1/2 day excursion to discover the coral garden of Tahaa: the departure from Raiatea allows you to enjoy from the first moments of the beauty of the lagoon and its shades of blue. The discovery continues with snorkeling in the magnificent coral garden. A magical moment surrounded by multicolored fish and corals with equally incredible colors. We head out of the water for a moment to discover the panorama of Bora Bora before enjoying the spectacle of the lagoon again ... This activity is suitable for cruise passengers who have little time on site and still want to enjoy the jewels of Tahaa and Raiatea ... but of course we can also welcome other people who want to join this excursion! Another program is possible on request for groups of 10 people. Contact us at the time of booking.

GET water shoes! You walk over broken coral to get there. The operators “recommend” water shoes. All but two people had them. Those two were not real comfortable and wanted to tell the vendor to “Require” water shoes. Not the vendor’s problem! Water shoes are strongly recommended! Considering them required. You will be happier

Great experience. We were lucky enough to be only the two of us with the boat captain. He offered us the opportunity to go to another less busy Tahaa coral garden. Having done both, they are both beautiful, but the one visited yesterday was a little deeper so less risk of injury on corals. He told us where to look without following us in the water. It was great. We are regulars of snorkeling, no need for a guide at all times. He also stopped so that we could swim with mantha rays. Magic! I recommend this excursion. Finally, the location was clear, which was not the case with ARE tour and Shore Excursions, which we had to contact for information.

Fabulous snorkelling! The current wasn’t strong, so we had an easy float through the channel and plenty of time to see the fish and coral. Boat trip was about 35-40 minutes each way from Uturoa (Raiatea). Would recommend it!

When we signed up, we didn’t realize that it was a drift snorkel through the coral gardens. If you want a drift snorkel, this is fun and we did enjoy it - just didn’t know that was what we had signed up for. Had a great time and got to do the same drift twice! Make sure you bring good water shoes. We had our own mask & snorkels (we prefer to bring our own as they fit perfectly and pack easily) so can’t comment on the ones they provided. Watch out for the fire coral! They are yellow tipped corals and make sure you do not brush against them, as it will give your skin a burning sensation. Ask your guide to point it out. Of course, do your absolute best not to touch any of the coral as you drift by and take in the amazing views! It is an approximately three hour long tour, but be prepared to have a go a bit longer for planning the rest of your day. Meet the Operator at the activities desk # 12.

This is a great excursion. But need to know that it takes 45 minutes by boat to get to the coral gardens. Padded bench on the boat would be nice. Warning about the fire coral up front would have been helpful for my wife.
