I give it 1 because zero is not possible. We strongly advise against it.
Experience booked for our honeymoon, on my husband's birthday.
With us was the guy who was supposed to be our guide and another couple.
Totally lacking assistance because we were the only ones who did not speak French. Windy afternoon with waves, he did not explain the program to us, we started paddling to the motu (about 40 min) and he left us behind, we got stuck twice in the coral and he saw us from afar, without coming back to help us. On the way back it was even worse, completely alone and he was far away with the other French couple (they were two men who were following him, my husband and I had no experience with the wind and waves and were struggling).
He was annoyed and only helped us in the last 10 minutes, when I asked him please not to leave us behind.
Impossible to contact customer support.
We do not recommend it

Ci dispiace che questa esperienza non abbia soddisfatto le vostre aspettative.
Siamo tuttavia sorpresi dalla vostra percezione dell’accompagnamento, poiché non è ciò che riscontriamo abitualmente. Quel giorno le condizioni erano particolarmente ventose, rendendo l’esperienza più difficile. Purtroppo, non possiamo controllare le condizioni meteorologiche.
Ci dispiace sinceramente che vi siate sentiti trascurati e prendiamo comunque in considerazione il vostro feedback.
Vi auguriamo una buona continuazione.

Incredible kayak tour in Moorea
We had an absolute joy on this excursion kayaking around Moorea! Our guide was incredible and fun to be with during the duration of our trip. We kayaked a total of ~2 miles, with a stop along the way in shallow water for a juice tasting that the guide had brought with him. We then rode off to the snorkeling area where we were able to jump in and swim around with sharks and sting rays. I highly recommend this for anyone looking for a bit of exercise with a great view and fun time around the water!

Must in Mo’orea!
This was one of my favorite things we did in Moorea. We opted for the sunset clear bottom kayaking and snorkeling. The kayaks are for 2 people, but we had an uneven number so I was alone. It was a little difficult alone because of the current but I pushed on and our guide helped me about halfway through but offered from the start. We kayaked for a bit and stopped for drinks in a shallow spot and we were offered rum with mango juice or NA pineapple juice. After that we headed toward the area where sharks, rays, and some fish like the hang out at. This was the best part! I thought I would be scared but the animals couldn’t care less that you are swimming with them. It was magical to see them in their natural habitat like that, all the creatures are so gorgeous. If you think you’ll be nervous just test out standing by kayaks, the spot we go is shallow enough to stand the entire time but still deep enough to snorkel. The sunset was for of course too. Thanks to our wonderful guide for the help and making the experience amazing. There was plenty of parking, you’ll pull up to a gate with a guard and then he will tell you where to go. There’s a shower for a quick rinse after the experience. They offered dry bags and a place to store extra things you didn’t want in the kayak. Everything in the kayak will get wet! Enjoy!

Cool Kayaking Experience
Wonderful kayaking experience with super nice guide. The clear kayaks made for a uniquely cool experience - we saw quite a few sharks and stingrays
FYI - the kayaks ride low in the water, so they require more effort that traditional kayaks.

April kayak, snorkeling and sting rays
We were able to ask questions about Moorea. Then we kayaked out to a gorgeous photo spot and had a drink out of coconuts standingup to our knees in clear blue, warm water. Then we were helped out of the kayak in a canal to snorkel. The fish were feeding, all different colours and sizes, while we floated with the current down to a sandy bottom area where we could stand, surrounded by coral gardens. We saw reef sharks close around us and sting rays. Our magnifique guide, Manu, fed the sting ray by hand so we touched the sting rays slimy face while he was eating. The tern birds were diving, it was a crazy experience, feeding frenzy. Loved this tour. Thank you to Manu.
Operator response
Thank you very much for this wonderful experience you shared! We are delighted that you enjoyed every moment of this lagoon adventure, from the crystal-clear waters to the encounters with sharks and rays. Manu will be very happy to read your kind words. It was a pleasure to show you the beauty of Moorea. Mauruuru
