Captain Taina

This was our 10th time going and it still never gets old! This is our absolute favorite tour and we will be back again in May :-) thank you Captain Taina and crew, you are all amazing! And whoever is reading this I would never hesitate to book this tour.

Great afternoon that started with very good meal on a nice island and some spectacular snorkeling with turtles, sharks, rays and obviously many colorful fish. The guide, Caroline, was very energetic and informative and we've had a very good time. We felt secure the whole time, really accessible to everyone.

Wonderful experience. Took our nearly 5 year old (who had just learned to snorkel the week prior) who had a great time swimming with the rays and sharks. A gentleman holding a Captain Taina sign picked us up from the Aremiti ferry unloading area. We drove along the east side of the island, stopping to pick up another family along the way to business HQ on the NW area of Moorea. Shortly after arrival we all loaded up into a boat (sadly, and without prior notification nor reimbursement, the glass-bottomed boat was out of commission), about 17 guests total. Will note here that there were snorkels to check out free of charge as we were one short. Our snorkeling tour guide, Caroline, went over our plan for the day, in both French and then again in English. Moto (sp?) was our boat driver. After some safety discussions we jumped into the water right off shore where we all held onto a long rope in intervals and were effectively dragged over various green turtles spotted below us on the ocean floor, also witnessing several coming up for air. We then made our way out to the second snorkeling spot to see statues and ruins underwater. The third and final snorkeling location was the highlight of the trip in fairly shallow water with several rays and blacktip sharks. The perfect spot for a great photo op. Last stop of the tour was a delicious lunch on the private island of Irioa where we enjoyed rum with pineapple juice, canned beer, skewer-roasted maka and vegetables, freshly made poisson cru with rice and fresh fruit for dessert. Well worth the $$.

Our group booked the full-day tour with Captain Taina and it was an unforgettable experience! From start to finish, everything about the day was incredible. The staff truly stood out—they felt like a close-knit family and clearly cared deeply about the environment. Their respect for the wildlife and dedication to preserving the beauty of the island was inspiring. Throughout the tour, they were both informative and passionate, which made the experience even more meaningful. We were lucky to encounter an amazing variety of marine life, including turtles, rays, sharks, and countless vibrant fish. It was breathtaking to see these creatures in their natural habitat, and the staff made sure we approached everything responsibly and respectfully. The lunch provided was absolutely delicious—fresh, flavorful, and the perfect break to relax and take in the beauty of the island. I highly recommend booking with Captain Taina! The island is stunning, and this tour lets you truly appreciate its magic. If we ever return, we’ll be booking with them again without a doubt!

A simply *Superb* experience. I cannot recommend doing this enough. If you are in Mo'orea and are looking for something to do, do this! I did this with my partner and it was 10/10. A beautiful day out with our awesome guide Caroline who was absolutely fantastic! Herself and our skipper were absolutely attentive to everyone's needs and requirements; whether it was a pool noodle to make floating easier, a large floatie for a toddler, aqua gear/snorkel gear or even food allergies everything was taken care of smoothly. We loved learning all about the sea life and local stories and smiled so much all day our faces hurt. Beautiful underwater landscape where we got to see green turtles, spotted eagle rays, a Hawksbill turtle, innumerable fish, black tipped reef sharks and even swim with stingrays! What an incredibly precious day to have spent! The food was absolutely so so tasty and made in front of you which was such a treat! Then you get to relax on the small private island (drink in hand if you wish 😜) or keep up the underwater exploration and see another stunning coral garden! We felt so welcomed and included it was a fantastic day. The tour was given first in French then in English and nothing was left out! Staff 10/10, Experience 10/10, Food 10/10. What's not to love. Make sure to wear enough suncream and to cover up if you are pale, the sun will get you 🔥🫡

An amazing day snorkeling! We saw turtles, rays and reef sharks among all the beautiful fish. Our guide, Chris was superb, friendly and extremely knowledgeable. His captain, Moena (sorry if I spelled that wrong!) was also just as great. The full day with lunch on a private motu was delicious, fresh and filling. I would easily go back to this outfit again. Professional and outstanding.

Our guide Kenae was so genuine and informative as well as very patient and caring with the kids! We had a large group of 17 for the shorter tour (including 3 kids ages 3-9 and a 5month old baby in a travel pram) we have been snorkeling many times and to a lot of Pacific islands and everyone said this was the best snorkeling and tour we have been on! Highlight of the trip so far! Thoroughly enjoyed the drinks and hospitality afterwards and bonus watching the sunset over the private beach! Thank you Captain Taina's team!

We had the best time. My husband booked this store and I wasn't really looking forward to it because I'm very prone to sea sickness and the idea swimming with sharks made me quite nervous . But I would return to Moorea just to do this tour again. Our guide and boat captain were incredible. They were so knowledgeable about the history of the area, the turtles and sharks and fish. It was a small group and we bonded very quickly. I stayed in the boat for part of the snorkling and because the boat had a glass bottom I didn't feel like I missed anything. the boat captain spent a lot of time positioning the boat so that I could see turtles and eagle rays. After the tour we had lunch that was incredible. I'm guessing that this tour is very popular and probably should be booked as soon as you know you're coming to Moorea
