One of my favorite days - Nikki is amazing. We took this tour to especially swim with the turtles which she made sure we did!! We attended with my mom and dad and kids (11 and 14). My mom is not very mobile and they went out of their way to accommodate her, especially getting on and off the boat.
I wish we could have done even longer than 4 hours. She was insightful, helpful, and a lot of fun. Also, I contacted many companies to book before we left on our trip, Nikki was quick to respond and helpful.

Exceptional! - I’ve traveled the world, and I can honestly say this was the best boat excursion I’ve ever experienced! My sister and I were lucky enough to have a private boat ride with Nicky, who is incredibly experienced and knowledgeable. She took us to the most stunning snorkeling spots, where we swam with rays, sharks, colorful fish, vibrant corals, and even explored an underwater art installation created in honor of the indigenous people of Polynesia.
Nicky, a marine biologist, shared fascinating insights about the lives of fish and whales, enriching the entire experience. We were also fortunate to see spinner dolphins and turtles during the trip. The views of the island from the boat were absolutely breathtaking.
The boat itself was very comfortable, and Nicky thoughtfully prepared homemade refreshments, snacks, and fresh fruit for us. I’m already hoping to return one summer to swim with whales under Nicky’s guidance. This experience is truly one-of-a-kind—highly recommended!

Amazing - we want to go back - personal attention - an adventure. We felt super safe in her hands. The captain was 100% - Nicky was the best guide - extremely knowledgeable (she has a Uni degree and teaches at the university). We had a fab time - we did a private four hour snorkeling tour. We went to three places - swam with black tip sharks, sea turtles
- sing rays. We would definitely go back and do even more with her. Communication pre booking was excellent. We didn’t hike but her husband handles that aspect.

Unforgettable experience in Moorea with Mana Moorea Tours - For my first time in Moorea, I had the opportunity to take this excursion with my companion. I was pleasantly surprised by the welcome and kindness of Neykel and Fabien. Their sympathy and good humor allowed us to have an unforgettable time. We feel like family with them and that changes everything.
We were able to see incredible landscapes that will remain engraved in our memories.
Thanks again to Fabien and Neykel for this experience.

A swim with the breathtaking whales - The romantic tour for 2 people with Nicky and Fabien was spectacular! We swam with a whale at 5m 🐋!
We decided to do the first part of the tour in search of whale and the second quieter in the lagoon
After spotting an animal we launched and swam behind Fabien for 200m... until we found ourselves nose-to-nose with a fairly playful 8m whale! Then followed several minutes of pure delirium where the whale danced around us, a mixture of admiration of the animal s grandeur and adrenaline!
After this strong emotion, we went back into the lagoon and swam with rays, turtles and sharks
The team coached us very well and made us feel safe throughout
