Excursion Lagoon escape & relaxation on a idyllic motu’s white sand beach tour at Huahine

Cruise line: Silversea
Difficulty:

Embark on a memorable full-day adventure exploring the natural beauty and cultural richness of Huahine. This experience combines underwater exploration, local legends, and authentic Polynesian traditions.

Your day begins with a short 10-minute boat ride to meet your guide and set out on a scenic cruise where you might encounter playful dolphins and explore the vibrant seabed through snorkeling. Along the way, your guide shares legends and stories of Huahine, enriching your Polynesian experience.

The journey includes several snorkeling stops: the first at Vaiora Coral Garden for approximately 45 minutes, then a scenic cruise lasting 45 to 60 minutes to the next site, before stopping at Tefarrerii Coral Garden for another 45 minutes of underwater exploration. Each location offers a chance to discover colorful marine life and coral reefs.

After your underwater adventures, enjoy a relaxing and scenic buffet lunch on a private motu. Feast on Tahitian-style raw fish in coconut milk, freshly grilled chicken, rice salad, mixed greens, island fruits, soft drinks, punch, beer, still water, and fruit juice. Post-lunch, participate in a lively cultural session lasting about 30 minutes, featuring pareo tying, braiding, an introduction to Tahitian dance, and a captivating coconut show—an authentic glimpse into local traditions.

The afternoon continues with a 45-minute cruise to the last snorkeling spot, allowing more time to marvel at the marine life before heading back to the ship.
