Treat yourself to a wonderful vacation by renting a boat at Apooiti Marina, in the north of the island of Raiatea. A real spot for pleasure boating, the splendid azure sea around Raiatea is truly desirable. Its cultural and natural heritage and splendid panoramas add a poetic touch to this Polynesian island.
Having fun around Raiatea
A favorite destination for sailing, sport fishing, surfing and diving enthusiasts, Raiatea knows how to capture the hearts of travelers. Let yourself be captivated by the bewitching charm of this pearl of French Polynesia as you criss-cross its magnificent coasts. Set off for a unique getaway to Taha'a, Moorea, Bora Bora and Tahiti from the Apooiti Marina.
The ultimate moment of meditation and contemplation of the cetaceans will undoubtedly be one of your most cherished holiday memories of Raiatea. Budding photographers will find countless subjects to immortalize. You can then have a few hours of fun trying your hand at windsurfing.
To round off this pleasant day at sea in style, berth your sailboat on a beach of a Motu. Relax by lowering yourself onto the long stretch of white sand while admiring the blue sky. Accompany this moment of reverie with an incredible family scuba diving trip.
Discover the island of Raiatea from the Apooiti Marina
Once you have had your fill of all these water activities, head for Apooiti Marina, located 5 km from the city. Before setting off to explore the island, take time to sample the local specialties in the Marina restaurant. Then you can go for walks, quad-biking, mountain biking, canoeing or pirogue trips in the heart of lush natural surroundings. To start, visit the mythical Taputapuatea marae, a place of pilgrimage and sacred culture in the south of the island.
Then continue your Polynesian cruise by heading up to the flowering mountain of Temehani. You will quickly be intoxicated by the heady scent of the Tiare Apetahi, a magnificent white flower that is only found on the island of Raiatea. Finish in style by traveling down the Faaroa River in a pirogue and taking a relaxing dip.
We have another sailboat charter base in the north of the island of Raiatea, the Apooiti Marina, very close to a magnificent hotel and restaurant.
You can easily reach the small island of Tahaa. It is an important center of island life.
The large lagoon offers the possibility of going almost completely around the island via its reefs: the only place in all of French Polynesia where this is possible. Located not far from Bora Bora, this has earned Raïatea and its twin sister Tahaa the title of «Tahiti sailing and navigation center».
