The Tuamotu Islands, sublime coral rings scattered in the blue waters of the South Pacific, offer exceptional scenery and snorkeling.
During this week of pure escape, we’ll sail between three coconut-fringed atolls aboard a catamaran privatized for our group of 8. Each day, we’ll snorkel the crystal-clear waters of the atolls to discover the Polynesian reefs, a paradise for sharks, Napoleons, manta rays, and sea turtles.
Snorkeling in Fakarava South Pass
Trip Highlights
Enjoy a tailor-made trip designed for snorkeling fans! In the heart of the Fakarava World Biosphere Reserve, our itinerary includes the exploration of three of Polynesia’s most spectacular and unspoiled atolls. We’ll snorkel at over 12 different sites, including Fakarava’s legendary South Pass.
From snorkeling to life on board, from landings on wild islets to swimming in pristine lagoons, we’ve planned everything to offer you the experience of a total escape, in contact with the untouched nature of the atolls.
The Tuamotu Islands offer unparalleled underwater experiences. We’ll snorkel at a variety of sites, including coral drop-offs filled with reef fish, sandy lagoons visited by Napoleon and blacktip sharks, manta ray cleaning stations, as well as exploring passes by drift snorkeling.
For our small group, we have chartered the Aqua Tiki II, a comfortable 18-meter catamaran with only 4 cabins. All cabins, with a capacity of two people, offer private bathrooms and toilets.
