- 826renaem0 contributionsMust do in Moorea!Thank you so much to Max and Jade for such a wonderful day! It was so relaxed but we also learnt and saw so much. Loved every minute of it!Written September 11, 2024
- Adventurer2829130 contributionsExcellent morning aboard catamaran TabooMax and Jan were such a great team, they both collaborated well to ensure that each one of us in the boat were having a good time. We were lucky enough that the weather was calm to snorkel. Additionally, we loved that they were only 8 guest which meant that the boat was not overcrowded. Thank you Max and Jan for sharing your knowledge of the island.Written September 6, 2024
- Compass008974147610 contributionsRecommended!Amazing trip with Jade and Max! Super recommended to anyone wanting to see the best fauna (sharks / turtles / fishes / rays) and spots of the island! Nana!Written August 14, 2024
- ruthw8490 contributionsGreat sunsetStunning sunset, really enjoyed Capitan Leo. Very knowledgeable about the area. I highly recommend this trip, it was pretty amazing.Written August 13, 2024
- Groovy_Bouvy0 contributions10:10 would recommendThis is a must do if you love the tiki catamaran designs by wharram. They’re based on Polynesian sailing craft and this boat does not disappoint. We had an excellent day out and the conditions were perfect. Thanks so much to Leo for being a great Captain!Written August 4, 2024
- Dreamer147536155790 contributionsJ'aime Moorea!Leo & his crew were awesome! 👊 Pick up from our hotel lobby made easy. A short ride to the boat dock, Taboo was waiting, a nice catamaran. A perfect day, so glad we went in the morning. We were lucky, not too windy & the winds are present as seen the next day. He took the time to explain the history of different spots we snorkeled at. He spoke perfect French but explained in English for some of us. I enjoyed practicing my french. An unforgettable experience swimming with big rays (oh so tame) & black tipped reef sharks. Would do it again. I liked how he took care of my apprehensive son, making him feel more comfortable floating on the noodle. He gave us bananas to feed the beautiful fish. Loved the Tikki garden. Merci beaucoup Leo for sharing the Tahitian culture with us. ❤️Written August 3, 2024

- Julie S0 contributionsA must do in MooreaA must do in Moorea. The guide and captain were so fun and welcoming. The views were beautiful and the snorkeling spots were excellent.Written July 19, 2024
- 878karstenm0 contributionsBest tour with snorkeling in MooreaWe booked a half day tour and communication with host was great. Everything worked as described. We had the tour with captain Via and snorkeling guide Jade. It was a very pleasant experience. Jade was very knowledgeable and comforted our 9 year old in the water. I can recommend the private tour to have a stress free and relaxed experience. We loved swimming with sting ray and other sharks. 4 hours went by way too fast.Written July 18, 2024
- robby_43210 contributionsPerfect Private Group TourWe booked the private half day tour and from booking, everything was super easy. Communication was speedy and the team were so friendly and helpful. We weren't staying at a resort so did not have transfers booked. However, on the morning of our trip, our hire car did not start. I contacted Liza on whatsapp who very quickly arranged a taxi for us. They even then arranged a taxi to meet us after the boat trip to take us back to our rental. Such an amazing service. The trip itself was incredible. Louie was super knowledgeable and we loved chatting with him. We go to see amazing coral and fish, sharks and rays. We were not rushed at any point. He offered us the option of going to snorkel the underwater tiki's or if we were more confident in deeper water and swimming, then to go and see some turtles. We saw LOADS. It was amazing. The day ended with a beautiful fruit platter and maitai prepared by the captain. I highly recommend this trip. I don't know what the maximum capacity is for a group booking - there was 4 of us and we booked private and felt the boat was the right size. Any more than 6-8 and it may start to feel a little cramped.Written July 17, 2024
- samanthapD4145LN0 contributions10/10!!Capt Leo was amazing! We had such a lovely experience. He was very knowledgeable and a very safe captain. The Mai Tais were incredible and the views spectacular. Highly recommend!!!Written July 2, 2024
- Dolphin_Travelers0 contributionsWonderful Day on TabooEverything we were hoping for! Louis was very friendly and told us all about the island and what to expect snorkeling, and snorkeled with us on 2 of the 3 stops. Vincent was a great captain. They both made us so comfortable. It was a very relaxing day with beautiful snorkel sites and beautiful scenery as we traveled around. They also provided a nice fruit plate and juice. Also thank you to Liza at Voila Moorea - I had questions before booking and she was very helpful :-)Written June 28, 2024
- D9111CDmichellem0 contributionsA 'Must-Do' in Moorea!I was excited about this trip and it did not disappoint. We saw many stingrays and black-tipped reef sharks, loads and fish and many different types, sea turtles, and as an added bonus, we got lucky enough to see a pod of dolphins that came to "play" with the boat as we started out. The captain was wonderful at spotting marine life and taking us to see it. Our snorkeling guide was very friendly and helpful. Also, the lady who drove the shuttle was very sweet and answered alot of questions about life on the island. This place seemed like the best option (under $800), and after the experience, I can say that seeing other people packed like sardines on huge boats, it's definitely the most enjoyable way to go. Sincerely kind staff, solid equipment, and fun boat (yummy fruit/drink, too). It's a must-do!Written June 20, 2024
- 358ninaf0 contributionsMoorea SnorkelingGreat intimate catamaran. Captain took us to three different places where we saw lots of marine life including tropical fish, reef sharks, stingrays, and turtles!Written June 19, 2024
- Cloteg230 contributionsMagicalI booked the half day tour for my girlfriend and I specifically to see the black tip reef sharks, stingrays and turtles. This tour absolutely delivered. Our captains Louis and Vait were outstanding. They put us on the spot and were extremely informative on both the wildlife, and the culture and history of the locations we visited. Couldn’t recommend this tour highly enough.Written June 4, 2024

