An exceptional adventure. A thousand thanks - More than just an excursion, an immersion in Polynesian culture. Thank you to the whole team especially Naomi and Claude with whom we spent a superb day and a special dedication to the cooks who made us discover the best coconut bread in all Polynesia. Take care of yourself. Recommended at 10,000%

Unforgettable - Exceptional. Unforgettable. Despite the world - only reproach (two boats) - the reef island was unforgettable. Manu’s long explanations of this phenomenon, the Tuamotu, the effects of global warming observed, were captivating. Constant and scrupulous attention to the care of all (swim slippers, sunscreen reminders or constant vigilance coconut - bravo). A great team, congratulations to Marius and all the crew.

The best experience in Rangiroa - We did two excursions with Rangiroa Excursion and both were unbeatable. The captains have exceptional handling of the ship, and our guides were 10. We visited with Marius the island of Los reefs, which we loved. There are far fewer visitors as there was only our 15 person boat there, and the feeling is of tranquility and being away from everything in such a special place. We drifted snorkel a couple of times and then Marius took us to see the edge of the reef and the different natural pools that are created. It is certainly a very different place to what you can see elsewhere in Polynesia and is very worth it. The water was crystal clear, and more than 20 sharks came to visit us with which we could swim. On the way back we stopped at the Aquarium, an amazing place with a lot of fish we had never seen, just snorkeling. The food on both tours was similar, delicious and very plentiful: rice and marinated chicken, poisson cru, coconut bread and barbecued fish. Especially, the fish we could taste on the island of the reefs was spectacular, freshly made, unraveled and very rich in taste. In addition, the organization is 10, they were super punctual, from the first minute the guides learned the names of everyone and it is a very personal treatment that made us very comfortable and feel in good hands at all times.

Exceptional experience - We did the « île aux récifs », and it was an amazing experience. Not only because of the stunning views, the blue lagoons and the natural pools you can jump into next to the recifs. The knowledge, passion and the great sense of humor of Marius, together with the culinary skills of Amo, make your journey exceptional and unique! Thank you team!!

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
