We booked this private morning trip after seeing it recommended on a few websites. We were keen to have something less touristy and more local - this was beyond perfect!!
We booked by emailing the team and they replied almost instantly and with ease. They picked us up at our hotel and to the boat.
This isn’t a commercial boat or experience - this is something much more intimate where you get to be part of the crew, do things you might not get to do on more public cruises!
The boat is unique - a double canoe with sail. That means you get the benefits of an engine at times, but the wonders of sailing at other times. The guys let you hoist the sails, direct the boat and get involved!
We set off very early and that’s a massive benefit. The lagoon is your own with no other boats. The fish are spectacular and all the stops breathtaking. Sharks and rays and tikis! Then, even better, swim alongside the boat with the turtles!
The two guys on board, JR and Nainoa were absolute gents. They looked after everything we could need, kept us fed and watered and shared their stories and experiences.
I couldn’t recommend this enough. The private trip was luxury and above and beyond what we could have asked for. Thanks guys!

What an epic morning out on the ocean on a super cool sailing vessel. Unique experience that I highly recommend to anyone visiting Mo'orea. Captain and guide JR and Nainoa were professional, welcoming, friendly and knowledgeable.
It rained on and off during our 4hr cruise but it didn't affect the trip at all. The rain was colder than the water so it was nice to jump into the warm lagoon to heat up after a cold shower of rain haha.
Did a few snorkel stops along the way with experienced guide Nainoa who was attentive to all guests in the water, ensuring their safety, while pointing out awesome creatures such as green sea turtles and spotted eagle rays. The tiki stones snorkel was interesting and again, Nainoa made sure all guests got a brief lesson on each of hte tiki's meanings.
The sail was interactive so JR had everyone help hoisting the main sail and driving the boat. He also played the nose flute beautifully for us at one of our final snorkel spots.
The tropical fruit platter was exquisite with an array of yummy local fruits cut up for us to pick at whilst we cruised.
Both JR and Nainoa spoke English which was a bonus for me since on my cruise there were 2 French families with young kids. I felt we all left having had a wonderful experience.
We always double-check the availability with our local partners for each booking. Even though this is usually a swift process, it can take up to 24 hours. Once this process is completed you will receive your voucher or ticket by email. If our local partner is not able to confirm your booking we will offer you the best possible alternative. If the new date and/or time doesn’t fit your itinerary, we will reimburse the full amount paid.
