“We were so excited to go on this sunset sail. I was with my 80 year old parents. It is VERY hard to get them in the low dingy that picks you up. It is also hard to get them off. I didn't realize that the catamaran didn't have a bathroom or any covered space. I have been on a lot of catamaran's and there was no shade! We left before the sun actually set and only half of the boat could see any of it because of the sails. They should have turned the boat so everyone could see. They also didn't offer any water or drinks until we…”

Start with hotel or port pickup, then sail from Vaitape Pier during golden hour. Enjoy sparkling wine, snacks, island views, and often live ukulele music before visiting a private motu for guided stargazing. Guides such as Manu, Nono, Tonya, Cy, and Nicholson have led memorable outings, though weather can change the plan.
“Great trip! We had to take a hotel shuttle boat to the main island where we were picked up in a van and taken to the dock to catch our stargazing tour. Turned out to be a private tour as our party of 4 were the only stargazers that evening. We all enjoyed wine, prepared snacks, and live music as we watched the sunset and headed to a private island for an evening of stargazing. Our guide used a laser pointer and iPads to point out the constellations and told us stories about the early Polynesian travelers. Highly recommend if you like looking at stars.”
