The engine thumps to life and the lagoon brightens as you cut across the west coast of Tahiti, Moorea rising like a pale shadow on the horizon. Spray dots your vest and the lagoon dares you to go faster; reef edges paint the water in sharp bands of turquoise and navy. Over five hours a private jet-ski route stitches together coastal viewpoints, a beachfront lunch, and a sunset cocktail stop — all paced to the sea and your group.

Use reef-safe sunscreen
