The tour landed at a Motu and started with various demonstrations; splitting coconuts, cooking class, herbal medicine, how to tie surong 15 different ways (I admit I zoned out for this part but we had a lot of women that probably enjoyed it). The guys played music. It was a nice fun day.”

“Such a cool excursion!! The captain and tour guide were very friendly and informative. They provide you with everything you need for the trip! We stopped at a few locations to see different things and we were even fortunate enough to see a crazy amount of dolphins right next to the boat and even get in to swim with them a little bit. They do have a professional camera taking pictures and videos for you to purchase at the end. We did use our go pro but it was a little hard to use sometimes with the scooter in our hands. Overall great experience and easy to do!”
