Explore the raw southern coast of Tahiti by private boat: snorkeling in coral gardens, optional ocean dives to 40 m, surf viewpoints at Teahupo'o and lunch on a motu. A seven-hour private day that mixes sheltered lagoon time with bold ocean access.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
Standing on the gunwale as the boat threads the lagoon, the ocean speaks in a low, deliberate voice — then the reef answers with a glassy, thunderous curl at Teahupo'o. This private full-day outing moves from calm inner lagoon to the exposed southern tip of the Tahiti Peninsula, where black basalt cliffs meet clear water and coral gardens that still thrive at the edge of the Marine Protected Area.
