RAIATEA CULTURE
L'unique tour complet de Raiatea par la mer
The Polynesian Soul and Transmission in Small Groups
Signature Tour
An immersion in the history and sacred nature of Raiatea
Our signature tour is an invitation to decode the Polynesian soul. Far from superficial explanations, your Polynesian host shares the depth of his daily life, an exchange that can only exist in small groups (8 passengers max). We will explore:
- The Spiritual Foundation of Life: The place of the sacred in Polynesian life, our rituals, and respect for Marae (sacred sites).
- The Legacy of the Great Ocean: Our history, our myths, and the unbreakable bonds that unite us with our cousins on other Pacific islands (ancestral navigation).
- Know-how and Nature: Local medicine, the use of plants, and the fundamental connection with nature that is at the heart of our survival and our philosophy.
- The Cultural Divide: The challenges and wonders of reconciling ancient spirituality with modernisation, explained with honesty and nuance.
The quiet times of the day
Marae Taputapuatea
Discover the spiritual cradle of Polynesia, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Your guide will bring to life the legends and traditions that still inhabit this sacred site.
Marae Tainu'u
Ta'i" means to cry and "Nu'u" means to crawl, in homage to the lizard of Hina.
Discover Marae Tainu'u, Tumaraa's sacred site. Tour and archaeology.
Faaroa River
Embark on a peaceful journey up Polynesia's only navigable river. Surrounded by lush tropical vegetation, let yourself be enchanted by the magic of the place.
Dolphin watching
While sailing in the lagoon, keep your eyes peeled... dolphins sometimes like to accompany boats.
There is no guarantee that we will see dolphins, as they swim freely in the lagoon, but we are often lucky enough to encounter them.
Snorkelling in the coral garden
End the day with a relaxing moment in the water with the fish.
