Excursions

  I was really excited about this sunset sail and couldn’t wait to get some beautiful pictures and relax on the water. Unfortunately, that is not how our trip went down.… read more We were picked up from the hotel in the back of a 4×4 truck which we have seen other tours do. Then we got to the place on the roadside where we get in the dingy boat that takes us to Taboo. All 6 guests from the truck squished into the dingy boat which had wet seats so most of us had wet pants/dresses right away which was not ideal. Then we got on Taboo, which is very nice, and the rain and wind and waves took over. The captain tried his best to get us to calmer places but most of us were soaked from waves coming over the side from early on. He also tried to give us some history but had little time as he battled the wind and it was also very hard to hear him because of the weather. The six of us collectively asked to just go back home early because truthfully, it was not dry or relaxing at all. We were cold and wet and there were no towels. We managed to grab a picture each before we got off the boat, but definitely not the picture we were all hoping for (dry, happy, relaxed, makeup still on our faces instead of being washed away by waves). I truly think this trip should have been rescheduled for us before we even set foot on the boat. One of the guests called ahead to ask if we would get wet, and was told not at all. I checked my email so many times leading up to it to see if they canceled due to the windy weather, and they didn’t. When another guest said the wind was up in the 30s (in knots, I believe), the captain seemed surprised and asked which app he uses. But the guest was an avid boater so I don’t believe he made it up or used anything incorrect. All in all… I’m sure this is such a lovely ride in good conditions. The people were lovely and the boat was very nice, but this ride was not enjoyable and not at all what we thought it would be. …

  We spent 6 hours aboard the Taboo sailing, visiting the lagoon, snorkeling and just relaxing. Marc was the perfect captain and host with his laid back personality and thorough knowledge… read more of the vessel and the island. We visited several key spots, anchored in a perfect snorkeling spot near Coco beach, had a great fruit platter and Mai Tai’s, and just sailed to several spots. Definitely an excursion that I would recommend.

  What a perfect day on the water. Leo and Liza put together the most memorable excursion on our trip to Moorea. We spent the afternoon and early evening with Leo… read more (Captain) and Antoine (First Mate). Swam with rays and sharks, and had a fabulous time. It was just myself and my two year old son, and we had such a wonderful day. Everyone was so kind and accommodating – I will remember it for a lifetime! Thank you crew for the best day and the great memories!
