Great experience with Vehiatua! We did trolling and 'traditional' fishing with buoys which was cool to see. Vehiatua is great at targeting active tuna , which was lots of fun, and we reeled in two skipjacks and an albacore on the buoys. If you know the kind of fishing you prefer, recommend requesting and he can adjust. The buoy fishing gets slow. Beautiful views of the Tahiti coastline as well!
JB made our day on the water one of the most memorable days of our entire trip to the Tahiti. We would do this 100x over!! Just book this trip already!! The scenery is amazing. We weee fortunate to catch a large albacore but even if we hadn’t we had an absolutely amazing time’
Great ride! A beautiful bonito at the tip of the hook 😁 JB is very friendly and attentive to his customers! Validated and approved activity
We spent an absolutely fantastic day fishing with JB from Tahiti Ocean Adventure, between Tahiti and Moorea. I was with my daughter and friends, and all, young and old, were won over by this unique experience! We caught two beautiful trolling bonitos and a large white tuna using the traditional Tahitian method. JB literally took us into his world: passionate, pedagogue, he explained everything, showed us the techniques, and shared with us his incredible stories of fishing and spearfishing. It is unstickable on fish, their behavior, their habitats and the best ways to fish them. His good mood is infectious, his boat is splendid and perfectly equipped, with high-end equipment. We leave with memories full of mind... and one desire: to come back to go fishing for the sea bream with him!
Encounter with a true nature lover. I came with my 13 year old son who loves fishing. I can tell you that he will remember it all his life. He caught the 3 biggest fish he could never have without knowing it from Tahiti Ocean Adventures. There was trolling and the traditional buoy fishing method (it took fathoms of thread in the water🤣 I had aches the next day). JB, such is his nickname, knows a lot of fishing stories that he has lived: do not hesitate to ask him the one where he was loaded by a longimane shark (it should be made a book, we stayed hanging on his lips while waiting for the fish to bite the bait.) New boat , new equipment , everything is well prepared, nothing is left to chance. He will explain the importance of bird hunting gestures in relation to fish. You can see he has a lot of experience. He passionately shares his knowledge. You will understand, you can go there with your eyes closed.
Many thanks to JB for this big fishing trip A great boy and a great poti marra! A great experience that just needs to be renewed Ua i mata i te mau fetia Mauruuru faahou e aroha mai
Mauruuru Maitai Bob pour ton passage. Ce fut un plaisir de partager ces moments avec vous sur l'ocean. Prends soin de toi À bientôt
Mauruuru maitai Vehiatua for this beautiful big fishing session and for your professionalism and knowledge, we had a nice day as well as a good fishing session, 4 papai (small bluefin tuna) and 1 toheveri (big bonito), which we could enjoy for dinner. For lovers of big fishing I recommend Tahiti Ocean Adventure, for the shot what an Adventure!!!;-)
Mauruuru matai pour votre passage et vos bonnes énergies. C'était un bonheur de passer ces moments sur l'océan avec vous et comme cadeau plusieurs prises. À bientôt #SeeYouOutThere
Captain at the top, thank you vehiatua for this beautiful fishing session and for allowing us to recover the catch of the day. To be done again with pleasure.
Awsome trip great fishing with pilot wales coming very close to us spy hopping right next to the boat We caught 5 tuna landed 3 sharks got the 1st one Highly recommend great boat and skipper
It was a pleasure to have you onboard and to show you around. We had a blast with a lot of ocean’s blessings. See you soon 🤙🏼
The boat was small with a driver that only put out one line and boated us around for 3 hrs, the only water was a large bottle that was warm and already open. After three hours of nothing we went to the reef area and caught to small guppies. Really!! The price was way too much. I would advise anyone the book a fishing experience with your hotel. Oh yes the main driver had a dog but his hand so we got number two. They were both spear fisher man and there was a tournament going on…which I’m sure the main driver was competing in that day. Ps this is the first review I have ever written,, but I don’t want anyone to make the same mistake
Hello, I’m Vehiatua owner and the main captain of Tahiti Ocean Adventures. I’m very upset to read your review but it is what it is. I’m very sorry about your fishing day but my second captain is a really good fisherman not also spear fisherman and said that as soon as you got out of the pass you guys were scared and not confortable to go out there so he had to deal with your fears and try to make you tour as smooth as possible and found a way to make your kids happy while fishing close to shore. I’m sorry to teach you that fishing is not granted, sometimes the fish is not around and you come back home without any, that’s why we call fishing and not catching. And to let know I really got attacked by a dog a bull terrier and almost lost a finger, I was at the hospital getting surgery the day of your tour. Something else you have to know is that we’re not liars in Tahiti. If you want to be refund no problem for me just contact me by email but it’s not cool to break eggs on the local community like you did. Thanks Vehiatua
