Since French Polynesia is an ideal place for yachting, why not charter a yacht for a day, or for a full stay, to make the most of your vacation and discover the region from another angle?

Tahaa

You love yachting and want to enjoy a holiday on board a yacht ? Come to Tahaa Island! This archipelago, 4km from Raiatera, is only accessible by this means of transport. This small paradise composed of 8 villages will seduce you for sure by its calm and beauty. Its lagoon, very deep, allows boats to dock easily and go around the island without any problem. Tahaa is also called the vanilla island because it provides nearly three quarters of the Polynesian vanilla production and even offers an unmissable visit of a vanilla plantation. Take advantage of it, you can even bring back some vanilla produced there, and it’s a real treat for the taste buds! Enjoy the idyllic setting and rest under the burning Polynesian sun. You can’t miss the white sandy beaches that call you to idleness. Its UNESCO listed heritage will delight nature lovers and hiking enthusiasts. But water activities are still the most essential as the marine fauna is so rich.

Show and emotions guaranteed, you will never forget these wonderful moments.

Tahiti

Tahiti is also one of the places to see in French Polynesia. Its little farés on stilts that offer you from the morning a breathtaking view of the sea and give you the feeling of being in paradise.
