We did this excursion as we love excursions/tours that are ran by family owned local operators. This was a fantastic experience top to bottom. Narii is an extremely friendly and helpful tour operator, and his boat is pristine. With the half day lagoon tour we hit three big spots, one for sharks, one for rays, and one for the coral gardens. All three were great stops. Mid trip we also stopped randomly in some deeper water as a large manta ray was spotted and we hopped out to snorkel above it. During the trip Narrii made sure to give tour notes/directions in both French and English, and provided water/juice/beer for his guests. Having a Hinano as we cruised the lagoon in itself was a relaxing and fantastic experience. As we only did the half day, we stopped at his family's property to drop off the full day passengers, who were stopping for their lunch break provided by his wife. While waiting we got to walk around their beach area and were even provided a fresh fruit salad snack, which was an unexpected treat.
I highly recommend Narii's cultural tours, you won't be disappointed! And Narri, thank you to you and your family for hosting us!
