Overview

Our excursion stands out for its comfortable, large and spacious boat. We pay special attention to each of our guests during the excursion. The tour is limited to 10 people on board to make the experience authentic, enjoyable and friendly.

On the programme, we plan several visits: the Bay of Fa'aroa with the ascent of a river, the discovery of a botanical garden filled with greenery, the visit of the marae of Taputapuatea a UNESCO World Heritage site and, a relaxing lunch on a motu (island on the sea) with free swimming.
However, it is important to know that in case of bad weather or heavy rain a few days before, the programme will be revisited, as the Fa'aroa River will not be accessible by boat.

Soft drinks (fruit juice and water) are provided throughout the tour.

You will need to provide: a cap, a waterproof camera and water shoes for swimming.

See you soon.
