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 pearl and vanilla tours. This 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. This full day, with a tasty local meal on a motu, offers a unique experience with the scent of adventure, compared to a brief round trip to a swimming spot in half a day. In fact, this day stands out because we alone propose it.

What are people saying about Raiatea

Authentic Polynesian Experience

Andrea_C, Mar 2026

Must Do

This trip is absolutely the best!!! Great value for your money. Even in the rain, you’ll have a terrific time and I’m the person in the world who goes out in the rain. The guy fell out of their way to make you feel safe, comfortable, and happy. Where else can you eat lunch on a picnic table in the lagoon sharks and the tropical fish? Don’t pass this one up.

Highly recommend this tour.

What a great way to see some of the highlights of this beautiful island. I appreciated that the tour operator stayed in touch with us as we were a bit delayed getting off our ship but he provided assurances we wouldn't miss our tour. The boat ride is fun (much better than a tour bus) and the three stops along the way (vanilla plantation, pearl farm, and rum distillery) provided us new and interesting information about each. A swim stop was next in shallow warm water (snorkelling for those who wished) and then onto the highlight (for me) of the trip ... an authentic polynesian lunch on a private motu (island). Local musicians played for us, local dancers danced for us, and we had plenty of free time to sit on the beach, lounge in beach chairs or walk along the shore. The owner of the tour company was very attentive and wanted to ensure we were kept happy along the way. We certainly were!

Great way to experience Taha’a!

Fab was an amazing captain and tour guide and made sure we were comfortable and had a great time. Even a sudden downpour didn’t stop the fun. We loved snorkeling at the coral garden, at the lunch spot, and with the sharks. The pearl farm and vanilla plantation were both interesting and fun to experience. We really liked having a smaller tour group, especially after seeing other boats that were packed with people. Highly recommend!!

Beautiful scenery with great storytelling

Hubert met us promptly at the pier and reviewed the itinerary with us. The truck could seat eight but we had extra space since there were only 5 of us. The benches were well padded and comfortable. We were very happy that the weather cooperated and provided plenty of sunshine. All the views were breathtaking and Hubert’s descriptions and storytelling enhanced the experience. We stopped at his house to tour his tropical garden and sample its fruits and honey. Overall, a great experience.

Absolutely wonderful snorkel. Corals were beautiful and fish were abundant and curious. The ride to our snorkel spot was postcard gorgeous. Roy was very informative and eager to be helpful and answered any questions we had. I highly recommend this trip. Thank you Roy!

Snorkeling Adventure

Get ready for a fun adventure with amazing guides on this excursion. Our small group was taken on a wonderful ride to visit a pearl farm. We thought this would just be a sales pitch, and hoped it would be quick. We were pleasantly surprised to get a great lesson in pearl harvesting with amazing demonstrations. There was jewelry for sale, but the emphasis was on teaching us about the passionate work being done with the oysters. After this we were taken to our snorkeling spot. We walked through the water to the shore and then along the shore to get to a starting spot. DO NOT DO THIS WITHOUT WATER SHOES! I won't lie - drift snorkeling is a challenge for me as the current was fairly strong, and I didn't feel like we had total control - leading to some minor collisions with other members in our group. After the drift snorkeling we had free time to snorkel on our own in the area. During the drift and free snorkeling, we saw many different amazing fish, clams, and coral. The return trip to the starting point was taken at a much faster speed which jostled all of our internal organs! That could have been a little slower for comfort, but all in all we had a great day. Again, the guides were so helpful and caring, never leaving anyone behind. I can't stress enough the importance of having WATER SHOES for this excursion.

Beyond Fabulous

The boat for the tour is extremely close to the ship and Julian (?) was holding a sign with our name, so it was easy to find. Sometimes it can be confusing as to where to pick up the tour, but not this one. He was attentive and thoughtful the whole beautiful trip around Raiatea. The pearl farm was very intimate and interesting. The mango and grapefruit he served was the sweetest, juiciest we have ever had. Do not hesitate to book this tour!

Raiatea-Beautiful Black Pearl of Tahiti and the Vanilla of Tahaa

Delyth_S, Sep 2025

Wonderful trip. Book it, you won’t regret it

A fantastic morning spent learning about some of the products produced locally. There was only my husband and I on our tour, so it felt really special and personalised. This was the only half day tour to Taha’a that we could find, and so glad we found it as we’d already done most of the other things that full day trips offered by other companies included Very lucky to also see an eagle ray, humpback whale and a pod of spinner dolphins on our way back to Raiatea. What a bonus. Just wish I’d used my mosquito spray as got eaten alive at the vanilla farm
