4 different snorkelling experiences, and 3 scenic 4x4 lookouts. Staff were friendly, helpful and patient
This was an all day trip , had 3 amazing snorkeling spots , we got to see big mantas and swam with sharks . Third stop was coral garden beautiful spot . Our tour guide was local showed us spinner dolphins and took us to island where we had an amazing lunch . Then they took us back where they had a 4x4 waiting for us that drove us around island , to three vantage points of the island. where we got spectacular photos the off roading climbing the hills was so cool. Told us all about island’s history showed us plates and what they are used for . This was one of the best experiences we have had on an excursion. Highly recommend
Just wanted to share that a three-week visit in Tahiti in November was nice, but... it rained a lot on all islands we visited almost every day (Tahiti, Moorea, Raiatea, Vahine Motu, and Bora Bora). The biggest disappointment is that near our hotels, Intercontinental PPT, Sofitel Moorea, Vahine Private Island, and St. Regis Bora Bora, all of the snorkeling was disappointing. There is a lot of coral bleaching and there are not that many fish. We didn't take a snorkel tour; maybe that would have helped. For transiting these islands, we used Aremiti ferries, which worked out well, and Air Tahiti (VTA). On VTA we purchased premium seating to enable us to have an extra weight allowance. VTA is pretty strict about weight and we saw people undoing their luggage and rearranging things to maintain minimum weight. With premium, you are allowed to check up to 46 kilos per person which is quite a lot, but we carried our own gear. It is a lot less stressful but costs about 50% more. Food at all of the hotels is eye-poppingly expensive, and, a command of the French language is almost a must. There is a serious dearth of people who speak good Engilsh and who know about how to prepare cocktails and who understand food allergies. Most places were able to accommodate a Celiac and it wasn't really necessary to bring our own GF items. If you want your Manhattan every night, then bring good bourbon and vermouth. Most hotels had a limited ("lame") selection of alcohol. If drinking is not your thing, then you won't miss it. Next time we are going in the dry season.
The most amazing day. Everything was perfect and I would recommend this excursion to everyone. Tiba on the boat portion and Mata’i for the 4x4 portion were spectacular.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We are so glad you had an amazing day and that Tiba and Mata'i made your experience memorable. Your recommendation means a lot to us and we hope to welcome you back soon for more adventures!
