Merci à vous pour vôtre commentaire, En effet c'est la basse saison, c'est la période durant laquelle vous avez le plus de chance d'avoir le bateau que pour vous à condition qu'il y est un minimum de participants ;) Pour les enfants en bas âge c'est possible de faire l'excursion comme nous vous l'avons expliqué faut savoir que l'excursion dure au moins 3h30 et que vôtre enfant puisse tenir tout ce temps surtout s'il y a d'autres participants ou il y a une solution réserver l'excursion en privé. J'espère que vôtre séjour sur Moorea s'est bien passé. Hier j'avais à bord un couple qui vous connaît, comme quoi le monde est petit ! Bonne continuation et qui sait peut-être à l'année prochaine à la saison des baleines. SImon

Merci pour ton commentaire, Nous sommes passés à travers les gouttes et avons pu profiter pleinement du beau lagon de Bora et faire quelques dérivantes dans mon beau jardin de corail. Merci à vous pour vôtre confiance et qui sait à une prochaine fois Simon

Merci beaucoup, les raies manta étaient bien au rendez-vous et surtout elles étaient nombreuses ! Il y a de nombreux spots tous différents les uns des autres ce qui nous permet de choisir les meilleurs selon les conditions dans le lagon et la météo. Simon

Thank you for your comment. We are always sorry when we don't find whales be aware that it's Nature and we don't order them but we always do our best to find them and very often the excursion lasts much longer than expected is announced (even when we see them); yes to observe them you have to look for them and depending on the day, the excursions or the seasons it takes more or less time but the base has to be looked for. You mention that this is the 3rd or 4th excursion that you have done this type of excursion without seeing them and the only one with our company, which means that you must have fallen into a period when whales were becoming rarer and that even changing islands; after that it may also depend on the period in which you made these excursions, if it is at the end of the whale season and depending on the year they are more or less present; For my part, I always announce to my customers when the season is coming to an end, but I only know that at the present time. For information, the last whales observed on Bora were at the beginning of December, but I had stopped offering the excursion on November 1 because they were becoming too rare. It is always possible to observe other species during the excursion (dolphins, tuna, swordfish, turtles, whale shark, pilot whales, offshore sharks..), flying fish are part of it because they are omnipresent unfortunately this is not is not the purpose of the excursion because 100% seen are sure to observe but as I always say no one would pay to go on this type of excursion. I hope you will have more luck if one day you want to try the experience again because 3 or 4 excursions without seeing any is really that luck was not with you but believe me I often meet customers who say the same thing so do not despair even if I understand your disappointment very well but tell yourself that the time you have the chance to observe them or even swim with them it will remain etched in your memories forever so I hope strongly that you will have this chance whether in Polynesia or in a country.

Thank you Philippe for your comment, We spent a very nice afternoon in your company, we started by observing 3 to 4 manta rays in water that was not clear but they were in the gully where the depth is not important. Then we went to the coral garden, to finish outside the lagoon where the water was crystal clear. And yes the new boat is black and orange just like the old one but this one is much bigger (9 meters against 6m30), I'm glad you like the orange color being that of your country (Holland) even if now you live in Waterloo, Belgium. It was a pleasure to have you and your family on board as not all people living in the same place are alike (referring to a comment from September 1, 2022;) using Tripadvisor yourself for your restaurant we have the same point of view but it's part of the game as the other would say ;) I hope your return was not too hard and I wish you and your family the best for 2023 ! Simon

Merci pour ton commentaire Olivier, Nous devons prendre conscience que nous devons protéger et respecter cette belle Nature qui nous entoure en plus d'être nôtre "Bureau" afin de pouvoir la partager avec tous nos clients et de la garder le plus intacte possible ; surtout le lagon de Bora Bora a beaucoup à offrir contrairement à ce que disent certains ! ;) Bonne continuation à vous Simon

Thank you Heather for your comment, I try to stand out from other companies as much as possible by giving information on marine life but not only, I try to make my customers aware of the protection of the environment, many of whom are well aware of it but do not necessarily know how. this marine life works and it's always good to know it a little more to protect it while being able to observe it in its natural environment. I try my best to make small groups, it's more intimate but also we can more easily share our experiences with everyone; beginners as well as experienced. It takes a minimum of 4 people to do the excursion so if you are 4 we leave for a 1/2 day. I hope you had a good Christmas on Bora and wish you the best for 2023 with many beautiful trips but above all good health. Simon

Merci à la petite Famille de Tahaa, j'espère à mon tour venir vous voir et que vous me fassiez découvrir vôtre île, surtout qu'une amie habite là bas aussi ce sera d' une pierre deux coups ; en attendant je vous souhaite de passer de merveilleuses fêtes de fin d'année ! Simon

Thank you James for your comment and above all your honesty. Unfortunately this season ended a little early there were still a few whales but really offshore; there are always a few, two whales last week and one yesterday but unfortunately not enough to offer this excursion. In addition next season we will have dates, that is to say we will be able to offer this excursion from August 1st to November 1st. We always do our best my team and myself to find them but as you understood it does not depend on us and I am grateful to you for specifying it. It happens very often to see dolphins and when we can we stop at one of the outdoor sites which allowed you to observe these black tip sharks. Thank you again for your trust and I hope that next time you will have the chance to observe them and swim with them ! Simon

Thank you Kathryn and Jason for your comment. I always try to go to sites where there are as few people as possible because in small groups I prefer to go where there are as few people as possible even if it's not traffic jams either. We were able to observe manta rays in a shallow depth, then the superb coral garden where I am the only one to go to finish with leopard rays. Thank you and I hope that your stay on Bora went very well and that you will have the opportunity to come back. Simon
