Welcome aboard Taboo !
Taboo is a cozy sailing catamaran and the perfect way to discover the wonders of Moorea. Get ready to share with us a memorable experience in the lagoon :)
We start at 7.30am from Opunohu Bay and sail along the North coast of Moorea to the Tiahura's motus to enjoy amazing landscapes, clear water, lush mountains, paradisiac islets...

Small sailboat excursion
Brian S, 26-09-2022
We were very comfortable as 8 people on Taboo: six guests, plus the captain and crew. Taboo is a nice comfortable sailing catamaran, and the sailing is nearly as fun as the snorkeling. Communication from captain and crew were very good, both in English and in patient French for those learning the language.
Just book it!

Absolutely wonderful experience! Perfect excursions to see the island and explore the ocean. Small group which makes it feel intimate. The family that runs it is so kind and generous. Thank you for a lovely day : )
Amazing experience!!!

We had the loveliest time on this excursion, I wish I could go back and do it again! The tour guides were so friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. We went snorkelling and saw so many rays, sharks, fish, coral reefs, and underwater statues. They also served us a cocktail and fresh fruit. Overall it was an amazing experience and a great way to see the beauty of Moorea!!
A great day out

Fun time with great instruction. We had a small group of six. Lots of great information and competitively priced, saw sharks and rays while snorkelling. One of the group was not confident and the guide reassured her so that she had a great experience. Well timed
Highly recommend

Leo is a great captain— very informative and fun to talk with. My wife and I did the sunset cruise, and also booked the half day snorkel. Both experiences were great, and highly recommended!

Leo and Arthur were amazing from the moment we met them at the pier. They provided us with lots of information about the surrounding islands and moto’s. Lisa (sorry if I’ve spelt that wrong) was fantastic to communicate with leading up to the tour. The catamaran only has up to 8 guests so it feels like a private tour. We had the most beautiful day for it and they took us to snorkelling areas that were away from the crowds. They showed us the best spots to be to see the amazing water wildlife. We snorkelled with stingrays, sharks, thousands of fish and saw turtles and manta-rays. It’s was an experience we will not forget in a hurry. Fruit and mocktails/cocktails were included as well as all snorkelling gear. Highly recommend.
Great trip.

The boat ride was very enjoyable, as we cruised in such beautiful scenery, and a spectacular ocean.
The 2 young men did a great job helping us as we snorkeled in 3 different areas. We were extremely fortunate to have them as teachers and quids. Thanks so much.

Only six of us and our captain and guide. The snorkeling was amazing. We touched rays, saw sharks, and many colorful fish. Guide was very knowledgeable and the whole experience was great.
Rainy Day Excellence
Scott G, 24-01-2023
We woke up to dark clouds building on the horizon and became pretty pessimistic about the reality of doing a 4 hour tour on the water with kids (6 & 8 very prone to cold), so much so I actually cancelled the tour at one point. The downpours subsided and Liza reached out 1 last time to make sure we wanted to cancel, she assured us the water was warm and the the boat had a covered area. We were darn skeptical but withdrew our cancellation and decided to go for it.
As we boarded the Taboo, the rain began again. It was a downpour among the hardest I’ve seen in my life ever. The rain continued on our way out to our first location. The boat was indeed covered and the kid’s remained dry and warm in their swimsuits and raincoats. The rain subdued some as we entered the water at the first location. All parental nerves subsided as we swam with the rays and sharks. It was awesome. The rain came off and on throughout the day, it was fine, didn’t see a shiver once, I was shocked to be honest. Everyone had a great time, guides were wonderful.
We had a party of 4 adults and 2 kids, I would highly recommend the private tour as we had a very personalized experience. Even if it’s raining… GO!! I don’t think you’ll regret it.

Great Snorkeling!

Leo was a wonderful captain/guide. He knew lots about the area and took us to some wonderful snorkelling spots. He also makes a great mai tai! We were able to see some sharks, rays, and lots of tropical fish. Very happy we went on this excursion.
Great experience if you want to see a range of sealife in Mo'orea
Maren_M, 23-01-2023
Pick-up was well organized by Liza who was super friendly. We saw a ton of colorful fish and rays at the 3 stops we visited. The captain took his time explaining the all the different kinds of fish to us. The only minus point was that they were not too generous with the drinks. I also noticed the captain was on his phone a lot and seemed less interested. The second guy was really helpful though.
Probably...

...a good tour, we had to turn around due to weather conditions and didn't make it. We were lucky to make it to the docs. Maybe a good idea to check the weather in the morning yourselves as well and not to board if a dark wall is coming toward you....
