About this experience
Welcome aboard Taboo ! Taboo is a cozy sailing catamaran and the perfect way to discover the wonders of Moorea. Get ready to share with us a memorable experience in the lagoon :) We start from our boat mooring, pass by Opunohu Bay and sail along the North coast of Moorea to the Tiahura's motus to enjoy amazing landscapes, clear water, lush mountains, paradisiac islets... We'll do several snorkeling stops in pristine water for magical wildlife encounters and to visit Tikis (traditional statues). You'll swim with black tip sharks, stingrays and colorful tropical fishes in a coral garden. We often see sea turtles and dolphins on our way ! A tasty and delicious plate of fresh local fruits and cocktails will be ready for you. Taboo is a comfortable catamaran with mattress, overwater net and a shadded area. Taboo offers intimate sailing cruises (maximum 8 guests) with an early morning or afternoon departure to avoid crowds. It guarantees to offer you the experience of a lifetime !

Why this scores 88
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Half Day Tour : Moorea Snorkeling & Sailing on a Catamaran named Taboo: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Papeete.
How much does Half Day Tour : Moorea Snorkeling & Sailing on a Catamaran named Taboo cost?
+
Prices start at $153 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Papeete usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Half Day Tour : Moorea Snorkeling & Sailing on a Catamaran named Taboo take?
+
Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Papeete is not rushed.
Is Half Day Tour : Moorea Snorkeling & Sailing on a Catamaran named Taboo worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 88 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 571 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Papeete, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Half Day Tour : Moorea Snorkeling & Sailing on a Catamaran named Taboo?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Half Day Tour : Moorea Snorkeling & Sailing on a Catamaran named Taboo suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Half Day Tour : Moorea Snorkeling & Sailing on a Catamaran named Taboo?
+
Around 200 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Papeete can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Papeete and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Half Day Tour : Moorea Snorkeling & Sailing on a Catamaran named Taboo start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Papeete within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Papeete?
+
On Outty we rank every Papeete experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include 5 Hours Tahiti Island Tour - West and East Coast, Moorea 4WD Tour: Magic Mountain, Belvedere, Pineapple Road & More, Moorea 6-Hour Snorkeling and Lunch Shared Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Papeete?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Papeete?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
