Superb!
It was fantastic! Fakarava is beautiful and secluded. No other boats anywhere on outer atolls. Humidity was low in June, temperature was pleasant, water was flat, just amazing!

Excellent trip
My wife and I took the Aqua tiki for our honeymoon. Diving: As above challenging exciting diving, x2 per day with steel tanks so duration was ~1 hour each. We saw so many sharks reefs, black tips, nurses and lemons, mantas, rays. A real "big stuff" location rather than macro. Most dives were drift dives. Confident dive team, one guide, one additional staff member diving and the skipper up top in the boat. Water temp 28C in May. Vis ~30m each day. Location: like a postcard, visited x4 atolls, this boat actually sails between atolls, not motoring everywhere Food: really good. French/Polynesian. Crew: exceptional, great English, really made an effort.

Relaxing diving in a shark heaven
Definitely one of the best places to see tons of sharks without feeding in blue water with visibility up to 50 m! The crew was professional and friendly, the food was excellent, we were all treated as one big family. Definitely recommended!

Great trip with technical dives
I’ve had a great time on this liveaboard. The dives, although quite technical, were fantastic but I also really enjoyed the extra activities we got to do between the dives. The crew were great. Tika, our hostess, was great with meals(even special last minute requests) and fun chats in between. Greg, the captain, done everything humanly possible to ensure we’ve had a good time. Nothing was too much. The highlight of the trip for me was Marie, our dive instructor. She is one of the very best (if not THE best) dive guides I’ve had a privilege to dive with, sharing her immense technical knowledge with us during dive briefings. I’ve left the trip with new diving skills and improved confidence.

The best way to explore the dive sites in French Polynesia
Perfect visibility, enjoyable drift dives, different sizes of tank to accommodate diver’s need, well managed one hour dive, optional nitrox available for decompression stop to ensure safety and comfort. Personally, cataraman is my favorite as it avoids the smell from gasoline. Many free time available for snorkeling around and there’re lots to see. Additional credit given to the beautiful Milky Way at night!

A journey that stays in the heart! One Family at Aqua Tiki!
From the very first step on board, it was clear that this trip would be special. Greg, Victor and Poe are the kind of crew you could wish for: warm, attentive, humorous and full of passion for what they do. From the first moment there was an open, relaxed atmosphere in which you simply feel comfortable.The dives were simply spectacular. Whether in the middle of huge Schools of Fish, surrounded by sharks, elegant manta rays and impressive Napoleons, every moment underwater was pure fascination. And Remoras regularly came by to say 😉 hello for a moment. Each dive was intense and different, full of energy and life.An unforgettable moment was in Fakarava South. After a dive, Greg spotted a group of dolphins at the pick-up. A short time later we sat in the dinghy and spent a lot of time with a large dolphin family. It was a special experience to experience these animals so closely, without any hurry, just in the moment.Kauehi was also a highlight. The lagoon, the light, the silence and the dive spots had a special atmosphere that is difficult to put into words. Together with Fakarava North and South, the result was a perfect combination of adventure, nature and proximity to the sea.Even though we couldn't head for Toau because of the weather, the route was just perfect and every minute was an adventure.Between dives, there was always time for what really makes a safari: eating together, laughing, talking and enjoying. Evenings with sunset and a cocktail on deck were just as much a part of it as the many small moments in between that you don't plan but that remain.This liveaboard was coherent in every way – personal, close and genuine. Greg, Victor and Poe have made a home out of a boat on the Pacific. A big thank you for that.One Family. One Ocean. One unforgettable experience. 🌺🌊🤿
