This experience is distinguished by authentic navigation, 100% sailing, far from classic motorized trips. Here, the wind sets the rhythm and every outing is unique. On board, everything is designed to offer a smooth and privileged moment: a well-maintained boat, few passengers, a friendly atmosphere, and an itinerary chosen for the beauty of the lagoon and its marine life. Observe rays, sharks, and turtles, drop anchor off a preserved motu for a swim and snorkeling break, then sail away... More than an excursion, a real immersion in the lagoon. The departure is offered in the morning or the afternoon and we can easily adapt the schedules to the ship's stops. The afternoon tours are particularly organized to allow for a comfortable return to the quay before the scheduled ship departures around 4:30 PM. This experience is for travelers seeking a sincere, elegant, and different moment.
