This day is in response to a growing demand from cruise passengers who have asked us for a full tour of Taha'a Island without repeating the pearl and vanilla tours they may have had the opportunity to visit several times. This nature-oriented program favors panoramas and swimming in the most spectacular areas in several locations of the coral reef of the Taha'a lagoon with 3 coral gardens, swimming with blacktip sharks as well as in a basin or reef pool. A tasty local meal prepared by the property owner on his motu away from the crowds reconnects us with the richness of the surrounding nature. In fact, this atypical day stands out because we alone offer it.
