Raiatea's waters, in practice

A single lagoon shared with vanilla-island Tahaa, with Bora-Bora watching on the horizon. Wind-wise: steady trades outside and flat lagoon water — the passes are crossed under engine and full attention.

Departures, day-trip classics and season

Departures: the Uturoa and Apooiti marinas, French Polynesia’s main charter base. The local classics: the inside-lagoon loop around Tahaa, the reef motu, and Bora-Bora or Huahine one passage away. High season: from May to October, the dry, breezy austral winter.
