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!

Tahaa
"Vanilla Prod's shop" has been a local company established on the island of Taha'a for several generations. Recently, Vanilla Prod’s shop decided to open its activity to the public to show enthusiasts how Tahaa vanilla is grown. On site, you can discover their plantations and products during a guided tour made by the owners of the premises. When the flower season is underway, it is possible to witness the "wedding" (polenization) of vanilla flowers. On site, you will have the opportunity to discover typical local products such as: honey, vanilla under vacuum, vanilla aroma or even, artisan monoi. These products are intended for sale so you can find your happiness there. This experience is very enriching for both enthusiasts and amateurs.

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!

Excellent trip! Deserves 5 stars. After 3 great visits we had a brilliant lunch on a private island with singing and dancing. Cannot fault it. Very comfortable boat, too.

Stops at vanilla farm and Pearl farm was informative. The water was pristine on the scuba but the best part for us was the private island and lunch. We could have stayed forever!

Tahaa is a wonderful unspoiled island. It’s very interesting and informative. The beauty of Tahaa and the people are on full display. Bora Bora stands in the distance. Lunch was incredible. So ono (delicious) the local food unlike a Hawaiian luau where they mix kalua pig and poi with mahimahi and teri chicken. No, Revanui served real local food and it was so good. Snorkeling through the warm waters of the Coral Gardens was a highlight. Vai, his boat captain Nui, Mana and the cooks, and the dancers were all friendly, smiling all the time, and making our day memorable. We will be back to Raiatea (4th trip) and bring our other 3 adult children with their spouses and keiki. And we will enjoy this tour again!

Great day spent with our guide, Vai. The tour was exactly as advertised….vanilla farm, gin tasting, pearl farm, snorkeling at coral gardens, and finally a great lunch on a motu!! I would highly recommend this tour for anyone visiting Raitea/Tahaa.

A magical stopover in Tahaa, between fragrant vanilla, artisan rum and discovery of black pearls, enhanced by the kindness and professionalism of our guide. Snorkeling among multicolored fish and bright corals, always accompanied by passionate and accessible explanations. Gourmet break on a private motu, with a typical meal prepared with care, in a simple and authentic atmosphere. Even the encounter with a school of sharks on the return was done with confidence thanks to its impeccable supervision. An unforgettable day that we recommend with our eyes closed. Thank you Revanui Excursions – Raiatea.

This tour truly deserves to lead with the snorkeling, because it is without question the highlight of the entire experience—not an afterthought. The snorkeling at the Tahaa Coral Garden was exceptional. Located between two motu, this area offers some of the clearest water I’ve ever snorkeled in, with beautiful coral formations and abundant marine life, including schools of both small and large fish. This corner of Tahaa really is a slice of paradise, and it’s the reason I would recommend the tour. After snorkeling, we were taken to a private motu, which was a wonderful surprise. Having the island to ourselves, enjoying a relaxed and well-prepared lunch, and then easing back toward the ship made the day feel special and unhurried. On the return, we also had a quick stop to see reef sharks, which was an exciting bonus. The tour also included stops at a vanilla plantation, a rum distillery, and a pearl farm. These were enjoyable and interesting, but they were clearly secondary to the snorkeling and private island experience, which is what truly sets this tour apart. One important note for future guests: bring your own snorkel equipment. The provided gear did not seal properly, and no amount of adjusting kept water from entering the snorkel. Because the current through the coral garden is strong and you move quickly with the flow, having well-functioning equipment is essential. I am a very conscientious snorkeler and always take great care to avoid touching coral; however, while dealing with a constantly flooding snorkel and managing my position in moving water, I briefly lost control and scraped my leg after brushing against coral. With properly fitting personal gear, this would have been a far more relaxed and enjoyable experience. In summary, the snorkeling at Tahaa Coral Garden combined with a private motu lunch is the true highlight of this tour. With clearer emphasis on this in the tour description—and a reminder for guests to bring their own snorkel equipment—this experience could be outstanding from start to finish.
