Beautiful Moorea views, kind crew, great sailing in both the bays and open sea.

We had a wonderful time with Voila Moorea. Even though the weather was cloudy at first, it cleared up during the tour, and we were able to see so many beautiful and diverse views of Moorea. The explanations on board were very interesting, and the view from the boat was amazing. We enjoyed both the calm sailing in the bays and the more open sailing outside the reef. Doris was very kind and welcoming, and Luca was a wonderful and skilled sailor. Thanks to the Voila Moorea team, this became one of the most memorable experiences of our trip to French Polynesia. Highly recommended!

Fun and Beautiful experience

The guide was very friendly, knowledgeable and attentive. My friends and I did believe that there would be snack food though, which there wasn’t, but the drinks were delicious.

Operator response

Thank you for sharing your experience. We are happy you enjoyed our sunset sailing cruise. Indeed, during this tour, we propose only drinks. It is only for our snorkeling tour taht we propose a plate of fruit from the island to taste. I am sorry it was not clear enough for you. Doris

Sunset sail

JP was an amazing host and made our sunset catamaran sail in Moorea such a memorable experience. He was friendly, welcoming, and made everyone feel comfortable from the start. The sunset sail itself was absolutely beautiful, with incredible views and such a relaxing atmosphere. JP helped make the experience feel personal, fun, and unforgettable. It was one of the highlights of our time in Moorea, and we’re so glad we booked with him. We would highly recommend JP to anyone looking for a relaxing and beautiful sunset sail while visiting Moorea!

Operator response

Wonderful sunset trip along the coast in a small group

It was a wonderful trip along the coast into the sunset. We liked doing this with a small group. Captain Sebastian was great and told us a lot about the area. We loved the mai tais during the sailing. It was a wonderful experience and we really can recommend it!!

Operator response

Dear Michael, Thank you very much for your nice words. We are happy that you enjoyed sailing with us at sunset. Thank you for booking with us.

Not Recommended!

Evidently they sent a cab to pick us up. Not sure if he came to our hotel or another one but they called us at 5:20 said the cab had been there to pick us up but we were not there. They also said that they checked at the front desk and looked for us in the bar. We asked all four people at the front desk and they said nobody had asked for us. They refused to refund our money and we were furious. Tahiti is full of very nice native people but these folks were nasty french types who lie through their teeth. What a nightmare!

Operator response

Dear Richard, We are sincerely sorry to read about your disappointing experience in Moorea. Since the time of your booking, the company has changed ownership, and unfortunately we no longer have access to all operational details related to your reservation or the events that occurred that day. Because of this, we are unable to fully verify what may have happened regarding the pickup arrangements and communications. That said, we understand how frustrating it must have been, and we regret that your time in Moorea was impacted. While we understand your disappointment, we remain committed to providing respectful and reliable service to all visitors to Tahiti and Moorea. We appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback and wish you the very best in your future travels. Kind regards, Doris

We had an amazing time on the Taboo with Leo and JP! They were so great the entire time and really took so many steps to make sure our experience was perfect. The sunset was gorgeous, the scenery beautiful, and the mai tais were delicious!

Enjoying the Moorea sunset

Leo is a great host. We had a lovely evening on the water to enjoy the wonderful Moorea sunset. Small group made it better than most Sunset sails. We actually did sail for most of the time

Sunset cruise on Taboo

Very nice trip. Winds were calm, so we had to motor around which was fine. Our captain was friendly and very knowledgeable . The clouds to the west were too dense for a nice sunset. Mother Nature has her way sometimes. We were on the island 10 days with no colorful sunsets, but that’s the way it goes sometimes.

Perfect rainy evening!

My husband and I sailed with Leo at the end of December and had a lovely time. Leo is very knowledgeable of the area and sprinkled some facts throughout our tour. Although we had some rain, and it was cloudy, we were able to see the sun peak out while it set. Gorgeous views and all in all, a great time! Definitely recommend!

Ideal Honeymoon Experience - Don't Miss!

Leo was the best captain - gave us a great tour of Moorea's stunning shoreline which was accompanied by a big vibrant double-rainbow and one of the most gorgeous sunsets either of us had ever seen, all with Mai Tais in hand. What more can you ask for? Thanks for making us feel right at home and showing us the magic of Moorea.
