About This Tour
Go on a “Vanilla” excursion to discover Taha’a Island, on board Blue Lagoon, a modern and comfortable canoe, for a day combining marine adventure and cultural discoveries. Visit a family pearl farm, a traditional vanilla grove and, on request, the Pari Pari rum factory, to discover the iconic know-how of Vanilla Island. Then enjoy exceptional snorkeling at the Coral Garden, one of the most beautiful sites in Taha’a, with stunning views of Bora Bora. Lunch is served on a private motu, followed by free time for swimming, snorkelling or just relaxing. The day often ends with a second session of snorkeling, sometimes with blacktip sharks in shallow water (depending on the conditions). On board, relax on the large trampoline above the lagoon and in the lounge areas, designed for comfort and conviviality.
