Escape the crowds aboard TUATAU V, a private 50-foot luxury catamaran reserved exclusively for your family or friends, with up to 12 guests. Choose a seven-hour day cruise or a sunset cruise, and plan the activities around your group.
Discover Cook’s Bay and ‘Ōpūnohu Bay, stop at a lagoon sandbar when conditions allow, snorkel among tropical fish, or enjoy the water on one of our two paddleboards. Rays, reef sharks, dolphins, sea turtles, and, in season, humpback whales may be encountered along the way.
Our experienced bilingual captain and hostess share their knowledge of Moorea and Polynesian culture. Your cruise is private and personalized, with time to swim, take in the scenery, or simply relax aboard.
Enjoy your private cruise from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., with time to explore Moorea before relaxing aboard in the late afternoon light.
The route and time at each stop are tailored to your group and the day’s weather and sea conditions.
After leaving Vai’are’s Marina and passing through the reef, the lagoon’s turquoise shallows give way to deep cobalt water. Cruise past palm-fringed Temae Beach on the way toward the bays. Spinner dolphins sometimes travel nearby, and humpback whales may be seen offshore during their migration season.
Depending on your wishes, timing, and conditions, stop in clear, shallow lagoon water to snorkel, swim, or paddleboard. Rays, reef sharks, and colorful fish may be seen here; sightings are never guaranteed.
Glide beneath steep green mountains through the bay’s calm blue waters. Look toward the shoreline and its historic marae, and take in the dramatic landscape from the catamaran.
Cruise through or pass by Cook’s Bay, framed by Moorea’s mountains and deep blue water. The time available here depends on the day’s earlier activities and your return schedule.
Welcome punch, fresh fruits, light snacks, still and sparkling water, soft drinks, coffee, tea, snorkel gear, two paddleboards, beach towels, Wi-Fi, and a Bluetooth sound system.
Catering can be arranged in advance, or you may bring your own food and drinks. The catamaran also has two restrooms, a fresh water shower, and a swim ladder.
Wildlife sightings are possible, never guaranteed. The captain may adjust the route or activities for weather, sea conditions, and wildlife protection rules.
