Revanui's boat

Our excursion stands out for its large and spacious boat. A young, cheerful and dynamic team. Snorkelling in the coral garden remains a nugget, several shades of color and a lot of fish. But the big difference is lunch on our private motu. A tropical setting full of resources. On the program, the discovery of the island of Tahaa, immersed in the greenery and surrounded by "motu", islets settled on the sea fills with coconut trees. We will meet the island's suppliers and the creations they offer based on local products such as vanilla, pearl, honey, sugar cane, tamanu, alcohol... A cooler with refreshments (local fruit juices and water bottles) is available for guests. You can also bring your own drinks and snacks. You won't regret it!

Swimming with free-ranging blacktip sharks towards the reef.

Our excursion is distinguished by several aspects that are not immediately perceptible. Our visits to pearl and vanilla farms are carefully selected according to hospitality, language and product quality – so far nothing exceptional. But that's not all: The rum we serve on board is distilled in Taha'a by the “PARIPARI” estate, gold medalist at the Paris International Agricultural Show 2026. We provide towels on board. Our boats are managed by a crew of two on long-term contracts, unlike a crew of a pilot hired by the day. We offer swimming in two coral gardens and with sharks. We have lunch on a private motu with the property owner, an island that we have for ourselves, away from the crowds. We send free of charge by e-mail the link to the photo report of the day.
