A perfect day in Raitea. - Kenzo (Ken) was our captain and guide. He provided a wonderful tour and experience. Made everything special an personal. The drift snorkel was just amazing with sooo many fish. Then he toured us through a vanilla farm too. I have nothing to suggest for an improvement. It was our favorite excursion of our cruise.

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!
