We recommend it 100%

Alex and Tehere formed an incredible duo for this ray and shark snorkeling trip. Despite the somewhat rough weather, we felt safe, they put us at ease, and the atmosphere was cheerful. Thanks to them for the very clear explanations, and their guidance with a smile. We loved the experience with them. Kenavo, Faucheux family (Régis, Nadège, Alexis, Briac, Capucine, the Breton fish).

Exceptional shark and ray snorkeling.

We had booked a shared tour to see the rays and sharks and we were blown away. The guides were very friendly, warm, and attentive to each of our needs. We also appreciated the ethical and responsible side of the tour. A moment that will remain in our memories.

Exciting snorkeling trip

Our snorkeling trip was a real moment of pleasure, under a beautiful sun that enhanced the lagoon's waters. Our guide Alex knew how to prioritize safety throughout the trip, with clear instructions that allowed everyone to enjoy the experience with peace of mind. The explanations about the marine life, rich and fascinating, added a real educational dimension to this swim with the rays and sharks. We are leaving with beautiful images in our heads, but also with new knowledge about this fascinating ecosystem. An activity that is both fun, safe, and educational, not to be missed during a stay in Moorea. Thanks to Alex for his professionalism and his infectious passion, and to our captain Jean for his humor!

Very nice experience with Moana Adventure Tours. Alex was an exceptional guide, very strict about safety, he explained a lot of things to us about the fish, the sharks, and the rays. We were very lucky that day with wonderful weather, we were even able to see manta rays. We have a little girl with us, and what was really appreciated is that he paid attention to his clients, he took great care of everyone, very kind and very serious. We really recommend this guide, thank you Alex! And thank you Moana Adventure Tours!

Seahorses, rays, sharks, and so many others

We were able to see multicolored fish, the promised sharks, as well as a few rays. Our guide Tema helped us discover several spots and tried to show us as much as the sea had to offer us today; seahorses and an octopus embellished this long-awaited coral garden. Thank you Tema for your kindness, thank you also for sharing a piece of this Polynesia with us while respecting the marine animals - we will be back, Nana!!

Operator response

Ia Orana, Quelle belle rencontre avec le lagon ! Entre les poissons multicolores, les raies, les requins, les hippocampes et même une pieuvre, cette sortie semble avoir été riche en découvertes. Merci d’avoir souligné la bienveillance de Tema et sa façon de vous faire découvrir la vie marine dans le respect des animaux. Nous lui transmettrons votre message avec grand plaisir. Nous serons ravis de vous accueillir de nouveau pour une prochaine aventure ! Team Moana Adventure Tours

Best Tour Ever!!!!!

This was me and my mom’s favorite excursion we did the entirety of our two weeks in French Polynesia. We booked this tour through a Windstar Cruise, and it was everything the description promised and more! To start off, we saw numerous black tips sharks and stingrays, countless beautiful fish and coral, and even bonus dolphins and a sea turtle! Our three tour guides, Epineson, Alex, and Cyril, made sure we were well informed on safety practices (especially since there was a stronger current) and how to ethically interact with the wildlife. Alex in particular was very humorous and knowledgeable, and he even got in the water at one point and taught my mom and I about the different fish swimming around us. We learned a lot about the marine life and living in Bora Bora, and we had so much fun seeing so many bucket list creatures! This was a 10/10 tour, and I would recommend it in a heartbeat.

Operator response

Ia Orana, What a pleasure to read that this excursion was the highlight of your two weeks in French Polynesia! Seeing blacktip reef sharks, stingrays, colorful fish, dolphins, and even a sea turtle must have made the experience truly unforgettable. 🐬🐢 Thank you as well for your kind words about Epineson, Alex, and Cyril. We will be delighted to share your message with them. They will be very happy to know that their knowledge, humor, and passion for Bora Bora’s marine life made the tour so special for you and your mom. Thank you for choosing to explore the lagoon with us. We hope to welcome you back for another memorable adventure in Bora Bora! Team Moana Adventure Tours
