I want to take you there and share with you my invaluable experience.

This is a unique opportunity to learn about Polynesian culture and history,

to safely feel at first hand the real beauty of Coral Reef with its inhabitants.

Come to this private island

Having a Polynesian Feast

On the menu: suckling pig, chicken with local spinach, manioc, plantain bananas, bread fruit, raw fish salad with coconut milk, and finally a traditional dessert made with bananas and vanilla, as well as fresh tropical fruits.

It is possible to replace the Polynesian feast by a BBQ: fish, chicken, spiny lobster (subject to availability), Polynesian vegetables, raw fish salad with coconut milk, tropical fruits.

The lunch comes with a good bottle of Moët and Chandon champagne, or red/white wine depending on the guests' preference.

The lagoon tour includes three stops :

The first one is for snorkelling in a coral garden, where visitors can discover many different colourful fishes, corals, and many other inhabitants of a wonderful natural ecosystem! The guide accompanies the visitors in the water.

Snorkelling in this colourful coral reef

The second stop is the visit of the sting rays in shallow water. A unique experience! Our rays are very welcoming, giving to the visitors an outstanding sensorial experience! These rays are tamed since more than 20 years. The approach is gentle and respectful, keeping in mind preservation of nature.

Holding Sting Rays with your hands

The last stop is on the ocean side, for the observation of black tip reef sharks. Black tip reef sharks measure usually between 1m and 1m50 (3 to 5 feet) and are harmless to humans. YOU ARE NOT the food!!! Doesn't matter what color is your bathing suit, or what breakfast you had in the morning... They will not notice anything, and YOU will definitely enjoy this great experience! For great memories, the underwater camera is recommended.

The black tip reef sharks, shown here with their dorsal fins above water, were only a couple of feet away.

We shall be hiking on Tahiti, Bora Bora and Moorea Islands
