I organised the Maohi Nui booking for 24 persons with Maeva. She was excellent to deal with and responded quickly to emails. On the day (May 10) she arrived promptly at the ship's tender wharf in Bora Bora to collect the fares from each of us. No sooner was this done than 2 beautifully decorated outriggers manoevered toward the wharf.... More

This was an amazing experience and Ed was a great guide. We took the 3/4 day Lagoon Tour and it was just 4 of us - my brother, his girlfriend, myself and my husband. We swam with sting rays, sharks, ate a wonderful meal on a motu, then experienced the eels and the coral garden. I communicated with Maeva, via... More

My wife and I were in Bora Bora celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary. We discovered this tour on tripadvisor and we loved it! We did the all day 4x4 island/lagoon tour and we were not disappointed at all. Patrick met us as we got off of the shuttle boat fro our hotel and showed us all around the island. His... More

We spent a wonderful day with Patrick in Bora Bora on the 3/4 day Lagoon Tour as part of a group off of the Sea Princess that had met via Cruise Critic. Patrick was waiting for us as we got off the tenders and promptly loaded boats and we were on our way. Patrick is very well spoken, friendly, and... More

My wife Sonja and I were celebrating our aniversary with a month in French Polynesia and were fortunate enough to have been introduced to Parick Tairua's tour company by our bungalow owner. We took a delightful half day lagoon and snorkeling tour in a motorized outrigger vessel with shade cover. Our guide, Rapa, was very knowledgable and joined us in... More

We went out for a half day with the lunch on the family moto. Alex operated our outrigger boat and played his guitar and sang all the way. What a happy guy, he did not just tolerate us tourists, but actual interacted and helped us have fun. We visited the manta site and the rays were larger than on Moorea.... More

Our group (12 person) booked Patrick's Maohi Nui, but were not informed that he'll be out of the country on Dec2011. So it was another boatman who entertained us on the boat and guided us during the lagoon tour. As our boat came to a stop, schools of fishes came close to our boat and immediately followed by stingrays. Thrilled... More

The menu options are the Polynesian Traditional Oven (with roasted piglet and local vegetables) OR the BBQ with fish, chicken and lobster. Sometimes we mix menus when people request it. A shortage in lobster is possible, but rare, since we now buy the lobster from a local fisherman. But lobster fishing is forbidden on the territory from november to february,... More
