Fantastic experience! My family had the boat to ourselves and loved every minute. The crew was amazing and made us feel welcomed and relaxed-enjoying our magical day on the ocean
The snorkeling was fantastic. (Not as good as Bora Bora though, but still great.) Our guide and captain were both awesome, too. Just note, if you're taking the ferry from Tahiti, the dock they use is on the other side of the island and they don't pick up/drop off from the ferry. So I would only recommend this tour for someone staying on Mo'orea unless you want to make an entire day out of visiting the island (renting a car, etc.).
We had an amazing day with Captain Vai and our tour guide Louis!! We did a private half day charter and loved every minute of it! We swam with sharks, stingrays, and turtles, and Louis guided us on one of the best snorkel experiences of our lives, where we found many unique shells and experienced some incredible reefs.
Thank you very much Felicia for your nice words. We had a great time with you on board and we are happy you enjoyed spending this tour with us.
Great crew and experience! Mauruuru!!
Thank you for your nice words. We are happy you enjoyed it.
This was the most incredible day, if you want to see the beauty of Moorea from a catamaran, privately, away from other tourists, and this is the cruise for you. Beyond phenomenal, we were able to sail ( not motor) out to our first snorkeling spot where we were able to swim with sharks, yes, they are safe, and stingray. Our next stop was amazing and my favorite out amongst the coral garden. Our tour guide was very caring as he spoke lovingly about the coral and how to preserve it and keep it alive and beautiful. The colors were amazing. I had no idea that there were coral that were purple and blue and the fish, I’ve never seen so many species in one place. It was beyond beautiful, our last snorkel spot was to look and learn about the underwater volcanic stone statues created in 1998 by artist Tihoti Guy. Simple beautiful. Having a day on the water with these great guys ( Henri- Luca and our guide ❤️) I will remember with joy this experience the rest ouf my life . MUST DO
Dear Don, thank you very much for sharing your experience and your nice words. We were delighted to have you on board with us and are truly happy you enjoyed the time on the water with us.
We chartered the sailboat for four hours. Under sail and motor. It is Eden. Perfect. The crew was attentive, caring and did what we wanted. We went to places with few tourist but abundant beauty! Ask for Louie! We learned so much. Thank you does not express our gratitude!
Thank you Stephen for sharing your experience. We are truly happy you enjoyed your private tour with us. Thank you for chosing us.
The crew was great and the tour was perfect to snorkel with sharks and stingrays and see some beautiful sites on a private tour. Would highly recommend to anyone coming to Moorea!
Wonderful time. We enjoyed our snacks and drinks. Just right after snorkeling and swimming. We recommend this highly. Thanks for sharing your island with us.
Mauruuru to Louis and Vaï for this great ride aboard the catamaran Taboo! Vaï braved wind and tide to take us to heavenly spots and we greatly appreciated the explanations of our guide Louis on the ecosystem and culture to make this moment even more unforgettable.
This was a fantastic experience for our family of 4. We were able to have the pleasure to honored Taboo 4 years ago and the experience was even better this time around. The views are incredible, the snorkeling was amazing. We were able to see rays, black tip sharks, sea turtles and even dolphins in just 4 hours. We appreciate Taboo over the other options due to our desire to get away from the crowds. Thank you so much for creating memories for our family!
