10/10 experience!

A must do in moorea! We had the most magical experience snorkeling, cruising around seeing beautiful water and mountains views and had the best captain and guide. Louis not only provided us with so many fun facts about the island and marine life but also gave us local recommendations for the rest of the trip that we did and we are so thankful !! Thank you!

Operator response

Thank you very much Morgan for your nice words. We are very happy you enjoyed coming with us.

A magnificent walk in the lagoon

One-day cruise in small group (3 people) on a nice little red catamaran. Captain Leo with little care for us, coconut milk fish, fruit and Mai tai were very appreciated. And what about the sumptuous landscape, both the lagoon and the vegetation of the island. Beautiful swimming experience with sharks, beautiful corals and submerged tikis. The very experienced and very friendly captain is a real plus during the ride. To do absolutely, thank you Leo!

AMAZING - Family of 5 Perfect trip

The most amazing experience of our trip! From swimming with black tip sharks, stingrays, every color of tropical fish, seeing green sea turtles, a group of eagle rays, finding 7 finger conch shells, beautiful coral it was magnificent. We were a family of 5. 3 girls ages 6-12years old, the boat was perfect, the food delicious, Captain Leo perfectly professional, patient and knowledgeable. We will be back and will 100% book with Captain again. It was raining hard in the morning and we boarded in drizzle and the day turned out absolutely stunning and wonderful! Loved every second.

Best boat day & captain!

The best boat day with the most amazing captain! He provided the most amazing experience by taking us to the best areas, teaching us about the history of the places we went too, and preparing a lovely snack and drinks & providing a perfect lunch. We saw sharks and sting rays & had the best overall snorkeling experience any of us could have asked for. I would recommend this tour and captain to any family or friends & would go again myself if I ever return to Moorea

Absolutely incredible day!

For our 5 year anniversary, we booked this tour as a private boat tour from 11:30am til sunset. Was it a little expensive? Yes. Was it WORTH EVERY PENNY? ALSO YES. The husband and wife team that run the company are a wonderful couple from France who make their living bringing joy to those visitong Moorea. We spent a wonderful day with Captain Leo seeing all the snorkling spots around the coast, seeing wonderful fish of every color, rays, small sharks, turtles, and even a mother whale and her calf!! The views were amazing and with the engine off and the sails unfurled, Captain Leo was in his element. Great speed, calm seas, wonderful views. Add to that, the captain served as both captain and waiter bringing delicious local food and beverages for us to enjoy. He truely made our special day one we will remember forever. 15 out of 10, can not recommend more highly for either the private charter we enjoyed or a group outing.

Most Amazing Captain & Most Romantic Excursion!

My husband and I booked this excursion for our honeymoon and it was absolutely amazing! It was a windy day which we were nervous about but our guide made the experience just as amazing even with the not so ideal weather conditions! Our Captain, Emilien, was so knowledgeable, friendly and personable! The lunch was a tuna and rice dish which was so delicious! We had booked the "Romance" package which also included them decorating the boat with beautiful fresh flowers and greenery, a flower crown for me and a leis for my husband. Also in the package was fresh fruit that our driver literally stopped at a stand on the side of the road on the way to the boat, so awesome! But one of the best parts was the local pineapple champagne! It was so great and we got to enjoy it at the end of our excursion during sunset- so memorable! Thank you for such a great experience and start of our honeymoon! I highly recommend you book Taboo!!

MUST DO IN MOOREA

My wife and I spent 7 days in Moorea and 2 days in Tahiti and the day we spent on Taboo was the best day of our trip! From pick up to drop off, this was an incredible activity. Leo is an awesome captain (and person) and does everything to make sure you experience the magic of Moorea's Lagoon. The tuna and coconut rice lunch that Leo prepared was incredible. My only regret from our trip was not spending 2 days on the Catamaran! This is a MOOREA MUST!
