Amazing experience. Yoan was an exceptional guide, gave us Polynesian history, as well as trip recommendations for shopping, future excursions and dining and even called to make us a reservation for his favorite restaurant. The views and snorkeling were amazing and the vessel was extremely comfortable. I highly recommend! We had friends in our group who get seasick and they thoroughly enjoyed the experience- this tiki boat is balanced and does not move with the waves. Yoan also made sure we were very comfortable throughout the journey, took numerous photos for us and catered the experience to our preference. This tour is a must!

Booking this private tour was the absolute best decision for our family! We traveled with my parents and children—our group included a 70-year-old and a 4-year-old—and everyone had a wonderful time. It was our first time seeing so many dolphins swimming and jumping right by the bow of the boat, and getting into the water to experience the sandbar was unbelievably beautiful. On top of that, our captain was amazing! He was so kind, shared local culture with us, and made sure everyone was well taken care of. He even served us delicious mango juice at the end. We couldn't have asked for a better experience!
Awesome! Great stops. Great Snorkeling. Great boat. Great Guide/Captain. Saw sea turtles, Sting Rays, and tons of other fish.
Amazing! Our captain was so knowledgeable about Tahiti and we felt very comfortable despite strong winds. We had so much fun getting in the water and we were guided on the best snorkelling spots and where to go to eat after the tour! Would highly recommend!
We had an absolutely amazing tour!! He was very informative and took us to some great spots. We were able to see turtles, eagle rays, a shark, and tons of fish. He made sure we were comfortable at each spot and was very accommodating. I would definitely recommend!
We really enjoyed this excursion!. It was a fun and relaxing morning seeing rays and fish and visiting the aquarium to see the sunken planes, boats, and desk.
What great way to see and experience Tahiti via water. You had the option of snorkeling or just walking on the sand bars. Perfectly fabulous!
Great experience and super friendly and knowledgeable tour guide/captain. Amazing time swimming on the sandbar and exploring the reef. Would throughly recommend
We had a terrific experience in the Tahiti harbor. The cruise was completely customized to our interests and was a great way to fill an open afternoon. Highly recommended

Johann is great, He is the best host and really knows how to take care of you. I’ve been out with him 3 times and always had a great time. We always do the sunset cruise.
Fabulous! My 2nd time w Capt Johann I'm with airline crew and will definitely suggest to co workers and passengers on my flights. So peaceful and beautiful Capt Johann is wonderful. We will be back for sure! 🌴🤩🌺👏
The place to be for an amazing sunset, best birthday ever, unique experience with a superb captain, very kind and funny!
WE only wished WE could have stayed longer on the Vaimareva boat. Thanks you to thé capitain Yoan for this lovely moments 😎🥰🥰🥰🥰😜
Yoan was very warm and welcoming on board and shared lots of interesting facts about Tahiti, the islands and lagoons.He went above and beyond booking us a table at the Blue Banana and driving us right up to their jetty where we had a wonderful meal. Yoan even kindly brought a room key to the restaurant that we left on board 😘 5Star service from a lovely young man we wish you every success in your new venture 👏👏👏
My family and I enjoyed this lagoon tour so much! Our driver is knowledgeable, respectful, and made sure we had the best time on board. Definitely 5 stars!!!
WoW! What an experience! We arrived a little early (just as explained) and the boat wasn’t there. We were a little nervous. But, just on time, “Yuan”, our captain pulls up to the dock. The boat is amazing. If you want a leisurely trip to the snorkeling site, take this trip! We had some “motion sick prone” folks on the trip, and it was SMOOTH! All the snorkeling tours go to the same site, so don’t don’t think you’re missing anything. It was a great trip! Whatever you would like to do, Yuan will take care of you!!
We were charmed and pleased by this intimate lagoon experience. The captain took us on a tour to discover a real Tahitian piece of paradise. We almost booked it again the next day for a different excursion but it was already booked by someone else… thank you very much for the trip!
Wonderful boat with outstanding views. It is so nice to see how the lagoon provides so much joy. Everything was very nice.
Very nice experience to live on the lagoon of Tahiti. We booked the pontoon for 5 people and had a great time with our captain. From the beginning, he asked us our expectations and respected, according to his itinerary, our needs. He knew how to explain the marine fauna, put us at ease during our snorkeling by telling us the good spots to see. Really, an experience to do on Tahiti!
We went around Vaimareva with family 2 adults and 2 boys of 10 years. A real success. Our captain Yoan knows the region, the history, the legends in addition to the best sites for snorkling. The pontoon is very nice and we loved the experience. Recommendation without reservation!
The outing on the Punaauia lagoon with the "Barboat VAIMAREVA" was wonderful. The warm welcome, an enchanting atmosphere, swimming on the sandbank and the spectacular sunset... It's an experience to absolutely live! Thanks to Captain Yohann.
An exceptional outing🐬🐠🦀🐋, where we let ourselves go with the waves! The captain was really top notch 🤙 Ideal to end our stay in Polynesia 🏝️
We have just completed a perfect stay aboard Vaimareva. Superb activity, breathtaking view of the lagoon. Direct swimming on the sandbank👌🏽 Super welcoming captain, warm and attentive in the Polynesian way. I recommend 🤩
Great excursion. The guide Yoann is very friendly! The pontoon on the water is comfortable and very stable, therefore accessible to everyone. Drinks and snacks available. We had the chance to see sharks (snorkeling) 🦈 and rays and walk on the sandbank.
Superb view of the lagoon and Moorea, the places visited were magnificent. We had a great time with my wife. I recommend the activity.
Ideal activity to recover from a long trip. A magnificent boat, piloted by a friendly captain in an idyllic setting. Paradise in the literal sense
Very pleasant outing, unique ship of its kind. Great time on the water at sunset for me. Thank you for everything and see you soon
A nugget 🤩 Magnificent outing in the lagoon of Tahiti, the weather was good. Thanks again to Captain Yoan
