Tanya – Australia

Great catamaran, beautiful location, food was excellent. French speaking so missed a bit of the explanation by the guide on the island. The boat crew tried to explain to us separately which worked ok.

Jacqueline – United States

We absolutely loved the crew, the location, and the experience on the boat. The breakfast, lunch, snacks made for a delicious day. The crew was really helpful and cool throughout the day. The beach where they take you on the island is the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen in my life. Can be a little tricky to get parking and find the location of the boat that early in the morning, and in the dark. So just give yourself plenty of time. And if there are two boats leaving that day, it could be that yours is not where you see the group standing. So just walk a bit along the marina to be sure you have the right location. Primarily held in French but the crew can come over and translate to English, which they did. Amazing day!!!

Full description

Start your day by meeting your guide at 5:45 AM at the Papeete Marina. Leave the dock at 6:00 AM as your delicious local breakfast awaits. Fill up on Viennese pastries, fresh fruit, coffee, or tea before the adventure starts. Enjoy a scenic 2-hour crossing and begin to catch sight of the island ahead. Arrive shortly after and approach the island on a dinghy landing. Once disembarked, the hostess begins her guided walk to Bird Island, where the history and legends of Tetiaroa will unveil their secrets to you. Enjoy free time to explore the island, take photos, swim, sunbathe, or take a siesta. Head back to the boat where lunch awaits you: raw fish with Tahitian-style coconut milk, hot rice, tuna marinated on the barbecue with fruit juices, water, and cold drinks. After lunch, you'll be provided with snorkeling equipment so you can swim along the reef and observe all the marine life. After swimming, return to the boat and depart for Tahiti. Before arriving, you'll be treated to a fruit salad and a glass of punch.
