Please note the OWB on the left in the photo.

To the right are two more motus.

Stephans is the one in the middle. You can swim the lagoon and go to Le Ta haa resort that has the bungalows and purchase food etc there if you wish.

His Island is his home and he is very proud of it. But it is not a tourist destination, just a place to stop and rest before going back to the ship.

Enjoy Tahiti.

Get a pareo in Le Marche and wear it like the Tahitians (even the Men). Stephan can show your husband how to tie for a swimsuit.

Here is more info from a previous post regarding Stephans tours.

Ia Orana,

I noticed nobody mentioned Matta tours with Stephane. He can be found inside the visitors Hut when you are in port. His tour is also available in Raitea/Tahaa. he will take you to feed the Stingrays and then Sharks.

No worries the sharks are small. My DW was not eager to get in the water but after coaxing Loved It. He will then take you to his private Island for a little snack. Some coconut, bananas, Juice and water.

If you get burgers at the grill and put them in baggies with the Hinano you have previously purchased in Pappete and keep cold in your room fridge. You are prepared to spend the day on his Island. His Island is across the lagoon (100ft) from the Island that Le Tahaa resort is located. You can visit the resort. You can go back @ noon when he goes and gets his second tour or stay. He will get you back for the show on the ship. His children are in the show.

There will be another show later in the evening on the Pool deck.

Emerse yourself in the culture and get to know the people. They are wonderful and a highlight of our trip to Tahiti and her Islands. We have a special place in our heart for Tahiti and its people and will always be trying to get back as often as we can.:)
