Don't miss out - Very fun day circumnavigating the island on a comfortable outrigger. Chased two different pods of dolphins before stopping to snorkel. Lunch on a beach before stopping at a Marae, then a long ride up the river with an Amazon feel to it. Wonderful day and great guide.

Amazing shore Excursion. Best! - An amazing day with the owner, Jimmy. Born in Raiatea as his family moved from France. Great English to describe unique things about the island and culture. Our tour was over 7 hours from the cruise ship. Very easy to find the boat. After viewing spinner dolphins off to a secluded island for snorkeling and water time. Then off to lunch at a very nice boutique resort. More time for swimming and snorkeling, then to an archaeological site of a Marae. A Polynesian religious site. The boat is clean. And holds about 14 guests. Lots of fresh fruit and beverages. Highly recommend this tour! Bruce and Caryn

Enjoyable Even in the Rain - We had some very heavy rain during our trip but the boat captain, Fab, made the best of the situation. The boat was fairly comfortable and we enjoyed the snorkeling and a short trip of the river. There was a stop at an archaeological site but it was hard to learn very much about it from the signs. Lunch was at a small and very charming beachside restaurant. The food was very good.
