Cần Quan Tâm
Jardin de Corail
Discover Tahaa's famous Coral Garden, one of the most stunning drift snorkel site in French Polynesia, in the heart of a preserved lagoon. Departing from Raiatea allows you to enjoy the beauty of the lagoon on a relaxing boat ride toward Tahaa, the " Vanilla Island", with breathtaking views of Bora Bora on the horizon. After an approximate 30-minute ride, we'll arrive at the Coral Garden on the motu of Tautau. Before entering the water, you'll receive snorkeling equipment, water shoes and a small briefing by Tearii, your captain and certified snorkeling guide. The gentle current makes this snorkeling experience accessible to all and enjoyable for all levels. As the current carries you along, you'll swim in a real natural aquarium and glide over vibrant coral formations while spotting abundant marine life and schools of multicolor fish. A truly magical moment that you'll never forget ! After snorkeling, relax on the beach or aboard with fresh tropical fruits and cold drinks.
Tahaa
On the return to Raiatea, we stop at a second gorgeous site, in the middle of shallow turquoise water, where you'll encounter and safely swim with black-tip reef sharks in their natural habitat. Swimming with them feels both thrilling and deeply serene, and offers you a last opportunity to connect with the wildlife of the lagoon.

5.00Our guide Te’a (I may not be spelling correctly) was great! Very friendly, and knowledgeable. There were people on our snorkel tour that could not swim, if you can believe it, and he took the time to assist them on a floaty so they could still see the fish. He was very patient and kind. The fresh coconut and fruits provided were delicious!
Great tour, highly recommended

5.00the boat tour was great ! took 4 hours and totally worth it. We were in a cruise and they met us at the cruise dock so it is very convenient.
Fantastic sights and experience

5.00Perfect for cruise ship riders as the meeting point was right on the pier where our cruise ship docked as their booth is near the tourist center. They also are very conscientious about ensuring you get on the last tender to your boat as there were other people on the tour that had to tender to their cruise ship. Our boat driver/tour guide was fantastic! Snorkeling in the coral reefs was amazing! And swimming with the reef sharks was an unforgettable experience!

5.00This was an excellent excursion. Sarah was very helpful with information and Tea gave us an excellent experience. The boat was clean and safe. The equipment was good. The viewing of sea life, coral, sharks and rays was incredible. Absolutely recommend
Amazing day at the coral gardens and shark swimming

5.00It was amazing. So many colorful fish and coral. Our tour guide got us there early, before the crowds, so we had the gardens all to ourselves for a while. Then swimming with the sharks!! A little unnerving at first but what a great experience. Saw dolphins jumping in the water and even a couple giant rays!
Great small group experience.

5.00Great experience. The guide was fantastic. The boat seats up to 8. We had 7 people, which was way better than the large groups. Swimming with the sharks was great. More than 12+ sharks around the boat. Then the we went to the coral garden. That was really cool. And finally, the guide gave us coconut bread and bananas sprinkled with coconut flakes for the ride home. Highly recommend.
So glad we returned for a second trip!

5.00This was our second trip with Tea and we were so glad we returned! The weather wasn’t so good this time and Tea made the decision to go to the coral garden first which turned out to be a very good move as the weather deteriorated and we were unable to visit the sharks on this trip. But that was much better than not getting to the coral garden. The drift snorkel at the coral garden is really an experience not to be missed and it is so much better with a smaller group. We’ve now been to the coral garden three times, the first with a larger cruise ship tour which cost a lot more but was less enjoyable than with Tea. His boat isn’t large but is comfortable and very well equipped. He was able to provide snorkels, masks and water shoes to the people in our group who were less well prepared. He also produced cagoules when it started to rain and the wind picked up on our return journey. These were very much appreciated! The group we were with on this trip posed some definite challenges for Tea - from a very loud guy who had been everywhere and knew everything! He felt he didn’t need to stay with the group despite Tea’s comprehensive knowledge of the route through the coral. And he insisted on advising Tea how to drive the boat!! Then there was a couple who didn’t want to snorkel despite it being a drift snorkelling tour! And an older couple who were very nervous. Tea was really patient with all of them and we were so impressed by how he hand each situation with patience and understanding. And for us, in spite of some of the difficult characters, we still had a great trip and if we ever return to Raiatea, Blue-Green Experience will be our first stop!! Thank you Sara and Tea - we wish you every success!
Wonderful experience with a knowledgeable & kind guide

5.00We had been a little hesitant because they were not many reviews for this at the time we booked it, but this was undoubtably one of the best activities we did in French Polynesia and we are SO glad we booked it. Our fantastic captain & guide, Tea, knew everything about the local flora & fauna helped us see all sorts of great animals as we snorkeling. He also provided lots of local snacks and (non-alc) drinks. It was a rainy day so he gave us hot chocolate and rain jackets for the boat ride back so we could stay warm. In addition, the company offered to reschedule or cancel if we wanted to because of the rain (though we didn't choose to), and they were very helpful and responsive when we messaged them. Thank you to the team for such a fantastic experience!!
Snorkelling in an aquarium!
