Summary: Our day exploring the beautiful island of Tahaa was absolutely unforgettable! From the moment we met our guide Terehau (Terry), we knew we were in for something special. His warmth, humor, and deep knowledge of the island made the entire experience both fun and meaningful. The highlight of our tour was snorkeling in the crystal-clear Coral Garden of Tahaa. The coral gardens were alive with colorful fish, and the water was calm and warm — like swimming in an aquarium. Our beachfront lunch on a motu, featuring Poisson Cru Tahitienne, tropical fruit, and many other local specialties was delicious and entertaining. It was the perfect way to relax, savor the island atmosphere, and chat with our fellow travelers. Terry shared how to climb a coconut tree. It was quite entertaining. I’d love to tell you more, but you’ll have to go and see for yourself. This tour was the perfect mix of culture, nature, and flavor — a true immersion into Tahaa’s charm and hospitality. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide or a more memorable day. Mauruuru roa, Terry! 🌺🐠🍹💎

Summary: This is absolute must do. The tour guides meet you all dressed in red and white Polynesia shirts and escort you to nice red and white company boats. Very professional! Our guide Tere (Tarzan) was amazing the entire day. He shows you his islands as a local who loves his island! There are several stops including great snorkeling but you don’t feel rushed. Tere assisted all of us whenever anyone needed help on and off the boat and even with beginner snookers or those who were not strong swimmers to make their experience great. Pointed out fish and other things while snorkeling. We ended with all the tour boats from the company meeting to have a wonderful truly Polynesian buffet lunch that was fantastic. All the guides put on a musical show after lunch before we headed back to port. If I could I would give Tere and his company 10 stars!!!
