Absolutely amazing day out fishing. The captain and 1st mate Tau knew exactly what to do. Could not have felt safer without them!!! Pick up was easy! Guidance and cultural input absolutely great! We cought 2 White Tuna (aka Albacore). Great experience!!! Lunch was perfect and Tau even made fresh Poisson Cru with the orare he had!! Those guys are kings of the ocean. Thank you. We will come back.

Skipjack Tuna!
We did not get the best of fishing, but we did manage to get a 20+ lb skipjack tuna landed. It ended up being a pretty rough day and although we found areas with lots of birds ( = lots of fish usually), we only had one other bite. Still, getting that one bad boy made the journey worthwhile as you never know what you’re going to get with deep sea fishing. Our resort sliced up that bad boy and the 12 of us had a feast that night! At the end of the tour, the guys took us to a shallow area inside the reef where they cleaned the fish and we swam with sharks and stingrays - pretty special.

Bad weather should have never departed
We visited Moorea for our honeymoon and my husband really wanted to have a deep sea fishing experience. The weather was bad but Matahi the owner assured us it would be ok and fish were biting ‘tight lines he said’.
Sorry to say no fish and the trip cut short due to the poor conditions. Our opinion is that this trip should have never gone ahead, felt like he didn’t want to refund our money. Won’t recommend.

Thank you for your review and I'm sad you had a bad experience. Unfortunately I did not find you in our planning. What date did your husband booked? I just want make sure the same client is not doing many bad reviews for the same day.

I paid for a fishing trip, NOT a joy ride
I’m from New Zealand and paid $480 for a four-hour fishing trip with Moorea Fishing Adventures on a 7.5m center console boat. Despite rough weather conditions (25-30 knot winds and a 2.5m swell), I was assured by the skipper that it would be safe and we would target pelagic fish. A 40% refund was offered if I didn’t want to go, but there was no refund policy on the website. Trusting their assurance, I confirmed my spot.
Unfortunately, the advertised skipper was not present, and his mate took charge instead. There was no safety briefing, not even a mention of where the life jackets were, which was quite concerning. We spent half an hour riding out of the lagoon, soaking the front passengers with spray. Once out, we could only travel with the sea due to the conditions. After 2 hours, we arrived at the top of the island. Along the way, we had only two lures out for four paying anglers, one not swimming and the other jumping erratically. We couldn’t fish the buoys due to the rough conditions. After 2 hours, the fishing was over, and we had a 1-hour ride back through the lagoon, cutting the trip short by half an hour.
While I understand that fishing doesn’t always guarantee a catch, professional businesses should assess whether it’s appropriate to depart when conditions are unfavorable. It felt like the trip was more about revenue than providing a quality fishing experience.
After the trip, I expressed my dissatisfaction to Moorea Fishing Adventures. Their dismissive response showed a lack of concern for customer experience. This was disappointing given the time and money invested.
I’ve had better experiences with other fishing charters where safety was a priority and the crew made genuine efforts despite challenging conditions. The stark contrast made this trip frustrating.
For future customers, I recommend doing thorough research as there must be better options available. Moorea Fishing Adventures could improve by:
1. Providing Safety Briefings: Start each trip with a thorough safety briefing, including the location of life jackets and emergency procedures.
2. Clear Communication: Clearly communicate any changes to the trip, including skipper changes and reasons behind them.
3. Assessing Conditions Honestly: Make a genuine assessment of weather conditions and offer full refunds.
4. Improving Customer Service: Be responsive to customer complaints and concerns to enhance the overall experience.
5. Ensuring Advertised Duration: Ensure trips meet or exceed the advertised duration and compensate if they are cut short.

Thank you for review Brian.
I'm sad you had a bad day but the message you sent me the day before could predict your bad review. My deepest thought is you want it to get a full refund even though we confirm the trip that day.
You booked a half day sharing charter with another couple and a teenage on board. Just like you I contact them the day before and they confirm the trip. I would refund you totally if they want to cancel the trip which was not the case.
You are right we had wind that day, just like the day before and 3 days after your trip.
As I told you this wind blows at least from June to September, we call this south wind "Mara'amu" in Tahitian, and it brings the fresh air from the south during our winter.
As I text you, the day before, we live on an island and in this case we are heading to the windward side of the island which is on the another side.
If you remember all the fisherman were fishing at the same spot and went out fishing as well that day.
Let's talk about the other couple on board, off course they were disappointed for not catching a fish but they book another half day trip 3 days after and caught a massive albacore tuna and skipjack tuna. As well as the teenage on board he came back with us and we caught a yellowfin and a huge dogtooth tuna.
I replied to your message after the trip but I just cannot accept your complaint.
To resume you were inform of the conditions. I hope you will get a chance to come back to change this day to a better experience.

