Explore Raiatea's abundant flora and fauna during this journey through the on a motorized outrigger canoe with a breach break at one of the many small islets.


Board your motorized outrigger canoe at the pier and glide over the waters of Raiatea's deep blue lagoon towards the mouth of the Faaroa River; Polynesia's only navigable river. Along the way, you will see wild hibiscus, or purau, bamboo groves, chestnut trees, ginger flowers, villages and more. Your guide will also share a bit of Polynesian history and folklore.


Leaving the river, you’ll stop at a motu (islet) where you can swim and relax while enjoying some refreshments.
