Take a tour of the Vanilla Island and discover its treasures on a guided boat tour on the Taha'a lagoon, departing from Uturoa in Raiatea!

Taha'a is a must-see when visiting Raiatea, with its lagoon surrounded by motus of exceptional beauty, as well as its land, home not only to incredible vanilla plantations but also pearl farms and quality rum factories. So to make the most of your time and discover all this in just one day, why not take a guided boat tour on Taha'a lagoon from Uturoa?

For around 8 and a half hours, you will have the pleasure of touring Taha'a by boat, alongside a captain and guide who will introduce you to the culture of their island, as well as its aquatic fauna and flora during 3 guided snorkelling stops. You will enjoy enriching visits to 3 quality local businesses to learn more about Polynesian culture: the Vanilla Valley, La Orana Pearl Farm and Domaine Pari Pari (closed on Sundays). What's more, your lunch break on a private motu will be memorable, as the meal prepared by a Polynesian family using fresh produce is both tasty and convivial!

Comfortably seated aboard a motorised Polynesian pirogue, fitted with an awning and perfectly stable to ensure optimum comfort for pregnant women and people with back problems alike, you are sure to have an unforgettable experience on this guided boat tour around Taha'a lagoon, departing from Raiatea!
