Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- nancyempire0 contributionsDo not bookHorrible customer service. apolline was very difficult and Un accommodating. She cancelled my tour for no reason simply because i asked her a question. See in the photo below. She also cancelled my sisters tour due to bad weather but the weather was beautiful. Fraud company. Do not waste your timeWritten July 18, 2019
- Isidora R0 contributionsExcelent kayack experience !We did this activity because it was recommended to us by another tourists. Apoline is an excelent kayack teacher, and she makes you feel very secure. We did the half day activity so we went first to see the sharks and rays, and after we had the chance of going to a private island to do some snorkeling and having a break with a very tasty chocolate cake. Even though there was some current, she explained us so well how to swim there, that even my husband who is very afraid of swimming in the ocean had a good time! We had a very nice time. As we included the photos, The same day we recived them in our email and they were really pretty . 100% recommended.Written April 6, 2019
- Ashley G0 contributionsGreat way to see Moorea from the water!My husband and I are so happy we did this excursion. The clear bottom kayaks were a neat way to see the marine life. Don made sure I got to see a sea turtle before the excursion was over. Highly recommended!Written January 12, 2019
- r0berts0nlisa0 contributionsPerfect day outThank you so much to Apolline and Don for the wonderful custom they showed to our family. It was so lovely to have such a small, personalised tour instead of piling onto a boat with 80+ other people. Apolline even celebrated our sons 9th birthday with chocolate cake and a candle, which was extra special because we hadn’t organised to do this for him! If you want to swim with the sharks and rays then there is no better option that this. Do yourself a favour!Written July 17, 2018
- judenwaz0 contributionsTransparent KayaksFantastic trip where we swam, snorkeled and paddled around the island. We swam with sharks and stingrays which was the best experience! Fabulous guide with a great sense of humor and even feed us home made cake! Thanks for the great experience!Written June 10, 2018
- Carri B0 contributionsBest Excursion on Moorea !We would do this tour again and again. It was so awe-inspiring and varied, it is hard to put into words.....beautiful, tranquil !! Absolutely loved it and Dun is a very knowledgeable guide....5 star definitely !Written March 29, 2018
- Lianne A0 contributionsSunset tourWe booked a sunset tour and were lucky enough to be the only ones that day so got a private tour. Although it was a little chilly once we were wet, the tour was great. Donatien took us round the motus close to the reef edge where the water is too shallow to go in a bigger boat. He was great .. taking amazing pics and video on his go pro. This is a small outfit run by a lovely couple and highly recommend! A really eco friendly way to see a gorgeous island. Great rum and passion fruit cocktail too!Written September 8, 2017

We had booked the sunset tour. Our group consisted of six people on three kayaks following our tour guide, Hugo. He lead us through the coral reef against some strong current. He was very attentive to our safety and always checked up on us. Once we arrived to our first stop, Hugo gave us some juice and snacks to enjoy while watching the sunset.
We did some snorkeling before went to the spot where there were black-tip reef sharks and stingrays.
We saw so many sharks, it was amazing. We saw them closeup with our goggles and snorkels. Hugo was always next to us, telling facts about Moorea and the sharks.
The tour ended with us kayaking back to the shore while admiring the beautiful sunset.
I would recommend this to anyone visiting Moorea.

My husband and I had a lot of fun on this excursion. The surroundings were absolutely gorgeous. Our tour guide Hugo was very friendly and assisted us with the kayak since neither of us had previous experience. Disclaimer: Kayaking is very tiring so be prepared to get a workout! We were taken to a couple of different areas for snorkeling and saw lots of coral and tropical fish and also a stingray and shark. We also stopped for a snack of pastries, fresh fruit and rum punch which was very tasty. Would recommend this tour for anyone visiting Mo’orea who wants to get off their resort to explore other areas of the island!

Despite a little hiccup when booking which was ultimately quickly resolved, we loved this activity. Lagoon explorer have the only fully transparent kayaks and I assure you it is a fantastic feeling. Our very kind guide settled at our pace, kindly offered us a punch on a motu and we went to enjoy the rays and sharks in the lagoon. A return to the setting sun which further enhances the moment. I highly recommend you.

Part of our group cancelled and unfortunately couldn’t be refunded, so it was just one of my friends and I. We got there and the abandoned resort felt like a movie set as the bungalows were showered with vines. We were greeted by our instructor and he immediately was one of the nicest people we’ve ever come across. Half way into kayaking we got tired, so he offered to pull us the rest of the way to our first stop. He was very encouraging and honestly, I would say that this tour is for all experience levels! He also offered us pineapple juice in a coconut on the beach, which was simply divine. During the excursion, we played music and we got to know a little bit about him, the island, and what it’s like living there. Lastly, he taught us a lot about the fish, sharks, and string rays he took us to see. BOOK THIS TRIP.

We are located in the former Intercontinental hotel which is closed to the public for accommodation due to covid, you got lost going to see the bungalows

Thanks to our guide who showed us the wonders of Moorea, we were able to swim with rays and sharks, discover turtles, and benefit from his many tips. We were even treated to a little sweet break accompanied by fruit juice and punch. He was very kind, welcoming, a real joy.

My wife and I loved this tour -- Hugo was a great guide! The kayaks were nice, and it was cool to see the fish through the transparent bottom. He took us to a snorkeling spot near a smaller island off Moorea and we saw lots of colorful fish and corals. He also provided snacks and drinks and we relaxed near the island. For the last stop we went by a shallow sandy area where there were lots of sharks and stingrays. Overall highly recommended!

Better than expected! We kayaked along the shore for a bit and saw a bunch of fish, stopped for a little break and pineapple juice, then went further in to the spot with sting rays and sharks. It was so cool! They had snorkeling gear available to borrow, as well as dry bags. Guides were very nice. Scheduling was quick and helpful. I would definitely recommend!

We got to swim with sharks in an extremely close distance. At one point we had six sharks around us, an amazing experience. Hugo is a great guide, knowledgeable and attentive. He is always by our side and point out unique fish or shark for us. The sunset setting is magical. One cannot ask for more for a prefect tour.

We had an amazing morning with our 2 guides Hugo and Moana.
they guided us to a snorkelling spot by showing us the small islands on our way and telling us some legends about the islands. We were able to swim with rays and sharks, it's really magical. Hugo and Moana are on top!
