More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step aboard a spacious Polynesian motorized outrigger as the lagoon tilts gold. The bow’s sunpad invites a slow sprawl while a warm breeze teases the ukulele notes from the guide. The boat slips toward the Teavanui pass; the ocean’s edge and Mount Otemanu silhouette frame the horizon. Waves nudge the hull, the lagoon’s glassiness giving way to small, lively ripples that seem to dare you to stay ashore.

Arrive early for pickup
