Underwhelming experience
I really don’t like writing negative reviews, but I feel I need to be honest, especially given the price of this experience and the other tours we’ve done in Moorea for less money.
Unfortunately, this tour was simply lackluster. We’ve had other experiences in Moorea that were much more enjoyable and where the guides went out of their way to make sure everyone was comfortable and having a great time. That level of care just wasn’t present here.
I certainly can’t fault the operator for the rain we experienced—that’s completely out of anyone’s control. What was disappointing, however, was the lack of attention to our comfort. There were no towels, coverings, or other accommodations provided despite the weather, and it felt as though minimal effort was put into making the overall experience enjoyable.
The difference was especially noticeable compared with a recent day tour we took, where the guides were incredibly attentive and clearly invested in making sure their guests had a great experience.
Bottom line, I left feeling that this tour was not worth the price. Based on our experience, I would not recommend it and would encourage travelers to consider other options in Moorea.

An exceptional experience
We had a wonderful sunset tour with Voila Moorea. This evening outing is a calm and soothing way to admire the sunset in complete intimacy, away from the hustle and bustle of the day. As the hour progresses, the lagoon empties of its excursion boats, and we find ourselves alone on the water! It was very pleasant to take the time to sail slowly and observe every contour of the two bays while sipping a cocktail.
A big thank you to our captain, Seb, who was very kind, highly professional, and competent. He shared his knowledge about Moorea while ensuring that everyone had a great time.
The calm of the lagoon, the colors of the sky at sunset, and the peaceful atmosphere made this experience unforgettable!
We highly recommend Voila Moorea to anyone who wishes to discover Moorea differently and experience a moment of serenity in a small group.

Un immense merci pour ce beau retour Maeva & Guillaume ! 🌺 C'était un plaisir de vous avoir à bord. Nous sommes ravis que vous ayez apprécié notre sunset tour. Seb sera très touché par vos gentils mots ⛵✨

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!
Operator response
Thank you very much Inyong for your nice words and for sharing your experience. We were very happy you enjoyed the sunset sailing cruise with us. We had a great time hosting you.

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!

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!!
