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!
