Great day on a beautiful island. - The boat ride is in the open ocean so waves can be bigger than inside the reefs. Bring swim/snorkel gear if you like as there may be time, at least there was for us and we weren’t prepared for that

Wonderful day trip to Taha'a! - We had an absolutely wonderful time on the Taha’a day trip. The adventure starts with about an hour by boat from Bora Bora, and that ride alone is part of the fun—cruising through open water with beautiful views the whole way. On Taha’a, our local guide Hiti welcomed us like friends and led us around the island with warmth and pride. We visited a rum distillery, learned at a pearl farm, and walked through fragrant vanilla plantations, with a few other local stops woven in that made the day feel personal and authentic rather than “touristy.” The highlight was finishing at Hiti’s home for a meal. He and his wife were incredibly kind and generous, and sharing food together added a heartfelt touch that we’ll remember for a long time. The pacing was easy, the transitions smooth, and the guides were consistently kind, fun, and helpful. It ended up being one of the true highlights of our Bora Bora trip because it offered a genuine glimpse of daily life beyond the resorts and a deeper appreciation for Polynesian culture. If you’re looking to add something meaningful and different to your time in Bora Bora, this is it. Highly, highly recommended.

Must-Do Ta’ha Excursion! - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Our day excursion to Ta’ha was truly unforgettable. From start to finish, the entire experience was seamless — pick-up to drop-off was absolutely top-level service. Every stop felt unique and special, and we loved how much care and detail went into the whole day. The highlight was definitely the incredible lunch on the private motu. It was, without question, some of the best food we had on our entire trip — fresh, delicious, and served in the most stunning setting imaginable. If you’re visiting the area, this excursion is a must. Worth every moment and every memory.

A dream fulfilled!! All perfect!! - Everything perfect from the first contact. They were flexible, adapted the date and we made an amazing tour all day. Without words to thank Nono and H in the boat and motu, and Hiti and H in the terrestrial part in Taha’a, they took care of every detail with much attention and affection. Wonderful boat, VIP treatment. We know vanilla farm, pearl farm, varied plantations, many historical and cultural explanations, visit local rum production. All always answering our questions with patience. Lunch on a private island with music and dance, special thanks to all who welcomed us in the motu. Wonderful food, unforgettable moments. All perfect!! It would change nothing... I recommend 100%. Unforgettable tour!!

One Of The Best Days Of Our Lives - From the first time I saw the beautiful Island of Bora Bora from the airplane I fell deeply and instantly in love, with the “indescribable” turquoise crystal waters that keep calling me back like a siren’s love song!🏝️😍💓 Manu the boat owner & tour operator called it, “Manna” something that is so spiritual and unexplainable it gives you chills! It has led me to write a love story movie, set in Bora Bora, which was my purpose for taking this boat tour day trip to Tahaa, A Vanilla Plantation, A Pearl Farm, A Rum Factory, and a authentic Tahitian style home cooked lunch & swim on a privately owned Motu, and to The Coral Gardens. This private boat tour was one of the best and most memorable days of my life!🏝️✝️🌅 Manu the owner and Nono our talented boat captain, are the most kind, spiritual, caring, and competent boat tour operators! They were so humble and accommodating and answered all of my questions about Tahiti, and the culture. I loved that they started our boat trip with a prayer for our safety!🙏✝️ The day was so beautiful, so memorable, and I learned so much from Manu about Bora Bora, the people, the culture, the history, about Tahitian Vanilla, The Black Pearls of Tahiti, and all things that I love so dearly about my “heaven on earth”favorite place. We had such a fun invigorating day, filled with overwhelming beauty, joy, and connection to Manu, Nono, and all the gracious, loving, and sincere people we met on our boat trip! I would highly recommend this day trip to everyone that I know. It will be one of those unforgettable memories that you will always reflect back on for your entire life! God willing when I return to Bora Bora again, I will schedule my next adventures at sea & to other Tahitian Islands, with Bora Bora Activites Center and Manu and Nono! Maybe a trip to Island One…🙏💞🏝️🌎 Grateful!🙏✝️ Cheryl & RT
