Great experience! I recommend - Superb water ride and easy snorkeling spot. Fins, masks, snorkels are provided and fries were ideal for observing life underwater and the sun. Small tour of the pass and surfers, fishermen and in the heart of the local life of the Punaauia lagoon, it was beautiful to enjoy Tahiti from the turquoise body of water:) The captain of the boat Aorai, Thibaut is a passionate and warmly welcoming sailor. Thanks for the fruit and homemade juice;) I would come back with pleasure and with the family! Mauru'uru roa

Fresh Fruit and Philosophy - We had an incredible day-long romantic swimming and snorkeling adventure with Thibault. We sailed through clear water to the best snorkeling spots with a picture-perfect view of Mo'orea. Thibault provided us delicious fruits with a side of philosophy, and our adventure would not have been the same without him.

We had a great time on... - We had a great time on this tour around the lagoon. We stopped in three different spots to go snorkeling. After our last stop our tour guide, Thibault, had fresh fruit and drinks for us. It was a great way to spend the afternoon!

Love it - An absolutely fantastic experience! The skipper is super friendly, passionate, and professional. Even though he’s only been doing this for a year, everything feels smooth and relaxed. Highly recommended – I’d do it again anytime! Thanks!!!

Sailing fun in Tahiti! - A wonderful afternoon sailing in the lagoon of Tahiti plus a few stops to snorkel beautiful reefs. We swam with the Manta rays and tropical fish. Our Captain, Thiibaut, was so friendly and informative. Our 4 hour tour was well worth it!

Best birthday ever! - We came to celebrate my husband's 80th birthday. Among many fabulous experiences, this sailing excursion was THE BEST. Thibaut was engaging and very helpful to us. Swimming and snorkeling was delightful! The fruit he shared was so fresh and delicious. We highly recommend this trip!

Kudos to Captain Thibaut for a Wonderful Day on the Lagoon of Tahiti - We had a wonderful time with Captain Thibaut. He was very knowledgeable and willing to share all about the ocean and the island. This experience was very personal and authentic and we enjoyed fresh pineapple and drinks. The snorkel portion of the excursion was also lots of fun. If we ever return to this area, we would definitely take this excursion again.

A thoroughly relaxing trip - a great way to spend time in Tahiti - We had a most relaxing and enjoyable trip with Thibault. He did his best to find enough wind to be able to sail without the motor, and we were indeed able to do so for a short time. There was time for swimming in the crystal-clear waters of the lagoon, and snorkelling, if we had wanted to. We enjoyed the fresh, ripe fruit and the delicious rum punch which he supplied. Thibault is a very personable and gentle man, and we enjoyed his company as well as his sailing expertise. We would definitely recommend this trip.

Look for Tibo, not the ship - Great experience after finding Tibo. The ship is not docked and you need to meet with him on shore to be taken out to the ship in a dingy. There wasn't enough wing to use the sails unfortunately. Beautiful blue, clear water. Delicious snacks provided and good conversation.
