The outrigger cuts through the lagoon as the last gilt of sun slips below the horizon, the hull humming and the ocean air pulling at your jacket. In minutes you land on a small motu where a wood fire waits and the first stars prick the dark—Southern constellations take on an unfamiliar geometry, and the guide’s voice threads navigational lore through the smoke.

Motion-sickness medicine
Take anti-nausea meds before boarding if you’re prone to seasickness — the lagoon is usually calm but chop can occur.

Stay within permitted areas, avoid stepping on coral, and follow guides to protect fragile beach and reef habitats.
