Raiatea Tahaa 1/2 day Coral Garden Snorkeling / Cruise Friendly

3 hoursFree Cancellation

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!
