Superb excursion - We had a great day with Marius and kana. The reef island is worth a visit for its originality and the clarity of the water. Marius' explanations were very explicit. Thanks to Kana for her cooking. He brought us a coconut crab to show us. We snorkeled with sharks and also in the aquarium. Finally, we went to see the dolphins. Thank you very much, great memory

Reef tour May 2025 - Guide and crew were very friendly and helpful. Great family operated business. They had rain jackets to keep from getting splashed during the crossing. Marius spoke good English and took great care of us. Very informative tour.

The perfect day - Superb day with Marius at the helm , assisted by hanalei who is also an outstanding cook. The crossing is safe, the boats are new and the crews super competent. We start with a swim and snorkel in the channel in front of the motu , then we visit the site with Marius while hanalei prepares the meal. Marius is here in his garden and he will explain to you the origin of this geological formation so particular. Swimming in the natural pools then back for the meal: excellent and panagruelic and excellent. Raw Tahitian fish, grilled, chicken , rice and especially coconut bread! Small nap then we go back for a snorkeling session in the aquarium of the tiputa pass ( ultra fishy) And we end up watching dolphins in the past , this time it was a festival! Thank you to the whole team for an unforgettable day

Marius and his team guarantee you an unforgettable experience in the best of settings - You can have the highest expectations in the world, this team will still have a blast! OK, photos and videos, but you've seen them before, it's nice to live them of course, but the little extra that guarantees an experience you can never forget is the touch of the team that accompanies you. Caring, passionate, smiling, with you and the children, with others, with shit, ... just at the top what!! thank you again for this moment, you almost put the beauty of the place in the background!
