Excursion Lagoon-to-land taha’a discovery tour at Raiatea
Cruise line: SilverseaDifficulty:
Board your boat and glide over the tranquil lagoon towards Raiatea’s sister island of Taha’a. Upon arrival, board a 4WD vehicle and head to the valleys and mountains of the island. Sample various local fruits and learn tamure - typical Tahitian dancing.
The island of Taha’a is often called ‘the Vanilla Island’ and you will learn about this fragrant spice while visiting a small family-owned vanilla plantation. Visit a black pearl farm and discover how these treasures of the sea are raised and harvested. These small cottage industries are part of this small island’s economic structure.
Finally, board a motorized outrigger canoe for an enjoyable ride across the turquoise waters of Taha’a en route to a motu (islet) for some snorkeling.