Fish on!
Fabulous day with Matahi and his crew. Perfect combination of great guys that worked nonstop to put me on the fish but also were so wonderfully entertaining and informative about traditional fishing techniques in the area. Learned so much and got to try some handlining. Whole booking process was simple and Matahi even picked me up from my hotel. These are the guys you want to fish with!!!
Tight lines and good fun

Catching not Fishing- these are your guys.
These are the guys you want to be on the water with for catching fish. Matahi is amazing and every point from booking the trip online, to pick up at my hotel, to recommendations for Moorea was fantastic.
But of course it’s all about the fishing. And he delivers! We had a gorgeous day to be out. I learned so much from him about traditional fishing methods in Tahiti. Rigging bait to drop from buoys and hand lines. We brought in 4 great size skip jack and had a big wahoo on -but I lost it before we got it in.
I highly recommend them for your fishing adventures. They will not disappoint
Tight lines and calm seas

Disappointing day
We booked a trip with Matahi for my wife and 2 teenage kids we were really excited about. I was in contact with him throughout the booking process and was thinking we were booking a trip to go out with him. When we showed up at the dock to meet Matahi he wasn’t there. He sent 2 of his buddies to take us out.
The seas were a bit rough and fishing wasn’t very good. That’s totally fine. Some days are good and some days aren’t. I understand that from being on both sides of guided trips in my life. We caught 2 small skipjacks which is better than some trips I have been on.
The difference in this trip is you always treat your own clients better than someone else will. We were picked up at 7:30 am by 2 guys that were not Matahi. Started fishing about 8. Trolled for 2 hours attempting to catch fish. Then pointed the boat towards the lagoon at 10 am and went way faster than our previous trolling speed all the way there. We kept the lines in the water but the guides had really no interest in even trying anymore at that point. We pulled into the lagoon at 10:45, reeled the lines in, and we took a 40 minute boat ride back to the dock, trip over at 11:20.
I’m not saying Matahi would have caught more fish than these guys or that these guys can’t fish. I’m saying Matahi would have most likely treated us more like clients and acted like he was trying even when the fish aren’t cooperating. That happens.
I understand days aren’t always good, but you have to make people feel like they are getting there moneys worth. I would not book here again for that reason. Just maybe ask the question who’s your guide before you pay that kind of money to fish.

Thank you for your review and I apologize for this misconvenience.
Unfortunately the sea was rough that day so the crew decide to go fishing in calmer seas.
Unfortunately the wind peak and wrap around the island and did not have find any calmer seas.
The crew decide to head back in the lagoon from the closest pass from your location and this one was located on the North coast.
It takes a long time to bring you back to the dock you parked your car.
The crew on board have been working on the fishing charter for 3 years and have caught bigger fish than Me with this boat. They are experienced fishermen.
I hope you get a chance to comeback so we can go out together and spend a better day.

Epic fishing in Moorea!
I booked the private full day fishing trip for myself, my husband and my brother. Captain Matahi and his brother were very experienced at running the boat and fishing. Once we got on the boat Matahi offered us coconut bread steamed in banana leaves for breakfast which was the best we had on the island. Matahi was very friendly and took the time to show us and explain each method of fishing we tried. We are avid Florida fishers but the methods there are totally different. Hand-lining in big tuna was an amazing experience. He also showed us a method of deep dropping using boueys. We caught a dozen skipjack, yellowfin and albacore. Matahi was great and explained all of the Tahitian words for the fish and birds and the local fishing methods. We were served delicious cooked and raw tuna for lunch on the boat then headed back to shore. Matahi offered us plenty of fish to take back to our villa and cook dinner for 12 plus leftovers. We did several tours while on the island but this was definitely our favorite. We can’t wait to plan a trip back to fish with Matahi again!
