Booking this private tour...
Booking this private tour was the absolute best decision for our family! We traveled with my parents and children—our group included a 70-year-old and a 4-year-old—and everyone had a wonderful time. It was our first time seeing so many dolphins swimming and jumping right by the bow of the boat, and getting into the water to experience the sandbar was unbelievably beautiful. On top of that, our captain was amazing! He was so kind, shared local culture with us, and made sure everyone was well taken care of. He even served us delicious mango juice at the end. We couldn't have asked for a better experience!

Amazing experience!
Amazing! Our captain was so knowledgeable about Tahiti and we felt very comfortable despite strong winds. We had so much fun getting in the water and we were guided on the best snorkelling spots and where to go to eat after the tour! Would highly recommend!

To do!
Very nice experience to live on the lagoon of Tahiti.
We booked the pontoon for 5 people and had a great time with our captain. From the beginning, he asked us our expectations and respected, according to his itinerary, our needs. He knew how to explain the marine fauna, put us at ease during our snorkeling by telling us the good spots to see.
Really, an experience to do on Tahiti!
