CAPTAIN TAINA

Il est temps de retranscrire ici cette journée à jamais gravée dans ma tête et surtout mon cœur. Une excursion exquise menée d’une main de mettre par Captain Taina qui nous a fait l’honneur de nous faire découvrir son lagon somptueux aux couleurs uniques. Ayant parcouru plusieurs destinations paradisiaques au cours de ma vie, de loin le plus beau snorkling de ma vie.. rencontre hors du temps avec tortues, requins à pointe noire, banc de raies léopard et douces caresses avec des raies pastenagues qui dès notre arrivée se sont empressés de saluer leur Captain.. sans oublier toute la préparation millimétrée d’une demande en mariage qui a largement dépassée mes attentes.. un jour inoubliable.. merci Captain pour tout du fond du cœur.. une adresse incontournable ici sur ce paradis bleu..

Par où commencer : un spot magnifique chargé d’histoire, un accueil des plus chaleureux, le meilleur Maha de l’île ? Non, un tour VIP aux côtés du Captain, qui connaît son lagon mieux que personne ! Faune et flore marine somptueuse, prendre le temps de s’émerveiller devant le mana de notre belle nature et cherry on the cake, une demande en mariage fleurie de mille couleurs. Sans doute une des plus belles journées de nos vies ! Maruru Captain Taina !!

Wonderful snorkel tour! We were lucky to have sun for most of the day. Did a lot of research since there are so many options and settled on two tours, this was second one.

We had a glass bottom boat which was fine. Never did it before so wanted to try, but don’t think it adds anything overall to the experience. We didn’t pay much attention to it after the first ten minutes. If anything, the glass bottom area got in the way of moving around the boat more freely. But this is minor. I would still take the glass bottom over no tour with Captain Taina. The glass bottom also had a max of 12 people while the standard seemed to hold more people.

The first snorkel spot was right in front of Captain Taina’s pick up. They throw a rope into the water from the back of the boat and have people hold on each side to help not get pulled too quickly by the currents. This definitely had its perks and was different from another snorkel tour we did where we drifted with the current (more movement freedom but very quick). The boat would pull us over and keep us in the spots where there were turtles or rays. It was nice! We saw 12 eagle rays swimming together and got to drift over them for a few minutes which was very majestic.

Second spot was the main spot with stingrays and black tipped reef sharks. The stingrays are very used to humans and come right up and on you. The currents are very strong here so they have a rope you can hold onto as well. This tour times it so you aren’t there with a bunch of other boats, it was just their two boats, which is nice.

Third spot was to see the underwater tikis which was in fairly shallow water. Mostly cool but a little underwhelming. I expected more or bigger tikis maybe? But the water was very clear and pretty.

Last was the private motu for lunch, which was a great highlight. The island is very cool and water can come from one side of the island to the other over your feet as you eat! There is also good snorkeling right next to the motu and has a nice set up for lunch. They demonstrated how to make possian cru and served it to everyone in a coconut shell. Might be the best I’ve tried too! Also had open bar of rhum and/or juice and beer! For lunch, we had chicken skewer and fish skewer (the fish was so good!) and bread and rice. Then dessert of banana covered in coconut flakes, mango, and papaya! They gave us coconut brush sponge to wash our dishes in the ocean, which was fun.

Then we had an hour to just enjoy the island, swim, snorkel, sit in the water out front looking at Moorea, sit in the tide-pools out back, etc. It was an incredible day. Definitely recommended!

We brought fins but didn’t use it on this tour. With the ropes, it wasn’t needed. You could use it snorkeling on the private motu though since the current is also strong there.
