Best excursion on Rangiroa! - Very nice experience, I highly recommend! Me and Mr are very happy to be tempted ☺️ The natural pools were beautiful (with views of the lagoon, wow!!). I was afraid that the navigation would be slow but ON THE CONTRARY I did not want to leave the boat... I am already planning to go back to visit the blue lagoon!

Best experience on Rangiroa 🥰 - It was really great, better experience on the Tuamotu, a little pinch in the heart when we returned to Tahiti... Team at the top meeting with Marius and Laeticia and all the staff present. I LOVE the island at the reef!!! 🪸🐠🐠 they even explain the creation of the reef 😍 not to mention the feast with, if I remember correctly, a locally made barbecue ( we love ) and raw fish always as good and fresh. Experience to be repeated a thousand times. Thanks again for all these new discoveries.

Beautiful explanations, we had plenty of eyes and heart!! 😍😍 The highlight of the show the dolphins!!! 😻😻😻 Thank you Laetitia for your professionalism: green lagoon outing originally planned, replaced by reef island for the same price 😊 without any regrets!

WHAT BEAUTY!!!... - On June 6, 24, we are 3 couples to board with Hector, Hono and Momo for the excursion to Reef Island and then to the Blue Lagoon. The 3 hours of round trip sailing (by calm sea, fortunately!) are quickly forgotten because this trip is splendid. What beauty nature offers us, unimaginable and difficult to tell, we must see!! AND...THE GREATEST PART of this excursion is the cheerful atmosphere brought by Captain Hector and his two fellow sailors Hono and Momo. Adorable all 3 , exceptional and inexhaustible guides, but also musicians and singers!!... unforgettable. The meal at the Blue Lagoon was excellent. A great MAURU ROA to you 3!!!! And a big thank you to Hono who was full of delicacy towards "MAMA" (my wife Anne).

Beware ! - Booked the reef island tour but got put on the combined tour instead ! The pickup time changed twice. The guide lady was constantly yelling (her tone of voice) and did not cater to English speakers well. After paying almost $120 Euro they dragged us through some "cafe" where they wanted more money for instant coffee. The tour finished one hour late so the day was gone by the time we got back at 6pm.

Missed the pickup. - Rangiroa Excursions did not wait for us to arrive from the ship. Conflicting stories. They said they'd wait until 9:20. We were on the 1st tender (with the Cruise Director and others) and arrived at 9:24, they claim they waited until 9:32. Weird. Cruise Director tried calling them, but no luck. We were at the ships mercy onb arriving 4 minutes late. I'm sure it would have been awesome. They did issue us a full refund.
