green turtles, viewed traditional tikis and carvings and swam with black tip reef sharks and eagle rays. And the Poisson Cru was delicious!!! Definitely recommend and taking the rest of our family next year.
5Sham was our Snorkle...
Sham was our Snorkle guide and he was terrific in making sure in explaining the marine life we are seeing and making sure the group was safe during each of the snorkle stops. Would recommend in booking the snorkel tour again!
5Superb tour!
A memorable experience! We snorkeled with turtles, rays and sharks in their natural environment. At our third stop we saw underwater sculptures. Our captain kept switching between fluent English and French. He was very friendly and memorized all 12 of our names. We then enjoyed a delicious Tahitian-style lunch on a small private island, listening to our captain’s excellent singing. A great way to spend the day and if you don’t like snorkeling, the glass bottom of the boat gives a great view.
