• Jardin de Corail - Explore Tahaa’s renowned Coral Garden, a breathtaking drift snorkel site in French Polynesia, nestled within a pristine lagoon. Departing from Raiatea provides a chance to admire the lagoon’s beauty during a peaceful boat journey to Tahaa, known as the “Vanilla Island,” with stunning views of Bora Bora in the distance. After approximately 30 minutes, the journey reaches the Coral Garden on the motu of Tautau. Before entering the water, snorkeling gear, water shoes, and a brief orientation by Tearii, the captain and certified snorkeling guide, are provided. The gentle current ensures this snorkeling adventure is accessible and enjoyable for everyone. As the current guides you, swim in a natural aquarium, gliding over vibrant coral formations and observing abundant marine life and schools of colorful fish. It’s a truly unforgettable experience! After snorkeling, unwind on the beach or aboard with fresh tropical fruits and cold drinks.
• Tahaa - On the return to Raiatea, there is a stop at another stunning location, amidst shallow turquoise waters, where you can safely swim with black-tip reef sharks in their natural environment. Swimming with them is both exhilarating and calming, offering a final chance to connect with the lagoon’s wildlife.
