Communication was excellent & we met the boat in the harbour. Wonderful guides, easy to understand & very funny. First we swam with the reef sharks & sting rays. This is an amazing experience. Then deep water swimming with turtles. 3rd stop was in the shallows to feed the fish with bananas. Lunch was then supplied sitting at pick tables in the water & feeding the sting rays. As I have had 2 knee replacements I did struggle a little getting in & out of the boat but guides were very helpful. Highly recommend this tour company.

The snorkeling was definitely the highlight of this tour. The guides started with a deep water snorkel where we saw sea turtles and many other fish. The next stop was in shallows where you could get very close to both sting rays and black tip reef sharks. It was also very popular with all of the tours in the area. So if you are disappointed with snorkeling in shallow waters where you see more legs than fish this may not be for you. However the upside is you can get very close, and are safe, to the sting rays. The lunch was good, but the island away from the shore is private land and in this case was quite derelict with a lot of trash and garbage. If you stay near the water it is very nice and the sting rays come round so you can feed them and pet them.
Great tour for young old! I’m terrible with names but we absolutely loved these guys! The narrator gave us numerous stories and history of their beginnings and culture. We snorkeled in several different places and actually swam with stingrays and sharks. The lunch was amazing as we sat on picnic tables in the water. Numerous stingrays and sharks swam around us while we ate. You will love this experience!
We had an unforgettable experience with Rai as our guide and Mana, the boat pilot. They are both kind and fun and Rai provided wonderful cultural and historical information about the island he grew up on and the history of his people on the island. We did plenty of snorkeling at our leisure and were lucky enough to see huge amount of dolphin, rays, turtles and beautiful fish all around and also famous underwater tikis of a local sculptor. The sights of both the Cook’s Bay and Opunohu Bay from the boat are breathtaking. We were delighted with the experience and would do it again in a heartbeat. Mauruuru, Rai and Mana!
Wo and Michel were the best tour guides we could ask for. They were hospitable, funny, nice, accommodating and knowledgeable. They were also a lot of fun & taught us about Moorea’s history and culture. We had a few snorkeling experiences that my husband loved (I’m not a strong swimmer so I stayed on the boat with Wo and still had a great time!) I did momentarily go in though to see sharks and sting rays which was pretty incredible, not to mention, my favorite, the turtles coming up for air! I really enjoyed the lunch too. It was delicious along with the opportunity to eat lunch with our legs in the water while sting rays continued to swim underneath our feet. It was fun! The cultural part at the end was also fun. Learning about the plants, medicinal uses, and culture of the Moehi, people. It was educational and profound. Tip: please bring cash with you. We made that mistake and didn’t get to tip our guides who went above and beyond. These guides work hard and deserve tips too, so please bring cash.
This is a snorkeling tour, yet there is nothing on the website description indicating that part of the experience. Bring your gear and wear a swimsuit. We didn’t and missed out on the snorkeling. The website needs to be updated to fully describe what this trip entails. The views of the island from the lagoon were nice and the lunch was good. Rays swam under your feet while you ate. The tour operators were also not planning to bring us to the cultural center, so we had to ask to see it. The center is fairly sparse and there’s not much there. Bottom line - this would have been a much better experience had we known snorkeling was involved.
Thank you for a wonderful day around Mo’Orea - even if the weather wasn’t 100% you made it shine for us! Fun, knowledgable and well worth the money - would highly recommend :) Mauruuru Michelle and Yo
This was supposed to be a land and sea cultural tour. The land component was canceled with no prior notification, the lectures regarding culture, traditions, and heritage were conducted in French and I am an English speaker who is not bilingual. This ended up being a snorkeling trip and I dressed for a land excursion with no snorkeling equipment. Consequently, I bobbed in a boat for 7 long hours listening to a language that I didn't understand.
We were so surprise about how diverse, educational and yet fun this tour was! I thought it was going to be a long day for being in the water on a boat but it passed so fast so much fun we were having! Stephane and Maui are so personable and fun and they really care about your comfort. It was really a unique tour with a couple of really neat surprises ( I wont spoil it for you by spelling it out..) The memories made on this tour will stay with us for years to come!
FABULOUS tour that really stands out from the other tours we took. Stephan is a caring and knowledgeable guide that truly cares about his clients and the environment of Moorea. The spots that he takes you to visit are amazing. We truly had the perfect day! I highly recommend.
Very good atmosphere with Captain Yo and Junior on the boat. We were able to see turtles, rays, sharks, and fish. Good meal on a motu.
Superb excursion with Michel and Junior with many explanations about Cooks Bay, and dives always very well done by Junior I highly recommend it
I booked the 100% lagoon excursion and it was the highlight of my stay in Moorea. The team gives us a wonderful and warm welcome, making everyone feel comfortable immediately. The atmosphere throughout the day is excellent and authentic. The captain takes us to beautiful spots where the underwater life is incredible (rays, sharks, and colorful fish in crystal-clear water). The highlight of the show: a delicious local lunch shared with our feet in the water amidst a postcard-perfect setting. Everything was perfect, a big thank you for these memorable memories. I recommend it 100%!
