Wonderful day on a beautiful boat - We recommend +++ Raiatea Blue Lagoon The boat is beautiful, clean, comfortable well equipped for small grains of rain Owner Jimmy is very attentive to his passengers, serious and pleasant Providing with fresh fruit, fruit juices He introduced us to small craft enterprises in his image, simple and working in the tradition Lunch on a motu was just perfect (concocted by a young couple) Discovering the coral garden and swimming with sharks and the day was full with a lot of kindness and professionalism

A very nice day - A very nice day spent with this excursion. Whether it was the quality of the boat, the meal and the sympathy of the captain, we had a great time. Special mention for the coral garden, with tips to take at the beginning of the current and believe in a slide! Swimming with sharks were also very nice!

Go there with your eyes closed! - Jimmy will pamper you throughout this incredible day!! Its magnificent boat is equipped with a net for relaxing and sunbathing, the coral gardens are definitely worth the detour and lunch with your feet in the water, facing the ocean, will remain an unforgettable experience!

Exceptional experience! - An exceptional day! We had the best guides possible! Jimmy knows the islands perfectly and talks to us about their stories with passion! We visited various places (vanilla grove, pearl farm, coral garden...) and were able to swim with rays and sharks! Breathtaking images! Colors that you can't imagine if you haven't seen them!

Operator Canceled Night Before The Tour - We booked a tour for January 22nd nearly two months in advance. On January 20th, the operator messaged me asking if we were on a cruise ship, explaining that we were the only ones booked and suggesting we invite others. I didn’t see the message until the next day (January 21st) since we were traveling from Tahiti to Raiatea and not constantly checking my phone on vacation. When I replied that we had flown into Raiatea, they informed us they were canceling the tour due to a lack of participants—this was the night before our scheduled trip. I understand that tours need a minimum number of people to be profitable, but if they suspected they might cancel, they should have reached out earlier in the week. Travelers are required to cancel at least 24 hours in advance, and I believe the same rule should apply to tour operators. Since we were only in Raiatea for two days, this full-day excursion was our main plan. They didn’t even offer to help us find an alternative. Fortunately, we managed to book another tour last minute, but I found their handling of the situation unprofessional and inconsiderate.
