Up the river Faaroa: a journey through lush nature Your adventure begins on the peaceful waters of the Faaroa River, the only navigable river in French Polynesia, the first treasure of the day to be discovered, accompanied by comments from your Guide. As you sail, you glide between shores lined with dense tropical vegetation, where the murmur of water and the song of birds make up a soft and soothing atmosphere. This river lift is a real timeless break, in the heart of the sacred island of Raiatea, offering unspoilt landscapes, a feeling of absolute calm and total immersion in Polynesian nature.

Pearl farm: second treasure of this excursion After the tranquility of the Faaroa River, make way for the discovery of an emblematic know-how of Raiatea: Polynesian pearl farming. You visit a local pearl farm and dive behind the scenes of Tahitian pearl culture. Your Guide explains the various stages of this meticulous work, from oysters to pearls, and reveals the secrets of these natural gems known for their unique reflections and deep nuances. A rewarding step that allows you to admire these pearl treasures up close while understanding the importance of this traditional craft in the history and economy of the island.
Raiatea
  • 1h
Boat trips between the different stages of the excursion are also privileged moments. Settle down comfortably and let yourself be carried away on the lagoon with a thousand shades of blue, while admiring the unspoilt reliefs and landscapes of Raiatea. As the boat sails, it is not uncommon to see a turtle sliding beneath the surface or, hopefully, dolphins coming to greet the boat. These moments of contemplation are fully part of the experience and add a touch of magic to this half day of discovery.