An absolutely fabulous day with Moorea Tiki Tour! Small boat, small group, friendly atmosphere, and high-quality service from start to finish. We discovered the beautiful bays of Cook and Opunohu by boat, with the incredible bonus of observing dolphins. Also on the agenda: swimming with turtles, rays, and sharks… unforgettable moments in a paradise-like setting. Lunch on Motu Tiahura was also a true pleasure: a beautiful plate generously filled, with our feet in the water, as the rays gently tickled our feet. If you could only do one excursion in Moorea, do not hesitate for a second: this is the one! An experience we recommend without hesitation.
An exceptional day, alone in the world among rays, sharks, turtles, and lagoon fish, in the turquoise waters of Moorea, with the very professional team from Tiki Tours. Not to be missed!
Great end of day with tiki tour, excursion Sunset sunset. The guide and the captain are very kind. Go ahead with your eyes closed.
A great memory, thanks to Uncle Dext and Mana the captain. We were delighted with this day thanks to their presence, a great meeting. Thanks to Stéphane who has a top team.
We did the Lagoon Tour in Moorea. We visited 3 spots where the chance of turtles, rays and sharks was particularly high. The goals were a complete success.. The staff very friendly and endeavoured that we had a good time . Highly recommended
A unique and magical experience. A great team, very interesting. Much has been learned about the origins of Polynesian peoples, their culture and also the island of Moorea. All in a more than friendly atmosphere. The timing was well calculated to avoid the crowds. Thanks to the 2 captains for your help in the water, my sick arm was not even a handicap anymore. Top top top. Thanks to Yo and Michel. Highly recommended excursion.
We spent an UNFORGETTABLE day with the Tiki tour team who were the only service provider to offer a history and legend section of Moorea. Perfect excursion for those who want to combine learning about the local culture and discovering the natural marine beauty of the island. We were able to see dolphins, turtles, rays and fish in abundance. Thanks again to the entire team who transmit their culture and knowledge with passion and enthusiasm. Nana 🥰
Thanks to YO and MANA, the pair are great, great day with you, everything was perfect, kindness, explanations, Polynesian culture, respect for nature, lagoon, safety at the TOP. Thank you friends, the kiss of Caledonia. MARURU
Visit to the lagoon with Yo and Michel, an unforgettable moment shared with family, I recommend 200% Michel is fascinating and explains Tahitian culture in great detail , Yo shares his hunting and fishing experiences, all in a good mood. I loved the quality of the exchanges, I say bravo, congratulations are from the good its two captains, beautiful people. Fabrice
Excellent Welcoming. An unforgettable ride. Kindness of Stéphane who picked me up and showed me around the island before meeting an incredible crew through his kindness, his sense of hospitality and his attention to others. I enjoyed exceptional conditions as I was alone on the boat and I was able to discover snorkelling, accompanied and safely , a sublime environment and my first encounter with a mantra ray, black-spawned sharks and turtles. Not to mention the myriad multicolored fish. This day brightened my stay. I highly recommend this tour. Thank you again. I still have stars in my eyes when I talk about Moorea. It's worth a visit and I'll be back...
Our two brothers Yo and Michel had a fantastic day, the cultural, the legends snorkeling with sharks and rays, the meal on board on turquoise water, everything was great, thanks to them for their professionalism, kindness and spirit. Our last excursion in Polynesia a real success we leave with nostalgia but beautiful moments.
Cultural tour made with Yo, Mara and Ra'hi, three joyful adventure jokers who made us live an unforgettable day. Tales and legends, rays, sharks, snorkling, we took full eyes, without forgetting the original meal with feet in the water, all with respect for the local flora and fauna. Thank you to them for this incredible experience!
Great experience! Chad & Maui are perfect! Despite the rain we had a great day! Mauruuru roa!
I thank the supplier Moorea Tiki tour for his Welcoming and good humour. Despite a whale trip With no goal achieved, the land and sea exit was great. I thank Stéphane for her dedication and try to renew our whale trip at no cost. To discover the beauty of Moorea I recommend Moorea Tiki tour.
We had a great day, bcp information about Polynesian culture, what a treat! We realized a dream, it is to swim with rays and sharks. Thanks to our skipper Réo and also to our guide Maui.
The top!💪 Passionate, helpful, competent, kind and I surely forget some. Legends, culture and accompaniment are the keywords of the Moorea Cultural Centre Thank you to Stephane (captain) and Maui (half god of men and...women)😁for everything
Très bon accueil du capitaine et guide. Avons passé une excellente journée et avons pu découvrir le lagon ainsi que la culture polynésienne. Plongée et baignade dans le lagon en compagnie des raies. Visite du centre culturel de MOOREA et fabrication d'un tapa. Très bon historique de la culture et des légendes polynésiennes. A recommander sans hésitation.
We spent a pleasant day with Stephane and Teheura super friendly and superb ride!!
