Guided tour of the island of Tahaa with Revanui Excursions

8.Guided tour of the island of Tahaa with Revanui Excursions

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 56 reviews · from $148

Review of Revanui Excursions’ Tahaa island tour from Raiatea, with vanilla, rum, pearls, coral gardens, and a private motu lunch.

“Great trip, visit to Vanilla Farm, Rum Distillery and Pearl Farm. This was followed with drift passage snorkelling, which was really good but a bit more tricky than i thought it would be, maybe because the current was quite strong. Then to a secluded private motu with excellent lunch and relaxing swim. It was a great day, interesting to visit the small location businesses. We throughly enjoyed our time and really appreciated our trip. Thank you so much.”
