Marine Epopée: Dolphins and Horizons
Starting from 147€ / pers.
In the early morning, when nature awakens, board our va'a (traditional canoe) and learn to sail like us. You will paddle towards the pass, where the lagoon meets the ocean, accompanied by one of the naturalist guides from Océania, a local nonprofit dedicated to the protection of Polynesia's marine megafauna.
During this immersion, majestic landscapes pass by and the marine fauna reveals itself to you. With a little luck, you will see a school of dolphins* or even a humpback whale. *Cetaceans are animals that live in very large spaces. These are wild animals, so we cannot guarantee their presence on every outing. This is why the tour that we offer you will make you discover cetaceans, if nature allows us, as well as our marine biodiversity.
Duration: 3 hours
Group size: From 2 to 8 people
