The experience
The catamaran Taboo leaves the lagoon and sails Cook's Bay first, then heads out beyond the reef into open ocean before turning back into Opunohu Bay as the light changes. The route takes roughly two and a half hours. You pick your spot: lounge on the cushioned mattresses, relax in the netting strung between the hulls, or sit under the awning if you want shade. The guide (speaking English or French, depending on your group) points out the landscapes and the legends tied to Moorea's mountains as they light up in the sunset.
Tropical juices, mai tai cocktails and water flow throughout the sail. There's no agenda beyond watching the day end over the water and the peaks. The boat is built for small groups: you're booking for 1 to 4 guests, 5 to 6 guests, or a "Celebrating Love" option if this is a honeymoon or anniversary. Pickup is included, so the logistics of getting to the boat are handled.
Is this one for you?Book the private charter to have the catamaran and captain entirely to yourselves during sunset, or choose the small group option if you're comfortable sharing the boat with one other party.

Cook's Bay is a deep, dramatic inlet ringed by steep cliffs and fed by a river. Opunohu Bay is wider and more open, with a gentler shoreline.

The catamaran sails inside the lagoon through both bays, then ventures out past the reef into open ocean before returning to Opunohu Bay as dusk settles.
