Top 15 Raiatea & Taha’a Tours: Coral Garden & Vanilla

19 reviewed

The two islands share a lagoon and almost nobody books them. Raiatea holds the largest marae in Polynesia; Taha’a grows most of the country’s vanilla and has a coral garden you drift through rather than swim. Here are the tours that reach both, with prices, boat sizes and which ones leave from which side.
