    hrs Estimate Duration

Explore the scenic beauty of Raiatea's sister island during this drift snorkeling and lagoon tour along the Taha'a coast.


Depart the pier aboard a covered motorized boat and navigate the lagoon and along the west coast of Taha'a, Raiatea's beautiful sister island. Put on your water shoes and follow your guide across an uninhabited islet, or motu, located just off the coast. After reaching the other side of the motu, you’ll start your drift snorkeling experience. Your guide will lead you while the current carries you through the shallow lagoon on the way back to the boat. There is no stopping along the way, but drift will be done 2 or 3 times if time allows. This particular area abounds with a spectacular variety of tropical fish and amazing coral. The unique richness of this coral garden will leave you with lasting memories of your visit. Enjoy refreshments before cruising back to the pier in Raiatea.
