What to expect
Tahaa
The experience begins at Apooiti Marina. After boarding, we drop moorings for 100% sailing, in the heart of the Raiatea lagoon towards Taha'a. We then head towards the Motu Ceran, crossing areas of light blue and turquoise water. From the boat, it is common to observe sharks, rays and turtles moving in the lagoon. We then anchor opposite Motu Mahaea for a relaxing break: swimming in crystal clear water, snorkeling with masks available, snacks and drinks on board, in a preserved natural setting. A ladder is provided to facilitate boarding of the boat. The return takes place quietly to the marina of Apooiti, always under sails, to the rhythm of the wind and according to the weather conditions.
The experience can be subject to change due to bad weather or unforseen circumstances. We always endeavour to give you the best possible experience.
