Taha’a half day boat tour

3 hours 30 minutesFree Cancellation

Price varies by group size

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.
