A unique experience away from the crowds

If you want a unique, one-of-a kind experience with two beautiful and knowledgable hosts who know the exact right time to take you to the best experiences in Mo-orea, then Mermaid tours is for you. They know how to stay away from populated areas and their photography is amazing! We even saw a rare eagle ray and a beautiful conch shell. The experience is tailored to your needs. Luna's smile and joy lights up every moment of the tour. Highly recommended.

An increase experience

This was an amazing experience. I can’t recommend this company enough. Luna and Clem were wonderful. We did the 7 am private tour and had the black-tip shark and ray place to ourselves, as well as the coral gardens in a protected spot from big currents. We also saw sea turtles and many types of fish. I was nervous but it couldn’t have gone better. I wore a scopolamine patch and it worked great. Worth every penny and more!

Highlight of our trip!

This half-day boat tour was the absolute highlight of our trip to Moorea. My partner and I had an incredible experience from start to finish — cruising through the stunning lagoon and seeing rays and sharks up close in such a beautiful setting. The guides were amazing: super friendly, professional, and made us feel comfortable and safe in the water at all times. They really made the experience special. Everything was smooth, well-organized, and exceeded our expectations. We would highly recommend this tour — it’s an unforgettable experience and completely worth it.

Amazing snorkeling trip

We had an amazing snorkeling trip with Luna and Clem. They knew all the best places to go and how to avoid crowds- they planned our day so we were in many spots by ourselves. We swam with rays, sharks, turtles and tons of fish. Luna was a great guide and captured so many fantastic photos of our family. Best snorkeling trip we have experienced. Definitely recommend and we would go again.

Simply brilliant day

We went on an early morning private tour with mermaid private boat tours to visit the shark and stingray sandbank before the crowds got there. We got then to observe eagle rays and turtles in the water and ended with a coral garden exploration in between the two motus. Luna and Clem are fantastic and we had an amazing day. Don't hesitate this is the way to get out on the water!

Operator response

Ia Ora Na Lisa, So good you guys came out with us early, best time of the day! Thank you for your awesome review :) Mauruuru Roa, Clem and Luna

Highly Recommend Snorkel Experience for Small Group

Outstanding experience. Captain and guide were knowledgeable, enthusiastic, kind, and passionate about the animals. With rough surf and strong currents (storms had just passed through) they helped us still get the full experience. Turtles, sharks, rays, and amazing fish. 10/10