The private sunset cruise with Voila Mo’orea was easily the BEST thing we did on our honeymoon. Leo was so kind and showed us around Cook’s Bay and Opunohu Bay. He shared very interesting and insightful history/facts while we cruised along the island.
Leo made us amazing Mai-Tais to enjoy while we admired the views. We truly soaked up every second of this experience and wish it lasted longer. Our advice to you is- DO IT! If the pineapple champagne is an option, I would highly recommend trying it. We enjoyed it while watching the gorgeous sunset!
I cannot speak more highly of this excursion. It was seamless, romantic, and a beautiful way to explore Mo’orea! Thank you x1000, Voilà Mo’orea!

This tour was an absolute highlight of our trip. Leo was such a great guide who was so informative, kind and friendly. Taboo is a stunning boat and it gave us an amazing perspective on the island that made us fall in love with it even more. So glad we got to take this tour 11/10

This was an amazing way to see the sunset in Mo'orea! Captain Leo took us to all of the beautiful spots to see the island, the sunset, and to capture photos. He was also very knowledgeable about the history of Mo'orea and marine life! He treated us like we were very special. He made us each a delicious Mai Tai and served our bottle of Rosé in a cute ice bucket decorate with hibiscus flowers. We would definitely recommend this private sunset cruise, as Captain Leo made this a very memorable experience for our honeymoon!

My wife and I had a private sunset cruise with Captain Leo and had such a great, memorable experience! First off, it was a stunning way to see Moorea. Looking back at the mountain peaks as the sun begins to cast longer shadows, we were left in awe of this beautiful island.
We enjoyed a couple rum drinks as we made a first stop in Cook’s Bay, and we learned a bit about the local history from Leo. After, we went out past the reef and did some sailing, feeling absolutely relaxed as we watched the sun begin to set. We made another stop in Opunohu bay and Leo offered to take some photos of us at just the right moment as the sun went down.
Captain Leo was so kind, and full of information as well. We vibed really well with him, and would absolutely recommend doing a private cruise.

We had a wonderful experience. We were picked up by the Taboo at our hotel dock, traveled to two bays-very smooth sailing, learned a lot about the area, saw a rainbow and then watched the sky light up in shades of orange, yellow and pink as the sun set while drinking pineapple champagne. A great way to end Christmas Day.

Breathtakingly beautiful sunset tour around the island. Captain Leo was very professional and attentive. He went well above and beyond by reserving us a table and a cab to a nearby restaurant Te Honu Iti. Thanks!

This was an awesome way to relax in the evening before dinner. Captain Leo was great! He was friendly and knowledgeable. We really enjoying learning more about Moorea and about local culture.
Captain Leo picked us up from our hotel dock at the Hilton. We had a wonderful time snorkeling for a bit before sailing into the sunset. He served us fresh fruits and juices on board. I would most certainly book him again in the future, and recommend him to anyone looking for a great time.

We had the best time with Leo on the sunset couples cruise. It was just the two of us plus the captain. He made us snacks and drinks and we just had a wonderfully relaxing time enjoying the views and the sailing. Would highly recommend to anyone!!!!

Excellent! We stayed at the Hilton and were picked up at the pier on site. It had been pouring 15 minutes before we were to meet, but the skies cleared and it was an awesome sail with great views. Highly recommend! Back in plenty of time to change and drive over to Rudy’s for a 7pm reservation (another “highly recommend” spot!).

Thanks for coming aboard with us on a Private Sunset Sailing Cruise and for your nice review.
We are happy you had a great time with us.
In Moorea, when it rains in the afternoon it is most likely just a cloud passing by being pushed by the wind so most of the time it becomes sunny again shortly after.

This was a fabulous tour. Our family ages 18-83 went on a sunset tour our last night on Moorea. Leo is very knowledgeable and a great host. During the tour we were served Maitais which was extra special. We are so happy we booked this tour with Leo.
