An outstanding guide and an excursion full of discoveries.

We greatly appreciated our guide Will for this excursion on the lagoon. The guide has very in-depth knowledge in all areas, including fish, wildlife, and flora, with a professional approach to all subjects. We recommend that if you take this excursion, you choose Will as your guide.

Top excursion 👌

Very nice outing on a traditional canoe with a top guide (Wilfried) 👌 we swam with the rays and sharks in the turquoise waters of the lagoon, extraordinary experience. Lunch on the Motu was perfect, thanks to the chef Elvis 😉.

Wilfred is illegally destroying Moorea's ecosystem one selfie at a time

Giving this operator your business is actively contributing to the continued illegal destruction of this beautiful island. They're burning the local ecosystem for selfies and a quick buck. Wilfred — the Rick James lookalike with the mustache — was openly hand-feeding sharks and rays during our visit on April 2. Feeding marine wildlife in French Polynesian waters is illegal, full stop, and he knows this. It conditions wild animals to associate humans with food, disrupts natural foraging, and creates real safety risks. Rays approaching humans means something is really wrong. I personally watched him lift a stingray to the surface with food and encourage tourists to pet it — a group of two or three people actively handling the animal. Touching rays removes their protective mucus layer, exposing them to infection. He also hands tourists bread to feed reef fish directly. Bread has no nutritional value for fish and actively harms them — it expands in the digestive tract, causes bloating and impaction, and displaces the algae, invertebrates, and plankton their physiology is built around. Chronic feeding alters population behavior, draws species out of their ecological roles, and degrades reef health. This is not a rogue employee. When confronted with another reviewer's identical concerns, the owner responded in writing defending the practice, citing Wilfred's 30 years at the sandbank as justification. They know. It's policy. Meanwhile, people who follow the rules get robbed of natural wildlife behavior because these animals are now performing for scraps on cue. Report it to the Direction des Ressources Marines or the local gendarmerie if you witness it. Illegal, ecologically harmful, and deeply selfish. I have video is anyone is interested

'Ia ora na "100mgr", Thank you for sharing your concerns. We noticed your review was posted under a pseudonym, and we believe that constructive feedback is always more helpful and credible when the person shares their full identity.

We take environmental laws and the wellbeing of marine wildlife very seriously and work closely with local authorities and conservation groups to ensure responsible practices. Sustainable tourism is a shared responsibility involving the entire community and visitors alike. We kindly remind everyone that the environmental impact of travel extends to all modes, including cruise ships. We encourage thoughtful reflection on how we all can contribute to preserving these special places. We appreciate all feedback and concerns that help us improve and protect this unique ecosystem. We encourage anyone with specific evidence or serious worries to report through the appropriate official channels so that they can be properly addressed. Our goal is to offer authentic, respectful experiences that foster appreciation and care for Moorea’s natural beauty. Māuruuru

Michael was great and had...

Michael was great and had a lot of island and dolphin knowledge. Very entertaining even if we didn’t see any dolphins. However, we felt to many people were allowed on this small boat. We had 22 people and it was shoulder to shoulder with people having to sit on the front bench as well as the small bench at the captain’s station/column. I would not go on this tour again unless it was maximum 16, maybe 18 people at the most.

Operator response

'Ia ora na Cheryl, This must be a mistake, as we have no captain or employee named Michael, and our local outtrigger canoe can only accommodate a maximum of 12 passengers. We would appreciate it if you could forward your comment to the correct company. Māuruuru

3 hour lagoon snorkel

We did the 3-hour lagoon snorkelling tour and it was a fabulous excursion from start to finish. Wilfred, our guide, was incredibly knowledgeable, great fun, and made sure we were all well looked after throughout. It was a small group tour, which made the whole experience feel relaxed and personal. We saw stingrays, turtles, and an amazing variety of fish—but Wilfred really made the trip extra special. Would definitely do it again!

Māuruuru roa Paula ! Thank you for being part of this wonderful adventure :) We look forward to welcome you back, Māuruuru roa !!

Best snorkeling!

What a blast! Some of the best snorkeling and sightseeing activities in Moorea. Our tour guide, Nilato, shared the history of the island, and we saw spinner dolphins, sea turtles, snorkeled with reef sharks, and even got to pet stingrays. Nilato also provided towels, swim goggles, and drinks at the end of the trip.

Operator response

Ia Ora Na and thank you for taking the time to leave us such a kind review! Nolte and the entire team look forward to welcoming you back. Mauruuru roa!

Good Communication for a Quick Snorkeling Trip in Moorea off Cruise ship

Good communication through WhatsApp and email. Although a late start captain Mana was very good showing us 2 sites: first for rays and sharks and 2nd on a nice beach with coral. They also got us back to the ship on time creatively contracting with a taxi service to drop us at the tender dock.

Beautiful excursion!!!

A superb day unfortunately tarnished by rain (we were unlucky on this one). Mana and her colleagues were great: kindness, lots of humor and friendliness. The lagoon, the pastenague rays, the sharks: being in the middle of it all leaves speechless (too bad the weather did not measure the beauty of the blues that dazzle the eyes in good weather). The raw fish with coconut milk was delicious and the freshly grated coconut a pure treat. The small pareo knotting demonstration to end the day was very nice as the pure coconut leaf braiding activity make a basket. Congratulations to Mana and all her colleagues!!

'Ia Ora Na, Nous espérons tout de même que vous aviez pu profiter de votre journée malgré la météo et serions ravis de vous accueillir à nouveau à bord et dans de meilleures conditions météorologiques. Prenez soin de vous et merci beaucoup pour votre retour !! Māuruuru 🌺

Undoubtedly not to be missed

Morning outing with Captain Mana and his wife. 3 hours of simple and pure happiness! Dolphins, turtles, rays, sharks, fish, corals ... we had the right in one morning to discover the Moorea Marine simply magnificent. Supervised by Mana and his deep respect for local wildlife, accompanied by very interesting explanations, and an immense generosity and kindness on his part and that of his wife. In short, if you come to Moorea, don't even ask yourself whether or not you want to go on this trip Recommended!
