Must Do in Moorea!
What an awesome way to experience the coral and fish while also supporting a valuable cause! We got drawn in by Instagram ads and we are glad we signed up! The guide was super knowledgeable and he was hilarious while also teaching us a few things about the coral and their mission. Such a unique experience and highly recommend! We also sponsored 2 coral and while we were there.

Respect due!
A beautiful vision shared by amazing team members. A great experience on our vacation - a unique learning opportunity for our planet's future as well as an interactive experience that is a thousand times better than any kind of aquarium tour! The team is very knowledgeable and patient with all manner of questions, very sweet as they encouraged all of the groups' curiosities. We left feeling a lot of awe and respect for what they are sharing with the world! Mahalo nui

Best experience ever...
Meeting such dedicated people, who master their subject and share it with us while welcoming us with such kindness, it is hard not to support their cause! Thank you to our guides Merry and Teanui for giving us one of the best days on Moorea. An immense joy to encounter the corals. You have a wonderful and important job, thank you to all the gardeners. I recommend this activity without hesitation and without moderation. A must-do or redo without hesitation.

Do it. Money is nothing compared to experience
Fantastic experience. Fantastic work they do to redeem the coral reefs, the sea and ultimately the earth. Captain Heimany and Merry as the director were fantastic. Helpful and good at explaining everything about the organization, the work and the impact all biodiversity has on our planet and ocean.

Coral Gardeners Team
We loved everything about our visit to Coral Gardeners, Fantine's presentation was very interesting, we could feel the team's spirit! Young and passionate! Our boat pilote Teanui shared his experience as a coral gardener on our way to the nurseries, we felt so lucky to be part of their journey. We saw so many fish, they even let us pet them and play hide and seek in the corals gardens, full of life and colours. Forgot to take pictures we we're enjoying the tour with our eyes and mind wide open! Thank you CG team!

Amazing tour with Coral Gardeners
We received the warmest welcome from Heimanu and Merry (our skippers), along with some refreshments. We were then given an introduction to the story behind Coral Gardeners and the important work they do. Afterwards, we went out on their boat to snorkel in the areas where they are actively restoring coral reefs — it was absolutely beautiful and very inspiring to see their work up close. Thank you so much for a fantastic experience! Maruru!

Congratulations to Titouan Bernicot and all his staff for their commitment to the environment. A big thank you and a big shoutout to Teanui for his fascinating explanations, kindness, and professionalism: a top-notch guide!

Amazing story and work to save the coral reefs
It started with a talk about what is happening to the coral reefs and then the work being done to replant and replenish them. Then on to a boat and out to the coral gardens themselves. We snorkelled in crystal blue waters and saw how the coral is growing on the ropes. Then the guide took us further over to see where the coral had been replanted, which was fantastic to see. The team were very friendly and helpful. Truly great experience for a great cause.

Absolute must for all ocean lovers!
Besides an amazing time in the turquoise waters of Mo'orea, the Coral Gardeners are a beacon of hope for anyone who loves the ocean. I loved learning about corals and seeing the nurseries and gardens of repopulated reef. Plus, it's great to see this local initiative with true community spirit and global perspective.
