We had the most incredible time on the full-day snorkeling tour with Captain Taina’s team — it was the highlight of our trip to Mo’orea! Our captain, Tuki, and our guide, Clem, were absolute legends. They had us laughing the whole day with their jokes, and their positive, easygoing energy was contagious. You could tell they love what they do — and that made all the difference.
They were also incredibly attentive and made safety a clear priority, which we really appreciated as we were traveling with our two boys (6 and 8 years old). In fact, it was our son’s 8th birthday, and to our surprise, the entire crew brought out a cake with his name on it during lunch on a stunning Motu. He got to blow out candles on one of the most surreal, beautiful little islands we’ve ever seen. It was such a thoughtful and unforgettable moment for our family.
The snorkeling itself was amazing — we saw turtles, tons of sharks, and had an up-close experience with stingrays thanks to Clem, who gently fed them while we got to pet and interact with them. It was safe, respectful to the animals, and such a magical experience.
The food was next level. One of the crew members cooked it fresh right on the Motu, and it was hands-down some of the best food we had on the island — fresh, flavorful, and so satisfying after a full morning in the water.
After the tour, our boys even got to play on the beach near the departure point, which felt like the perfect cherry on top.
If you’re even slightly on the fence about booking — do it. This tour is worth every single penny and more. Huge thanks to Tuki, Clem, and the entire Captain Taina’s crew for a day we’ll remember forever.
