Loved it!! - Great tour!! I highly recommend it. Kenzo is a really cool guy who is gonna make sure you have the best time possible. His boat is awesome, plenty of shades and very stable. Also easy access at the back when you step up the ladder. The lagoons are spectacular and you get to visit 2 islands with Taha'a. We also went to a traditional meal on a stunning little motu (island). Even as a Tahitian I was blown away. Thanks mate im sure I'll see you again! Thank you for your cheerful attitude

Amazing private boat tour – unforgettable experience! - We had an incredible half-day private boat tour, even though it rained! Captain Kenzo went above and beyond to make sure we had the best experience possible. He took us to the most beautiful spots, adjusted the route to avoid the worst of the weather, and made the entire day unforgettable. We also did a lot of fishing and caught plenty – such a fun and exciting part of the trip! The boat was comfortable, the views were stunning, and Kenzo’s energy and knowledge made all the difference. Rain or shine – this tour is 100% worth it!

Great experience!!! - Great experience in Raiatea! We were able to discover the island, the lagoon, Taha’a and the pearl farms with a really nice captain. In addition, we even had the surprise to do some fishing, which was not planned. An incredible day that I recommend without hesitation!

Off the beaten track - My partner and I had a great time with Kenzo. He got us snorkeling in 5 spots, all quite different from each other. He's really passionate about the ocean and easy going. It was quite fun to snorkel above the corals while being dragged by the boat. My partner even went above a turtle. Highly recommended!

Day out lagoon - Excursion to the top around Taha’a, not being much on the boat makes the excursion even more enjoyable. The snorkeling was superb (rays, sharks, corals...), and the crew really nice!! Cultural stops (vanilla, pearls, rum) were interesting without being too long. We highly recommend! Mauruuru!

Highly Recommend!!! - Kenzo is awesome. He is highly knowledgeable about the lagoon and Island. From snorkeling to deep sea fishing. I wanted to fish for bluefin trevally on light weight gear and he set up everything for a perfect day of fishing. I caught some trevally and ended up going out multiple times with him. He is a hard worker and shows up on time and gives you 100%. I will definitely hire him again on our next trip. Walt

Highly Recommend!! - Kenzo took us to all the best spots and was very accommodating to all of our requests especially given that we have our grandfather with us! So the tour is suitable to all ages. He was so knowledgable about all things related to the water and land. Kenzo organised lunch in the most spectacular little island which was a lovely surprise! The boat was super clean and comfortable even for myself (pregnant). Thank you for showing us all the hidden gems of your beautiful islands, we have an incredible day!

Inoubliable - We had a very nice day trip, we could visit our beautiful island in another way, this time by boat, visit the fare vanira, the Mana’o rum, the pearl farm of Love Here pearl farm, continue on the Tuahi motu with a good buffet at will, and a good swim on this motu. We learned a lot during this excursion, special thanks for our superb guides, THANKS to our Captain Kenzo and his wife... good continuation 🙌🏽 blessed Heimana and Haunui PAYET.
