Extra Tahaa Island Boat and Full Day Tour
Description
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.

Postcard scenery, the visits are very well chosen! Ragi was great! He shares his good mood with us!! Thank you
Superb adventure with some misses.
The classic tour but everything is spotless. The captain guide, the stops, the magnificent motu for lunch, and what was served to us.
Snorkeling like I have never experienced. Shark stop there were 10-15 calmly swimming around us, first snorkeling spot huge corals and plentiful fish and the .oat friendly day ever. Vanilla farm was really interesting and prices were good. Lunch on the motu was excellent. Best pineapple ever. Pearl farm was interesting but prices were high. Beautiful real stuff so if you have the budget excellent. Last snorkeling was a standout amazing experience. Walked up to the head of the coral garden where the current runs through and we jumped in a drifted down the most amazing coral garden. Stopped and fed fish bananas and they went wild. The guide was excellent and always in the water with us. The captain though was something special he has the best energy and enthusiasm. Definitely appreciated both of them. Would do this again in a heartbeat
Personalized welcome, good knowledge of the area, good organization, and pleasant interactions with the guides.
I recommend this tour. This was a fantastic tour with a lot of different activities. The guides stayed with us during snorkeling which was nice. They provided a lot of informative commentary and kept the group in safe areas. During the “floats” through the coral garden, one guide lead to show the way while one followed the group to make sure everyone was good.
Excellent full day trip! Efficient pick up and organisation. Snorkeling was exceptional and informative trips to the pearl and vanilla farm. Great crew to run the day. Would definitely recommend
