Itinerary
Boarding and breakfast served as soon as we leave the dock. Local pastries, fruit, fresh juice, coffee or tea.
Once disembarked in Tetiaroa, during the trip, our hostess will tell you all the history hidden behind this island as mysterious as it is preserved. Arriving after 15 minutes in the heart of Tetiaroa, you will see its immense lagoon, with the famous "Bird Island", with no visible construction around you. Alone in the world. It's time to walk around freely, go swimming, go see the birds, take photos, or even sunbathe!
Back at the boat, lunch is ready and waiting for you! Raw fish in coconut milk, hot rice and barbecue marinated tuna. Accompanied by fruit juice, water or other cold drinks.
Snorkeling around the boat and along the reef with the equipment provided on board. Many marine species to observe: reef fish, sharks, you can even hear the whales in the distance.
Just before returning to the marina, a glass of cold punch is served to you!

This excursion was perfect. The staff on board the Mokai took great care of us from start to finish; thank you again, Poe charter, for introducing me to Tetiaroa in such a great atmosphere. I highly recommend this excursion with Poe charter.
Top-notch excursion with a friendly crew that takes great care of you.
We went to the meeting area right on time at 5:45am for the 6:00am departure and waited until 6:30am. There were a total of 7 people waiting, and finally, at around 6:30am the tour company's phone was answered. We were then informed that the tour was canceled ostensibly because of weather. However, the weather could not have been better. We think it was canceled because it was a holiday. Unfortunately, no advance warning was given. Not happy!
Average performance. Nice crew but it is not a profession (lack of explanations, anecdotes, etc...) Simple meal on board but which could have been much superior (rice and raw/cooked fish; we have already seen better), not to mention the lukewarm fruits that were offered to us in the morning but not at lunch... The atoll is very beautiful but it’s as well elsewhere, see better (Maupiti, Tikehau, etc...) As for the bird island, whose myriad birds are superb, it is possible to go around but alone (without accompaniment or explanation). In short, disappointed with this benefit, which is not given, I advise against it.
Beautiful day trip to Tetiaora. We were welcomed and served by a charming, competent and helpful team, on a magnificent boat. it was an enchantment at all levels with bonus, an excellent buffet.
Extraordinary. Do not forget the diving shoes, sunscreen, cap. Essential. You really have to go around Bird Island. Walking in the lagoon.
Did not get to go on tour, the provider cancelled less than 30 min before the 5:45 AM start time. They were not able to get ahold of our hotel and so did not inform us. We spent $50 to cab to and from the marina and about an hour running all over the marina trying to find them. They never showed but knew we did not know it was cancelled. I also emailed them plus used expensive data to try and call them that morning and never even got a reply. Incredibly unprofessional with the late cancel and leaving us abandoned. The next day they also cancelled even though there was beautiful weather. Avoid or be warned of very last minute Cancels and terrible customer service or communication,
We are truly sorry for the disappointment and inconvenience you experienced. We fully understand how frustrating it must have been to wake up early, and not be able to depart as planned. On that morning, due to unexpected operational constraints, we were forced to cancel the departure very early (around 5:00 AM). We immediately contacted all guests. In your booking, the contact number provided was the hotel reception (open 24/7). We called at 5:10 AM and waited, but unfortunately were unable to reach anyone at that time. Shortly after, we spoke with the hotel activities desk and explained the situation. We were assured they would relay the information to you directly. We later saw your email sent around 7:00 AM saying “we are here,” and at that point we had already informed our agency partner so they could assist and manage the situation. We did not receive a direct call from you that morning. We sincerely regret that the communication did not reach you in time and understand how this resulted in additional taxi expenses and stress. This is certainly not the experience we aim to provide. Please know that cancellations are always a last resort and are never taken lightly. Safety and operational reliability are our priority. We truly value all our guests and remain committed to improving communication processes to avoid this situation in the future. Kind regards, Poe Charter Team
We enjoyed the day from beginning to end. Fresh fruits for breakfast and snack, delicious lunch prepared on boat, time to lounge at a paradise island. Oh! And the delicious and powerful punch! But the best was the crew and captain! Lots of great energy. We even connected with other travelers.
GREAT excursion, from booking to realization everything was at the top. The contact person (for booking and weather cause postponement) was responsive and accommodating. The crew cared for all passengers (including the sick, even if there were few). The visit to the island is just great, the meal on the cata perfect, the snorkling outing discreetly framed so as to feel safe without feeling watched. I particularly appreciated the respect for the local environment (for example no food discards that would bait fish, it is up to us to adapt to their presence or absence). The fresh fruit at the end of the trip was perfect to end this superb day. Thanks to the crew of 25/11 who were at the top. Nana.
Weather null,zero cancellation the crew was entirely French freshly arrived ,knowing nothing and not very welcoming, disappointing. They did not speak an English word so 2 American couples left abandoned with zero explanation There were two boats of the company that day, and the other was much bigger and faster for the same price. We would have loved to be on that one, where the crew was Polynesian with smiles all the way to the sky, bursting with energy. We came across the wrong boat that made all the difference.
