I booked a snorkeling trip; there were other people on board, it was so good, great spot, no one around, we were alone on the water in front of the Maraa caves with a very beautiful coral garden full of fish and turtles. Isabelle took great care of us, it was a beautiful day, honestly worth doing again. Last year I also did a whale watching trip 🐳🐋 for my birthday, it was magical, a very beautiful entry into the water with a lot of respect for the whales, it was so great; this year I am going back on the same date, so good and not too expensive.
An incredible morning with Isabelle, who showed us the wonders of this part of the lagoon; thank you for all these discoveries, it was just amazing. The feeling of being alone in the world! Crazy visibility!
Awesome experience! My wife and I haven’t snorkeled in awhile and this was a great opportunity to begin our snorkeling in Tahiti. Our guides were excellent and very patient with us. We went to two locations in the lagoon. We saw a variety of fish and coral. We would go with them again.
Super nice family outing. The welcome is very nice, the equipment at the top and the boat very comfortable.
Merci pour ton commentaire Séverine :) et à bientôt
Isabel was amazing and very patient with some of the other customers on the boat who were not as comfortable in the water. She kept apologizing to us but we were fine ... she pointed us to the areas to stick to for snorkeling and the whole experience was just amazing! I would totally recommend this excursion to anyone wishing to experience the magic of the coral reefs on Tahiti!
Our snorkeling tour with Isabelle was great. Our group of 3 were the only ones booked on this trip, so it felt like our own private exclusion. First we went out between a gap in the reef. We saw guys surfing. We waited 5 minutes to see if any spinner dolphins were around. Unfortunately the day we went out they weren't. We headed back inside the reef and went to our snorkeling spot not far away. Before we got in to the water, Isabelle showed us on a chart, of all the different fish we would see. She also took the chart with us. We followed her around a coral garden. Isabelle did not rush us and she let us look at our leisure. Isabelle is very passionate about the sea life and protecting the ocean. The fish and coral we saw were amazing. Isabelle even dived down to point out a turtle for us. Isabelle kept checking we were aright. We felt safe at all times. There was no current where we were snorkeling. After the coral garden we went to a shallow lagoon to have a quick swim. Just after we got back into the boat, 2 stingray swam right up to the side of the boat. Isabelle is a wonderful guide. Thank you Isabelle for an amazing trip. We highly recommend this snorkeling tour.
Isabelle and Roger were wonderful guides! No dolphins when we went, but we saw turtles, so many fish, and got to watch the surfers out in the channel. Great activity.
Didn't see dolphins or turtles but had snorkelling in 2 spots which were lovely. Boat is well set up and clean. The crew are good. We had enough time at the snorkelling spots to enjoy it
We had a lovely snorkeling excursion with Isabelle. She is very knowledgeable and took us to a nice and calm reef. Best way to coordinate the excursion, is by what’s app.
Thank you it was a pleasure to meet you. Enjoy your trip in Polynesia
